Among 1,325 universities from across the globe, fifteen top Pakistani institutions took part, with NUTECH standing out by securing the first position in the “Technology Development and Application” category.
NUTECH’s achievements did not stop there. The university also earned the 218th spot among the world’s top 400 universities overall.

The WURI (World’s Universities with Real Impact) ranking system evaluates universities based on their practical contributions to society. Unlike traditional rankings that focus on academic research and reputation, WURI emphasizes how institutions address social challenges, support entrepreneurship, and develop real-world solutions.
Categories assessed in the WURI rankings include innovation, industrial application, social responsibility, student mobility, crisis management, and ethical values. This approach allows universities like NUTECH to be recognized for their meaningful impact beyond conventional academic achievements.
NUTECH’s outstanding performance in the 2025 rankings reinforces Pakistan’s position on the global academic innovation map and showcases the university’s commitment to technology-driven societal advancement.
