National Chung Hsing University (NCHU) entered the top 10 for the first time, replacing Fu Jen Catholic University, which ranked ninth last year.
The rest of the top 10 comprised National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University, National Taiwan University of Science and Technology, National Sun Yat-sen University, Taipei Tech, National Chengchi University, National Central University and NCHU.
Among private universities, Chung Yuan Christian University, Fu Jen Catholic University, Feng Chia University, Tamkang University and Tunghai University ranked highest, placing 12th to 16th overall.
The survey drew on more than 4.18 million job-seeking and employment data records, nearly 1,000 corporate questionnaires and publicly available government information, 104 Corp said.
More than 120 universities and colleges were evaluated across 12 major indicators and 105 sub-indicators, measuring performance in talent cultivation, employability and social impact, it said.
The company also recognized the three institutions with the biggest year-on-year gains: China Medical University, which climbed 20 places; National Taiwan Ocean University, up eight; and Chang Gung University, up six.
Nine of the top 10 universities were unchanged from last year, showing that brand strength in higher education is built through sustained, long-term effort, said Spring Wang (王榮春), head of 104's career education division.
Universities tend to excel in different academic fields, such as Shih Hsin University, National Chengchi University and Ming Chuan University in mass communication, and National Taiwan University of Arts, Taipei National University of the Arts and National Taiwan University in the arts, he said.
Meanwhile, Deputy Minister of Education Chu Chun-chang (朱俊彰) said that the government has been promoting higher education development programs, with a focus on helping students apply artificial intelligence effectively rather than becoming dependent on it, while improving cooperation with universities to meet industry and national talent needs.

GLOBALGIVING: ‘ Caving to external pressure is not acceptable for an organization that has cultivated justice reform and human rights for 30 years,’ one NGO said A slew of non-government organizations (NGOs) have withdrawn from the GlobalGiving fundraising platform after it announced it would use “Chinese Taipei” instead of “Taiwan” from next month. The Taiwan Good Rice Association wrote on Facebook on Friday that it was informed on April 28 via a teleconference call of the change, which was made because the platform wanted to operate in China.
