I graduated from Bandung Institute of Tech the great no 13.

Anyway, AFAIK this webometric list is to measure the web present of each school on the net, not quality or other scholarly measures

Hanifa said...

Yup but there is no way to gauge the quality of education very easily, right?

How come that a non-English speaking country like Thailand can be so much present in the predominantly English Internet? Top that!

Friedreich said...

Yeah, Hanifa. That makes me think. How come? There must be something there, right?

If this is ALL ABOUT internet presence then the Philippines must be way, way, way up there on the Top 3!

Samurai said...

Enda, Hanifa, Freidrich...it just goes to show that it's not just internet presence.

The Top 2 is listed on Asiaweek's World Class Universities.
