FindUniversity.ph conducted the first ranking of Philippine universities based on relevant, up-to-date, and measurable data.

FindUniversity.ph aggregated the results from those board exams, ranked each school in each board exam, and then aggregated the rankings for each school, to come up with a weighted board exams ranking for each school.
