This matter was reviewed under our corrections policy, and we agreed, at our discretion, to re-calculate MEPhI¡¯s score based on a corrected data submission.

É«ºÐÖ±²¥, in alignment with the university, decided to re-calculate East China Normal University¡¯s score based on a corrected data submission. The university¡¯s corrected position in the Education subject ranking is 59 and it now qualifies for the Engineering ranking. The university has also moved to a different band in the Arts and Humanities, Business and Economics, Computer Science, Life Sciences, Physical Sciences, Psychology and Social Sciences rankings.?

After the publication of the World University Rankings 2021 by subject, ?cole Polytechnique informed us that it had submitted, and signed off, incorrect academic staff numbers for?business and economics subjects in?É«ºÐÖ±²¥¡¯s data portal, thereby excluding the institution from being ranked in the Business and Economics subject ranking, as per the inclusion criteria. This matter was reviewed under our corrections policy and we agreed, at our discretion, to calculate ?cole Polytechnique¡¯s score in Business and Economics based on a corrected data submission. The corrected submission means the university reached the staff threshold required to be ranked in the Business and Economics subject ranking, placing it at 97th position.
