Rounding out the top 10 in order were National Taipei University of Technology, National Chengchi University, Fu Jen Catholic University (FJU), National Central University and Tamkang University, the job bank said.
FJU and Tamkang University were the only two private universities to enter the top 10, it said.

The survey, conducted from Sept. 16 to Oct. 31 last year, collected 2,802 valid samples from employers with a margin of error of plus or minus 1.85 percentage points.
