          - Singapore reaps the benefits of investment and internationalization: while other systems across the continent strive to emulate it, Singapore reigns supreme.
          - Mainland China dominates the rankings for number of universities, with 118 in total and four among the top-ten: a remarkable progress. Until 2015, only one university from Mainland China featured among Asia's top ten.
          - Hong Kong's top three universities drop one place each, whilst the next four down rise and there is even a new entry. The performance of the Special Administrative Region in the ranking has not (yet) been affected by the protracted civil unrest.
          - India boasts 96 universities including 20 new entries but none among the top-30; The Indian Institute of Technology Bombay is the top performer, placing 34th regionally.
          - Japan has endured another stagnant year. Although it has eight universities in the top-30 and 87 in total, the majority have dropped. Relative regression in the research indicators, is largely responsible for this indifferent performance.
          - South Korea, with 71 universities ranked, shows a persistent pattern of small falls, with Seoul National University dropping out of the top ten. However, there are still seven Korean universities in the top-100.
          - Malaysia continues its noteworthy progress, excelling in the reputational indicators, the international research network criterion, and internationalization metrics.
          21 of its 29 ranked institutions rise.

          - Also Featured in the rankings universities from the following locations: Bangladesh, Brunei, Indonesia, Macau, Mongolia, Pakistan, Philippines, Sri Lanka, Taiwan and Vietnam.
