ShanghaiRanking Consultancy has released the Global Ranking of Academic Subjects 2017. ShanghaiRanking began to publish Academic Ranking of World Universities by academic subjects in 2009. The report ranks universities in 52 subjects across natural sciences, engineering, life sciences, medical sciences, and social sciences. In total, more than 4,000 universities are ranked. 

To be included in a subject ranking, the universities need to have a minimum number of research publications during the period of 2011-2015. The publication threshold for Computer Science and Engineering is 150. 

Different weights are allocated to the indicators for different subjects in the Global Ranking Methodology. For each indicator, institutions are calculated as a percentage of the top scored institution and then multiplied by the allocated weight. A final score is arrived by adding scores for all indicators and the final score is ranked in descending order.

Rankings for Computer Science & Engineering follow here.
