"The Rankings are largely due to our first Undergraduate batch graduating this year. This was one of the criteria needed to feature in the global rankings. The insitute had ensured information was given in the correct format to facilitate proper reflection of the performance of the institute on the global stage. I believed the debut was a "Step Forward" for the instiute. " Our performance remained high. other universities are catching up due to the impetus given to research in their regions. For us to be in top 20, we need investment an support for our faculty" he concluded.
