Hamad Bin Khalifa University (HBKU) has achieved remarkable progress in a short span of time, according to its provost, Dr Prabhat Hajela. Speaking at an orientation program for undergraduate students, Hajela noted that with 15 years of existence, HBKU is ranked within the top 250 globally among thousands of universities. This accomplishment is significant for a new institution.
In terms of research, HBKU received a perfect score of 100 out of 100, highlighting its strength in graduate schools. The university's selective admissions process, with approximately 8,000 applications for just 300 undergraduate seats, underscores its growing reputation. This year, a majority of incoming students are pursuing engineering and technology degrees, providing them with valuable research opportunities and a strong foundation for their graduate studies.
Hajela emphasized that HBKU's focus remains on national and regional relevance, positioning the university as a key player in Qatar and the broader region.
