Industry income....no wonder Msia failed in Times ranking.

Mostly relevant for science, engineering, business and technology subjects, this factor is increasingly becoming a priority for universities and students. It indicates the commercial impact of an institution’s research, which is itself a reflection of the industrial value of the research.

The industry income indicator is of fundamental importance if you prioritise the real-world application of the science and technology research.

I see. At least it impacts 2.5% of the ranking. Ranking can also be affected by this 2.5% if other unis have the same points in other criteria.

Still, looks like Times seems more reliable.
