Comparative Rankings of Batangas Colleges and Universities Based on Recent Board Exams
Colleges and universities in the Province of Batangas continue to do well in national licensure examinations almost a year after Life So Mundane first published an article detailing the academic achievements of these schools. This is according to data made publicly available by FindUniversity.ph, which describes itself as “a directory of academic programs offered by colleges and universities in the Philippines.”
Although the top two schools in the CALABARZON are from the Province of Laguna, five of the eight colleges and universities in Batangas whose graduates take part in at least seven licensure examinations were ranked in the upper third among thirty-five other schools which meet the criterion. The remaining three schools were in the middle third.
What this basically tells us is that the University of the Philippines at Los Baños apart, the standard of tertiary level education in Batangas is generally higher than those in other provinces of the CALABARZON region.
FindUniversity.ph ranks colleges and universities on the basis of how their graduates performed in the past four examinations, counting only the first time exam takers. Schools with less than ten first-time examiners are not ranked. The full methodology will be provided at the bottom of this article.
All readers are advised to please note school rankings change over time as new licensure examinations are administered. Naturally, how the graduates of each school perform in subsequent examinations will affect their school’s ranking. The rankings presented in this article are dated February 2017.

Methodology
Kindly note that the methodology stated below has been quoted verbatim from FindUniversity.ph:
- We aggregated the board exam passing rates of each school in each board exam, in the past 4 exams. Only first timers were counted (we did not count people who took the exam the 2nd or 3rd time).
- We ranked each school in each exam, based on it's aggregated passing rates.
For example: a school with an aggregated passing rate of 73% for the Mechanical Engineer Licensure Exam, will be ranked higher than a school with 68% passing rate for the same exam. - Schools that had a total of less than 10 examinees (first timers) for a particular board exam during the past 4 exams, were not ranked for that specific exam.
- We calculated the weighted position of each school in each board exam.
For example: a school that is ranked first in the Mechanical Engineering Licensure Exam, get's a score of 100 for this particular exam. A school that ranks in the 10th percentile will get a score of 90 for that board exam, and so forth. - Finally, we calculated the average weighted position of each school in all board exams that school was ranked in.
- We ranked different campuses of the same university separately, since they differ in location, facilities, faculty and programs offered. We believe that (for example) ranking UP Diliman and UP Cebu as one entity is not accurate.
- The official ranking presented here contains schools that were ranked in at least 7 board exams.
