UTM in Top Position in Two University Rankings

Saturday 30 July 2011. Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) is now in top position in university ranking in Malaysia based on two world university rankings namely Webometrics (www.webometrics.info) dan 4 International Colleges & Universities (www.4icu.org). Both rankings use the website ass...essment approach to determine the performance of universities based on content, references, visibility and scholarship through activities in cyber space. This is based on the premise that universities which are ranked highly are always referred to and act as reference points based on material content and scholarship of the academics at the university. In the present modern context, this is done virtually. The latest webometric ranking announced on 30 July reported that UTM is placed in top position followed by USM, UKM, UM and UPM. At the global stage, UTM is ranked 419, USM 428, UKM
462, UM 552 dan UPM 589. The webometric ranking involves 20,000 higher learning institutions around the world. The top ten ranking is monopolised by American universities like MIT, followed by Harvard, Stanford, Cornell, Berkeley, Michigan, Wisconsin Madison, Washington, Minessota dan Pennsylvania. While for the 4 International Colleges and University (4ICU) ranking, UTM is in top position in Malaysia and 280 in the world. The 4ICU Ranking which was announced earlier week is an accredited college and university search engine and directory covering10,200 institutions in 200 countries. According to the UTM Vice-Chancellor, Prof Zaini Ujang, “UTM's success in top position in Malaysia in both rankings is the result of teamwork and strong team effort among the whole university community including academic and non-academic staff as well as students. "Dr Zaini further added, “UTM implements high impact and differentiation strategy in all dimensions to ensure that the organisation is more focused, vibrant and competitive.
