Couldn’t resist another post. We have recently announced that our rankings will change. We will no longer be working with QS, who have previously collected and compiled the data for us. The methodology is now up for open consultation to ensure we are meeting the needs of the university community. Details, the editor’s comments, and space for all to have thier say here: http://bit.ly/ErAag

Comment on QS.com Asian University Rankings: niches within niches…within… by RP Orio

Your data on student population and others are wrong! For example, you talked about UP Diliman, then you included all the student population of the seven campuses. Your number of undergraduate and graduate degree programs is also wrong. UP Diliman alone has more than 300 degree programs, not 94. Your descriptive statements of schools are also obsolete. Where do you get all these wrong data and misinformation? I know UP never submitted data for your ranking. How have you been obtaining those spurious data all these years. Funny but not entertaining!

For the Philippines, university ranking does not match reality. For example, one school with only Management Engineering (not even a real Engineering course), Electronics & Communications Engineering, and Computer Science is the country’s best in Engineering and IT! How could that be. Silly! Then in Arts & Humanities, that same school is also best when it does not even offer courses in the Arts. Also, in life sciences and biomedicine, how could that school be the best when it has only one or two pre-medicine course,and a new medicine degree. These are not even recognized locally as good programs. Unthinkable! Here is another one for the record: UST could even be better than this school in this subject or field. You must be kidding. Better wake up before you lead to self-destruct. You will be sorry yourself for no one will believe your ranking!
