Islamabad
\nIn a remarkable ascent for one of Pakistan\u2019s youngest public universities, the National Skills University Islamabad (NSU) has been ranked second-best in the Islamabad Capital Territory in the UI GreenMetric World University Rankings 2025, just behind Allama Iqbal Open University. This recent recognition underscores NSU\u2019s rising global profile and commitment to sustainability. At the national level, NSU secured an impressive 12th position, a milestone that places it firmly among the country\u2019s most sustainability-driven higher education institutions.
\nThe main campus of the NSU is in Islamabad\u2019s H-8 sector. NSU has rapidly emerged as a model for environmentally conscious campus development, an achievement made more striking given that the university is only six years old. Its reputation now extends far beyond Pakistan. The European Training Foundation has recognized NSU as a Centre of Vocational Excellence, while UNESCO-UNEVOC has designated it as a highly progressive skills and innovation hub. In the past year alone, NSU clinched two international awards under the UNESCO-UNEVOC Coaction initiative, underscoring its growing global relevance. These accomplishments demonstrate NSU\u2019s commitment to excellence and innovation, reassuring stakeholders of its credibility and influence.
\nAcademic leaders credit the university\u2019s rise to its founding vice chancellor, Prof. Dr. Muhammad Mukhtar, whose unwavering emphasis on sustainability, green infrastructure, and skills-oriented education has shaped NSU\u2019s institutional culture. Colleagues describe him as a leader who \u201cbuilds green campuses not as a trend but as a long-term responsibility to the planet and its people.\u201d This leadership has propelled NSU to receive international recognition, including awards that highlight its commitment to sustainable development and innovation on a global scale.
\nThis year\u2019s UI GreenMetric edition evaluated 1,745 universities across 105 countries, making it the world\u2019s most extensive ranking system dedicated to measuring sustainability in higher education. Against such global competition, NSU\u2019s performance signals not just local achievement but a promise of what a skills-focused, environmentally responsible university can contribute to Pakistan\u2019s academic future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
