Palompon Institute of Technology (PIT) is proud to be among the 10 State Universities and Colleges (SUCs) in Eastern Visayas recognized in the Times Higher Education (THE) Impact Rankings 2026.
According to the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) Region VIII, the number of Eastern Visayas SUCs included in the prestigious global rankings increased from seven in 2025 to 10 in 2026, with PIT joining the list of ranked institutions.
THE Impact Rankings assess higher education institutions worldwide based on their contributions to achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), with PIT earning recognition for SDG 1: No Poverty, represented by Mrs. Janet Aclao; SDG 4: Quality Education, with Mr. Jiv N. Codera and Ms. Jonalou D. Gecain serving as focal persons; SDG 5: Gender Equality, by Mr. Jiv N. Codera; and SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals, with Dr. Neil L. Egloso as focal person.
Inclusion reflects PIT's growing commitment to quality education, impactful research, innovation, community engagement, and sustainability in support of the SDGs. It also marks the institution's second international university ranking, following its recognition in the World University Rankings for Innovation (WURI).
Being included in THE Impact Rankings is a testament to the collective dedication of the PIT communityโits stakeholders, faculty, staff, students, alumni, and industry partnersโwhose efforts continue to elevate the institution on the global stage.
Congratulations, Palompon Institute of Technology! Here's to reaching greater heights and making an even greater impact.
