MSU-IIT Chancellor lauds university's QS Ranking

The Mindano State University-Iligan Institute of Technology (MSU-IIT) expressed its gratitude for being considered as one of the Top 500 universities in Asia.

"I am happy, proud, humbled, and challenged to do more for MSU-IIT," Professor Sukarno Tanggol, chancellor of MSU-IIT, told GMA News Online.

The MSU-IIT joined University of San Carlos, Mapua University and Silliman University that are ranked between the 300 to 500 bracket of Quacquarelli Symonds Asia University Rankings 2019.

"We are thankful to QS for considering us for the first time for evaluation as an autonomous campus, treated separately from the MSU System," Tanggol added.

Earlier this month, Dahr Tur Madayan Silao, graduate of MSU-IIT topped the country's Metallurgical Engineer Licensure Examination given by the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC).

Five other MSU-IIT graduates made it to the top ten list. These are: Angelica Barrios Alvizo, Glide Manzano Espina, Jerald Mark Maregmen Gestupa, Aljon Rey Alejandre Lagayada, and Yanno-Ray Montecillo Cahiles. — Dona Magsino with Merlyn Manos/BAP, GMA News
