Todai is usually considered as the top research institution in Japan. In fact, the largest amount of investment has been spent for Todai in Grants in Aid for Scientific Research, which is the national grands for research institutions. Todai receives 40% more than the University with 2nd largest grants and 90% more than the University with 3rd largest grants.[33]

This massive financial supports from the Japanese government directly affects Todai's research outcomes. According to Thomson Reuters, Todai is the best research university in Japan.[3] Its research excellence is especially distinctive in Physics(1st in Japan, 2nd in the world), Biology & Biochemistry (1st in Japan, 3rd in the world), Pharmacology & Toxicology (1st in Japan, 5th in the world), Materials Science (3rd in Japan, 19th in the world), Chemistry (2nd in Japan, 5th in the world), and Immunology (2nd in Japan, 20th in the world).[34]

In another ranking, Nikkei Shimbun　on 2004/2/16 surveyed about the research standards in Engineering studies based on Thomson Reuters, Grants in Aid for Scientific Research and questionnaires to heads of 93 leading Japanese Research Centers, and Todai was placed 4th (research planning ability 3rd/informative ability of research outcome 10th/ability of business-academia collaboration 3rd) in this ranking.[35]

Weekly Diamond also reported that Todai has the 3rd highest research standard in Japan in terms of research fundings per researchers in COE Program.[36] In the same article, it's also ranked 21st in terms of the quality of education by GP funds per student.

Todai also has an outstanding research standard in Social Science & Humanities. Repec in Jan 2011 ranked Todai's Economic department as Japan's best economic research university.[37] And it is the only Japanese university within world top 100.[19] Todai has provided 9 presidents of Japanese Economic Association in its 42-year history, and it is the largest number.[38]

Asahi Shimbun summarized the amount of academic papers in Japanese major legal journals by university, and Todai was ranked top during 2005-2009.[15]

Todai alumni are distinctively successful in Japanese industries such as shown below.

According to the Weekly Economist's 2010 rankings, graduates from Todai have the 12th best employment rate in 400 major companies in Japan.[41] However, this lower ranking position is because of the large number of alumni who become government bureaucrats, which is more than double of alumni from any other universities.[42] In fact, alumni of Todai's average salary is the best in Japan, according to the PRESIDENT.[43]
