Among them, "Communication and Information System" ranked No.1. Again, in the 2002 national assessment, two BUPT first-grade subjects-"Electronic Science and Technology" and "Information and Communication Engineering" ranked second and third.

BUPT has one ministry-level Engineering Center under the leadership of the Ministry of Education-"Research Center of Information Network Engineering", and one National University Science Park-"Information Valley".

And BUPT is one of eight universities that took part in the initiation construction of "China Education and Research Network" (CERNET) in 1994. It also takes part in the demonstrating project of the CERNET2, a model project of the next-generation Internet (NGI), which adopts the pure Ipv6 protocol.

BUPT possesses all the top-end experimental instruments necessary for Information and Communication Sciences, with one of the highest instrument-value to student ratios among all of China’s higher educational institutions. And BUPT’s library houses 970,000 books of 152,000 kinds, notably providing first-class modern data retrieval and information inquiry services.
