Catastrophic Facts : the first Algerian university is ranked 4,116 and INI is 8,960

As far as I hated that institute called INI (ESI) I never thought it will be that bad. Today after a small chat with a student from there, he was telling me that after 3 months (a whole trimester) they still DIDN’T DO any work practices on machines (TP), so I decided to check the ranking of Algerian universities maybe there still some hope.
If you do not agree that universities are the measure of evolution / retardation in a country please leave a comment explaining why is (1 – 1 = 6) too.
According the the ranking, the first Algerian university (Université Djillali Liabes) is at the 4116th position, followed by Université Abou Bekr Belkaid Tlemcen at the 4143th position then Université de Batna at the 5548th position.
Looking for my lovely Institute which I spent some time in, I was shocked that it was not even among the first 6000 universities worldwide! A little further search reveals its 8,960th position –YES 8960-, you can find it here http://www.webometrics.info/top100_continent.asp?cont=africa –the END of the page-.


So my question is, are our universities just a place for people to spend -waste- time? to occupy our youth generation 5 or 6 years before facing the fact that they won’t make any tiny difference in the world with what they studied? Shouldn’t we feel ashamed being ranked after the poorest countries in Africa with our millions of $$$ coming everyday from petroleum resources –and going directly to the pockets of our lovely thi*eves-? Is there an institute in the world for Computer Science without Internet for its students in the year 2010? –Maya’s are expecting the world to end after 2 years-
Finally I want to congratulate INI and all the Algerian universities out there for the highest ranking –the number of characters it occupied-, and congratulate their students also for not accepting the fact that they are not even among the first 4100 universities, also since we still fight for our right in the RESTO and such stuff, I’m pretty sure we are not going to move any further in the near future.
Happy new year, let’s pray that the ranking won’t get any worse in the new year.
