Asian Academia

What are the Harvard, Yale, MIT and Johns Hopkins of Asia?

Er ...

Er ... India has had U.S. News and World Report type of rankings (meaning, data collected and analyzed by national survey organisations and reported in national magazines like India Today, Outlook, etc., and catering to students and parents of students looking to join college) for a while - I believe close to 10 years - now. So, wrong info in the article, Bob!

thank you so much for your attendance and contribution

It was a really great chance for the scholars in Asia to learn and share the current and future development of ranking systems with each other. As an organizing committee of the conference, I would like to extend my sincere to bob and all participants over the world for your great works in improving higher education quality. An an quality assurance in Taiwan, we will work harder with everyone who is interested in the field of ranking and evaluation in higher education.

Thank you, Bob!!
