Pakistani universities listed as “reporters”?

A large number of Pakistani unis appear in the reporter category of THE instead of receiving a numerical ranking or ranking band.

Reporter status does not mean that the university is placed at the bottom of the global rankings. Instead, it indicates that the institution is included in the THE system but does not meet the requirements for an official classification position.
