In this sense, the BUITEMS remained as the only university from Balochistan to be included in this prestigious global list, ranking 43rd among Pakistani universities.
The Times Higher Education (THE), based in the United Kingdom, released its 2026 World University Rankings featuring 2,191 universities from 115 countries and regions.
The THE ranking system is considered one of the most credible and influential benchmarks in global higher education, used by students, academics, policymakers, and industry experts worldwide.
Furthermore, this year, a total of 99 Pakistani universities made it to the THE World University Rankings 2026. Among these, 48 institutions have received official rankings, and the remaining universities were designated as “reporters.” The “reporter” status indicates that these institutions participated in the assessment process but were not assigned a formal ranking.
