A total of 19 measurement indicators were used to monitor and rank more than 60,000 undergraduate majors in more than 1,000 universities in China. The top 50% of universities of each major were released this time. Each professional point was divided into six grades according to its ranking. The comprehensive ranking is as follows: A+ grade (2% – 10%), B+ grade (10%-20%), B grade (20%-50%), C grade (50%-70%), and D grade (70%). Both C and D grades have not yet been released.
