Next among the top-ranked universities were National Cheng Kung University (NCKU) in second place, followed in order by National Taiwan University of Science and Technology, National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University and National Tsing Hua University.

Rounding out the top 10 in order were National Taipei University of Technology, National Chengchi University, Fu Jen Catholic University (FJU), National Central University and Tamkang University, the job bank said.
FJU and Tamkang University were the only two private universities to enter the top 10, it said.
NTU has placed in the top two on the list only twice since 2015, appearing second to NCKU in 2015 and 2021.
NCKU moved from fifth place in 2022 to second last year, the job bank said, adding that the school was ranked second from 2016 to 2020.

The survey, conducted from Sept. 16 to Oct. 31 last year, collected 2,802 valid samples from employers with a margin of error of plus or minus 1.85 percentage points.
