 A noteworthy aspect is the university’s consistent improvement in the QS World University Rankings by Subject. 

NUST’s recognition in 15 out of 55 subjects this year surpasses its previous year’s standing, where it was ranked in 12 out of 54 subjects. 

The steady upward trajectory of NUST’s standing on the international stage is a testament to its pursuits of academic excellence, innovation, and scholarly contributions across diverse fields.

Meanwhile, in a commendable act aimed at uplifting his country of origin and its younger generation, an American-Pakistani entrepreneur from Houston generously donated $9 million to Islamabad’s National University of Science & Technology (NUST).

This contribution is designated to assist students from underprivileged backgrounds in accessing quality education through scholarships.

Tanweer Ahmed stated “This initiative involves a three-way collaboration between my company Pakfoods, NUST, and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).

The agreement was signed on September 9, 2023, in Islamabad, coinciding with the USAID-supported Invest in Pakistan Conference, which was organized in collaboration with the American Pakistani diaspora.”
