On the 1st of each month NSDP scores every active campus on the last 12 months and ranks the campuses of each city, each province and the whole country. Your place and every number behind it are on Recognition → Rank & level. The public leaderboard on nsdp.pk shows the same figures.
How the score is made
| Measure | Weight | How it is counted |
|---|---|---|
| Completion rate | 30% | Completed seats ÷ seats in batches that ended in the window. |
| Attendance | 25% | Present (and late) marks ÷ marks that count. Excused leave does not count against you. |
| Student rating | 20% | Approved ratings of your classes, adjusted so a handful of reviews does not swing it (as if 5 extra ratings of 4 stars). |
| Placements | 25% | Learners with a job, internship, freelancing, business or further study ÷ completed learners. A verified placement counts in full, a self-reported one half. |
Reading your rank
- #2 of 9 in Lahore: your place among the ranked campuses of your city. The same for your province and Pakistan.
- Up / down: the change since last month. Campuses with the same score share a place.
- What to improve compares you with the best campus in your city and names the two measures with the most room.
- Not ranked yet means your campus had fewer than 20 students (or 10 finished seats) in the last 12 months.
Verified Campus and Premier Campus
What each status means
- Verified CampusYour campus passed NSDP's verification (owner identity, registration, premises and bank account on the Verification page). NSDP grants it once the verification is approved.
- Premier CampusA Verified Campus with sustained quality. NSDP grants it when every Premier check passes.
| Premier check | What it needs |
|---|---|
| Verified for a while | A Verified Campus for at least 90 days. |
| Agreement | The current NSDP campus agreement accepted. |
| Ratings | An average of 4.3 or more from at least 15 ratings in the last 12 months. |
| Rank | Ranked in each of the last three months, and in the top quarter of your province or the top 3 of your city in at least two of them. |
| Placements | A placement rate of at least 25%. |
| Complaints | No complaint upheld by NSDP in the last 12 months. |
Your page shows every check with your figure. NSDP re-checks Premier campuses after each monthly ranking; if a check fails, NSDP reviews the level (it is never removed automatically). Levels appear on your campus card and page on nsdp.pk.
Are there bronze or silver levels?
No. There are two recognitions: Verified Campus and Premier Campus.
Why is my campus not ranked?
It needs at least 20 students and 10 seats in finished batches in the last 12 months. Smaller campuses still see their score.
When does my rank change?
Once a month, on the 1st. The page always shows the latest published month.
