Method & notes
Staff count reflects institutional scale; it should not be treated as a league table of teaching or research quality.
METHOD & LIMITATIONSLatest academic-staff workforce size.
PulseKita ranks individual public universities using MOHE all-citizenship, both-sex academic-staff counts for the latest published year.
- This is a workforce-size ranking, not a university-quality ranking.
- Large research universities may naturally employ more lecturers because of institution scale and programme breadth.
- The latest official open-data year is 2023.
