A number of universities in Malaysia continue to be ranked higher in the global rankings and the ranking system is seen by many as a primary measure to determine university’s quality and standards. Ranking serves as one of the performance indicators to measure university’s quality of excellence in teaching and learning, research, as well as international recognition. It is a yardstick to measure the performances and competitiveness of universities, as an indicator for continuous improvement, and as a quality assurance since it enables universities to make their presence felt globally. Therefore, UTM has placed ranking as one of the mediums for measuring the level of achievement of the University.
