7. In my opinion, AIT should be applied to World University Ranking and Specific Academic Programs too –But today we explore World University Ranking .
8. For World University Ranking – there are three system of rankings all three have been refered to by various sources ;
8.1) The Shanghai Jiao Tong University World Ranking in Shanghai China – Started in 2003 probably the most important one for AIT in term of pre-stage. Because it deals with top research university in the world.
It started with ideas to see the gap between Chinese University and the rest of the world.
Their Methodology is..
- 40% Quality of Faculty
- 40% Quality of Research
