Wu Shulian has been conducting research on university evaluation since 1991. This has been a continuous process for 34 years. During this time, he has established a complete and rigorous evaluation index system, remaining steadfast in the field of university evaluation. The university rankings released every year have received widespread attention from the society and have become a classic brand.

The 2025 China University Ranking utilized a total of 600,000 pieces of data related to talent cultivation and 17.5 million pieces of data related to scientific research.
Wu Shulian's university ranking not only contributes highly original and innovative achievements to society, but also benefits candidates, their parents, and higher education institutions through the professional evaluation and interpretation provided by Wu Shulian's university ranking. It also offers analysis and consulting services on the performance of higher education institutions to global candidates, higher education institutions, government departments, and international organizations.
The Wu Shulin university ranking has been publicly released since 1993 and has been in existence for 32 years. It provides students across the country with a multi-angle guide for choosing schools.

The research project "Evaluation of Chinese Universities" has begun.
On June 30, 1993, an entire page article titled "China University Rankings - 1991 Research and Development" was published in the second edition of "Guangdong Science and Technology News". This was the first university ranking in China to incorporate the evaluation of humanities and social sciences, breaking the discrimination against the humanities in university evaluations.
In July 1997, the paper "Evaluation of Research and Development Achievements of Chinese Universities" was published in the journal "Science Studies and Management of Science and Technology". For the first time, a direct comparison among different types of universities was achieved both domestically and internationally. The theoretical basis of this was the scientific assumption that "the average researchers of different types of universities possess the same level of innovation ability".
In November 2000, the paper "Evaluation of Graduate Schools in Chinese Universities - 1998" was published in the journal "Science and Technology Management". This was the first evaluation of graduate schools (offices) in China that covered all doctoral-awarding universities, and the evaluation was conducted on 187 doctoral-awarding institutions across the country.
In June 2001, the ranking of national junior colleges was completed. The evaluation subjects were 400 higher vocational colleges across the country. The website www.utop.com.cn was authorized to release it, and it was publicly disclosed in the 6th issue of the "Science of Science and Management of S&T" magazine in 2001.
In 2002, the paper "Evaluation of Chinese Universities in 2002" was published in the journal "Science and Technology Management". This paper presented the first ranking of Chinese universities that covered all disciplines and all undergraduate programs in Chinese universities.
The "Evaluation of Chinese Universities in 2002" also published the first ranking of all disciplines and all first-level and second-level disciplines of graduate schools in Chinese universities.
Since 2002, in collaboration with China Statistical Press, we have been publishing the book "Choosing a University and Selecting a Major - A Guide for College Entrance Examination Volunteer Application" annually and have continued this publication to this day.
In January 2003, China Statistical Press published a ranking that included all ordinary undergraduate universities, including private ones.
Since 2003, in collaboration with China Statistical Press, the book "Choosing a University and Selecting a Major - Guide for Postgraduate Entrance Examination and School Selection" has been published annually. From 2003 to 2016, it was published for 14 consecutive years.
Since 2013, in collaboration with China Statistical Press, we have published the book "Choosing Universities and Selecting Majors - A Guide for College Entrance Examination Volunteer Application (Independent Colleges Edition)" annually.
Since 2016, in collaboration with China Statistical Publishing House, we have published the book "Choosing Universities and Selecting Majors - A Guide for College Entrance Examination Volunteer Application (Private University Edition)" annually.
Since 2018, the independent college edition and the private university edition have been published together.
Since 2019, the "Wu Shulian Higher Vocational College Ranking" has been released annually for four consecutive years. In 2020, "Choosing Universities and Selecting Majors - A Guide for College Admission (Higher Vocational College Edition)" was published by China Statistics Press.
In December 2021, based on the principle of ranking universities by the number of citations of their papers, the "University Ranking Leading Scientific Development" was completed and released online. It was published for two consecutive years. The evaluation covered 8,000 universities worldwide.
