Many other lacking are there as well and as I am a graduate of MUET want them to be eliminated so that I feel proud even after 10 years when I tell anyone about my university.

There should be opportunities of internship and more educational trips regarding the topics we study by university and also job fair should be introduced so that many students get employed there at the moment. These all efforts will boost the image of the university and bring it up in ranking as well.
