HEC Ranking... Who is responsible; University or HEC ?

HEC has announced its new ranking and surprisingly NED and IoBM ratings are decreasing down. Can you digest it? Yes there is a criteria defined for HEC grading but HEC shouldn't neglect the current market trend and jobs ratio. Both of these universities are perceived to be the high gentry of student in engineering and business.

But aren't universities liable for this grading ? yes, they are! If we talk about NED, being a university of state its management has few responsibilities to fulfill first. The university producing champs of different engineering fields has not even replaced blackboards from it till yet. Although Private Universities are considered as money making factories but some are very good as they own a good name in Industry too. Is there any mechanism given by these universities that their grading can be dependant upon the student feedback surveys too. In my 6 years of University education I have never filled a University grading form by HEC.
Being a government institution NED, is also a victim of traditional working trend. The professor who is eligible of a chairman post is forced to sit aside and chairman seat will be awarded to his junior without having any serious claim against him. A dean can have 3 position at the same time including Chairmanship  of 2 departments. Isn't it the monopoly ? Non-professional teachers are hired in faculty just because they are relatives of the person on higher posts. And they are awarded with HEC foreign scholarships too. And as a result we need to face the brain drain.

I think Governor Sindh should take notice of the internal management issues in government universities as he being the chancellor owns this responsibility. Quota system should be removed from every university so as to maintain the merit and proper scholarship awarding schemes should also be introduced for the students who can't afford high fees. If nobody will take any notice then there would be no skilled faculty remains in the universities to teach the students what they should learn.
