  The Best Chinese Universities Ranking by ShanghaiRanking was formerly known as “China’s Best Chinese Universities Ranking”. Since its debut in 2015, the ranking has won extensive recognition both within and beyond the higher education sector for being professional, objective and transparent, and developed  into a leading brand of Chinese university ranking with significant social influence and authoritative reference value. Guided by the mission to support the development and progress of China’s higher education, the ranking leverages big data from the “University 360-degree Data Monitoring Platform” and employs hundreds of indicators to conduct a comprehensive, systematic and dynamic monitoring-based evaluation of Chinese universities, providing timely, reliable and rich comparative information to students, parents and the public.

    According to a report released on April 14 by Shenzhen Evaluation (SZPJ) --- a third-party Chinese higher education evaluation organization --- Moutai Institute consecutively ranked in the top 10% of the national value-added evaluation of research competitiveness for Chinese non-government universities from 2023 to 2025, ranking among the most improved non-government universities in China for research growth.

Moutai Institute has offered 15 undergraduate majors covering the entire baijiu brewing industry. Backed by Moutai Group, it has pioneered an industry-education integration talent cultivation model in which enterprises serve as the coordinator, the Institute takes the lead in teaching, and multiple industry and research partners act as collaborators. By co-establishing more than 80 industry-education integration bases with enterprises, the institute effectively bridges the gap between the classroom and the workshop, forging a distinctive talent cultivation path that spans “from the field to the shelf”.
