5. University of Cambridge
And here we have
the well known Cambridge
University, enjoying the
5th spot in our list. The university falls under the category of public
university and is also classified as a research university located in Cambridge, England.

provide accommodation to one-third of its graduate students and grants
admission purely on the ability of students to its various courses while
mentoring and advising them. A study shows that about 200-400 companies are
started each year by MIT alumni and faculty. Data from 2009 stated that 25,800
companies have been founded by its alumni, employing almost 3.3 million employees
and contributing $2 trillion to the annual revenue. As is expected of such an
institute, the admission is tough and there’s a lot of competition to deal
with.
