PU moves up in QS World Rankings, enters 901-950 band
Chandigarh: Panjab University has moved up significantly in the QS World University Rankings 2025, breaking into the 901-950 bracket globally. Last year, it was placed in the 1001-1200 band, and the rise reflects improvement across several key academic and research indicators. According to the detailed metrics published by QS, the university has made notable gains in academic reputation, citation impact, and employment outcomes. PU's academic reputation score rose from 7.8 last year to 9.4 this year, while its score for citations per faculty—a key measure of research output and quality—jumped from 24.1 to 43.5. Employer reputation also saw an increase from 7.3 to 11.5, suggesting growing industry recognition of PU graduates. Faculty-student ratio improved from 6.2 to 10.3, and employment outcomes rose from 31.8 to 39.6. The university's performance in the international research network metric also continued to rise, reaching 33 from last year's 30.9. There has also been improvement in PU's international student metrics. Its international student ratio increased from 1.7 to 3.2, and it scored 7.5 in international student diversity. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo Vice Chancellor Prof Renu Vig said the latest ranking reflected "continuous improvement in performance over the last years." She added, "Breaking into the top 900-950 bracket globally represents a significant milestone in our journey towards academic excellence. Our strong performance in citations per faculty and sustainability highlights our focus on impactful research and student success." In 2022, Panjab University had slipped to the 1201+ band. It recovered slightly in 2023 and 2024 by entering the 1001-1200 range, but this year marks its most significant jump yet. This year's QS list includes over 1,500 universities worldwide, with 54 from India. The rankings serve as a key global benchmark for universities, influencing academic partnerships and student mobility. Another university in the region, Chandigarh University, has exhibited a steady upward trajectory in the ranking over recent years. In the 2025 edition, it was positioned in the 601–650 band globally, securing a spot among India's private universities but still outside the top 600. However, with the QS 2026 rankings released, the university advanced significantly to 575th place—a rise of approximately 25 rank bands—positioning it firmly within the top 2% worldwide. This year, it also improved its national standing, moving from 18th to 16th among all Indian universities and from 3rd to 2nd among private ones.

Designer Brands, Tilly's, Gray Television, G-III, and Soho House Shares Are Soaring, What You Need To Know
A number of stocks jumped in the afternoon session after the major indices rebounded (Nasdaq +1.5%, S&P 500 +1.0%) as reports pointed to easing tensions between Israel and Iran. The Wall Street Journal said senior Iranian officials had signaled a willingness to restart stalled nuclear talks, on the condition that Washington refrain from joining Israel's ongoing strikes. This development triggered a significant decline in oil prices, easing inflation concerns. Also, it is possible some investors were buying the dip following the sell-off at the end of the previous week. The stock market overreacts to news, and big price drops can present good opportunities to buy high-quality stocks. Among others, the following stocks were impacted: Footwear Retailer company Designer Brands (NYSE:DBI) jumped 7.2%. Is now the time to buy Designer Brands?

Designer Brands's shares are extremely volatile and have had 58 moves greater than 5% over the last year. In that context, today's move indicates the market considers this news meaningful but not something that would fundamentally change its perception of the business. The previous big move we wrote about was 3 days ago when the stock dropped 7.3% after the major indices pulled back (Nasdaq -1.3%, S&P 500 -1.1%) as Israel carried out significant strikes on Iranian nuclear and military sites, dramatically escalating fears of a broader conflict in the Middle East. This development sent crude oil prices surging, as investors feared potential disruptions to global oil supply and a wider regional conflict. Designer Brands is down 54.3% since the beginning of the year, and at $2.42 per share, it is trading 70.3% below its 52-week high of $8.16 from July 2024. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Designer Brands's shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $301.73.

Eid-ul-Adha 2025: Pakistan tanners say collected more animal skins, hides this year
The Pakistan Tanners Association (PTA) has reported an increase in the collection of sacrificial animal skins and hides after Eid-ul-Adha 2025, with the number rising to over 7.4 million this year, against 7.3 million recorded last year. The association cited a decrease in skins and hides wastages this year as one of the reasons for the increase in the collection, but termed the increase 'unusual' amid a decrease in purchasing power and rising costs of animals. Pakistan Tanners Association demands resolution of issues facing leather industry The PTA said around 5% of skins and hides were wasted this year, compared to 10-15% last year. Source: Pakistan Tanners Association The number of skins and hides collected this year exceeded 7.4 million, 1.4% increase against 7.3 million, according to the PTA estimates. Eid-ul-Adha 2025: trade peaks at Asia's largest cattle market in Karachi The association estimated the worth of the collected 7.4 million skins and hides at around Rs7.5 billion, with a cow hide estimated at Rs1,775, followed by goat, sheep, camel, buffalo skins/hides valued at Rs446, Rs47, Rs578, and Rs1,680 each, respectively. These animals skins and hides are widely used in Pakistan by the leather industry to make clothing, footwear, handbags, and different other products.

Facilities using SLCP framework see drop in labour law violations
The SLCP completed over 10,000 assessments in 2024, affecting approximately 7.3 million workers globally. According to the report, facilities implementing the SLCP's Converged Assessment Framework (CAF) consecutively reported a dip in national and international labour standards' violations. The CAF's design allows facilities to distribute their assessment data to various stakeholders, eliminating the need for multiple audits. This efficiency resulted in a potential savings of $39m in 2024, marking a 39% increase from the previous year. These funds are earmarked for enhancing workplace conditions. The frequency of SLCP assessment sharing has risen, with each assessment being distributed nearly three times on average, a 16% increase from 2023. Data suggests that sustained application of the CAF aids facilities in pinpointing and diminishing legal non-compliances, fostering improvements in the workplace environment. The CAF's growing use and refinements to the Data Collection Tool have allowed SLCP to derive more insights from aggregate facility data. Notably, the framework now integrates more detailed gender-related data points, underscoring the capability of SLCP data to discern trends and influence policy development. Key findings from the report include: - Overtime working hours remain a significant issue, with a strong correlation identified between excessive hours and subcontractor usage as well as wage determination based on legal minimums rather than living wages. - The majority of legal non-compliances identified in SLCP assessments relate to the Wages and Benefits section of the CAF. - Despite women constituting 59% of the workforce in SLCP facilities, they hold only 33% of supervisory or managerial roles. Additionally, 35% of facilities report higher compensation for men over women in equivalent positions. The report also underscores SLCP's collaborative efforts and policy initiatives through partnerships with stakeholders and other multi-stakeholder initiatives (MSIs). It emphasises that while SLCP plays a vital role in improving working conditions, substantial progress requires unified action and robust collaboration within the industry. SLCP CEO Janet Mensink said:'We're seeing clear evidence that our vision and mission are being realised, with users of the CAF making tangible improvements to working conditions that are being reflected in assessments the following years. 'But there's still much more work to be done in the industry. Our aggregate facility data shows that 92 per cent of assessments in 2024 included at least one non-compliance against the national labour law. This is why our work continues to be so critical – in the policy space, through collaboration with stakeholders, and in the growing adoption of SLCP. Together, we can continue to drive meaningful change.' In April this year, SLCP introduced an updated version (1.7) of its CAF.
