Chinese university ranking (Netbig)

The Chinese university ranking is a ranking of universities in mainland China by Netbig, an internet company focused on higher education, founded by Jiang Jining, who graduated from University of Science and Technology of China. The ranking is conducted annually since 1999, and is generally released in July, around the time of college entrance examination. This ranking, however, has ceased to publish newer versions since 2013.[1]

Ranking methods

There are seven different ranking systems in Chinese university ranking (Netbig).[2]

The first ranking system is "comprehensive(overall) ranking", which is based on 2~7th ranking system.

The second ranking system is based on "reputation".

The third ranking system is based on “academic resources”.

The forth ranking system is based on "academic achievement".

The fifth ranking system is based on "student ability".

The sixth ranking system is based on "professor honor"

The seventh ranking system is based on "reserve fund".

Criticism

After its first release Netbig was sued by a Renmin University of China alumnus for committing libel to his Alma mater, by ranking the school 25th when it has the best law school in China. An official from the Chinese Ministry of Education commented on the ranking as being "baseless" and "completely without scientific studies."[3][4] Some also argued that Netbig did not but should have considered employment data in ranking the universities.[5]
