University Of Lahore

The University Of Lahore getting attention from educationalists as its achieved high ranks in sector and also ranked in world's 500 universities and got 'W' category by HEC. That is what they are publishing on their marketing medias. I agreed that no doubt they have reached on a high place but there are some reasons behind that.

First reasons is that they were operating in this sector in collaboration with Hamdard University but few years ago they changed their name as the result of their disputes with Hamdard University on high collaboration contract renewal fee. So when they changed their name to University of Lahore they already got a proper setup and students. So when international organizations measure the growth UOL they measure their progress in five years and shocked to see a university doing this much growth.



Another reason for there popularity is that they are offering everything, Yes ask for medical, engineering, business, commerce, pharmacy I mean everything. Accredited by the Pakistan Engineering Council, Pakistan Medical and Dental Council and The Pharmacy Council of Pakistan and W rank from HEC sounds like woOww.
But let me tell you the inner side of picture, the most important factor for any educational institute is its teaching. So I have discussed with some students of UOL about their teachers and their teaching methods. The response was not satisfactory for me and wasn't near all the ratings and rankings they have got. You will read detail of my conversation with a student in "Student Talk" section.

With new campus near COMSATS they might get more attention but the ting is standard of education. They have to pull is up to meet the real competitors in Education Industry. Okay now have some quick review of different aspects of University Of Lahore.

STUDENT TALK: I talked to many students of University of Lahore and findout useful information. A student of BBA (hons) Sultan told me about faculty of business administration. He told me that Business Administration faculty is Normal overall but if we take faculty of finance out of it, it might be ranked below average. Teachers are not very much keen of quality. He was satisfied with cafe of new building but not the old one. According to Sultan class rooms are not quit meet the standards and not even enough spacious.


FACILITIES: Facilities at UOL are not up to the mark they need to improve their facilities for students. Class rooms are not quit good, cafeteria is normal with reasonable variety and taste, transport service is equal to nothing but lawns are green, overall campus environment is healthy.
