When Tokyo Shoko Research, a private credit bureau, investigated the university from which the presidents of private companies nationwide came, it became clear that Nihon University was the top.All of the top ten are private universities with many graduates, and the University of Tokyo, which ranked 12th among national and public universities, occupies the top position.

 The survey extracted the university from which the representative was born from the corporate data of about 280 million companies owned by Tokyo Shoko Research (as of December 2015), and aggregated it by the current university name.

 According to the report, the number of top Japanese universities was 2, far behind the second place and below.It is one of the leading mammoth universities in Japan, and it seems that the overwhelming number of graduates had an effect. Keio University has 4,136 students in second place, and Waseda University has 2 students in third place.
Below, Meiji University is in 4th place, Chuo University is in 5th place, Hosei University is in 6th place, and 7 universities with headquarters in Tokyo are in the top ten.The remaining three schools were Kinki University, Doshisha University, and Kansai University, all of which had their headquarters in Kansai.

 Twenty-six national and public universities ranked in the top 100, with the top being the University of Tokyo with 26 students.The following was followed by Kyoto University, Hokkaido University, Osaka University, and Kyushu University.

 By prefecture, Nihon University ranked first in 20 prefectures, mainly in the Kanto and Tohoku regions.On the other hand, in Hokkaido, Hokuriku, Chugoku, and Shikoku, local national universities are at the top.

 The feature of this time is that famous national universities have all moved up, including the University of Tokyo from 15th to 12th, Kyoto University from 23rd to 21st, and Hokkaido University from 28th to 25th.Tokyo Shoko Research believes that "stability and solidity are emphasized in management, and an honor student type may be required."
