By Kaccie Li | 15 August 2012 7:48 AMthese rankings are meaningless. the university rankings shall be solely based on university contribution to the science, technology, and well being of the country's people. Do you wanna let china rank the impact of your universities on your people's well being?
If so keep discussing the results as long as you want but realize chinese may enjoy you waste your time on the discussion while they send astronauts into space.

Since you stand 3rd, I have simple math quiz for you:
Two students are graduated from top rank and bottom rank universities. Both have published 5 conference and 3 journal papers through out their studies and finished it in 3 years.
Which one would you hire for your company?
