The Chinese mainland topped the inaugural Times rankings of universities in the BRICS and emerging economies released Wednesday evening.
 
In total, the Chinese mainland claimed six spots in the top 20 rankings, 15 top 50, and 23 top 100 institutions.
 
"China has emerged as the strongest higher education nation among the emerging economies," said Phil Baty, editor of the Times Higher Education Rankings.
 
"This success comes as a result of clear political leadership and strong financial support for the academy, and should serve as a lesson for the rest of the world," he said. "It prioritized support for leading universities back in the 1990s and it is now seeing the benefits of that support."
 
He told Xinhua that China "perhaps provides a model for the other BRICS countries in terms of focused, generous funding to a selected group of leading institutions, backed by a strong campaign to attract international talent."
 
This is world's first ranking for universities in Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, plus other emerging economies.
 
Baty believed that ranking universities in this manner helps students to make more informed choices of where is best for them to study and achieve their academic goals. "In this important new exercise, we are giving visibility to many more strong institutions, and potentially many future stars of the overall global rankings," he said.
 
According to Baty, the ranking was based on the same methodology as the World University Rankings, with 13 performance indicators in five areas used. These areas included teaching, research, citations, industry income and international outlook.
