There’s littlechange at the top,and plenty of it atthe bottom. Thistime, we presentobjective analysesfor seven streams.

ARINDAM MUKHERJEE

midst a seemingly endless flow of gloomy news—the sagging GDP growth numbers and growing inflation, rising petrol prices which touches

everyone from the high and mighty to the common man, and the Eurozone crisis that threatens to further upset India’s economic balance—news aboutIndia’s technical education sector remained the season’s bestseller. Of course, for all the wrong reasons. The brainwave that struck Union minister forhuman resource development Kapil Sibal—to braid the entrance examinations to all the engineering colleges in the country into a single examination—hasnot met with the kind of reaction he would have anticipated. The Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) are now united in opposition to the proposal—anddivided in deciding to hold their own separate examinations from next year.

Even though confusion persists over how the engineering entrance examinations will look next year and how students should approach it, and how theeconomy will perform, or, for that matter, which way the Eurozone crisis will head and so, how Indian companies would react in the college placementseason, the serpentine lines at India’s top professional colleges continue to get longer, with more inquisitive faces coming into the fray. Outlook’s rankingof India’s top professional colleges (in partnership with MDRA) comes out at a time when even more comprehensive analysis and information is requiredabout colleges that will shape the future of millions of young Indians.

The ranking, in its seventh edition, springs few surprises. While there is little change in the top 15-20 rankings, with the IITsfiercely controlling their fiefdom (just like they are trying to hold on to their own entrance exam, the IIT-JEE), we have thisyear a more robust universe of India’s best engineering colleges, with the best in class being part of our survey. There isperceivable improvement at the bottom of the table, even though many small colleges have not made it to India’s Top 75.This could be good news for the one million-plus students who seek to enter India’s colleges every year. On an average,the landscape of all the streams has not changed much, apart from the addition of some more leading names in theirrespective streams. Considering the quality of colleges, we expanded the rankings in the medical and law streams. Also,marching forward from last year’s six streams for which we did an objective analysis, this year, we present objectiveanalyses for seven streams, while two—fashion and media—continue to be pure perceptual rankings.

There’s a lot on offer in this issue: the Outlook team went across the country to demystify the engineering entranceexamination issue and gauge how it would impact different segments. With technology and the internet entering our lives more prominently, can educationbe far behind? We take a detailed look at how online education is shaping up in India. Yes, the future has arrived. With research and innovation startingearly at the college level, innovations are also happening actively at college backyards. We sampled some breakthrough products and technologiesIndia’s young scientists are about to present to the world. Also watch out for the detailed package on the biggest problem facing students today: stress.

Hopefully, by the time next year’s aspirants sit for examinations, everyone will be less stressed out—and a solution would have been found to theexamination issue. Till then, as always, choose wisely.

SURVEY

Selection process, placements, academic excellence, personality development and industry exposure, Infrastructure...OUTLOOK , MDRA

he process of ranking India’s best professional colleges began with extensive secondary research to establish the criteria for selecting the master

list of colleges. Only those with government accreditation or affiliation and with at least three passed-out batches were considered. Then, detailedquestionnaires were sent to over 1,400 colleges in nine streams: Engineering, Medicine, Dentistry, Social Work, Law, Hotel Management, FashionTechnology, Architecture and Mass Communication. The questionnaires, which were also put on the Outlook and MDRA websites, measured colleges onfive key parameters. A panel of experts with reasonable experience in their fields was consulted in 2010 to decide the parameters and sub-parametersfor ranking and their importance. The same parameters and weightages were followed this year. Repeated follow-ups were undertaken to get responsesfrom colleges.

In a separate perceptual survey conducted among students, faculty and recruiters/professionals in Delhi, Mumbai, Calcutta, Lucknow, Chennai,Bangalore, Hyderabad, Pune, Kota, Bhubaneswar, Patna and Ahmedabad, field researchers visited several institutes to conduct questionnaire-basedinterviews among 300 senior faculty members and 337 final-year students from different streams. Another 254 recruiters/professionals were alsointerviewed. Final scores were calculated by adding perceptual and objective scores.

Given the quantum and quality of responses, seven streams—Engg, Medicine, Dentistry, Social Work, Law, Architecture and Hotel Management—werefound fit for objective analysis and evaluated on a combination of objective and perceptual data (with equal weightage). Physical audits were done for 20per cent of the colleges by MDRA and Outlook. For the other two fields—Fashion Technology and Mass Comm—a fully perceptual survey was done.

The MDRA research team is led by Abhishek Agrawal (Project Director) and included Abnish Jha (Dy Research Manager) and Avanish Kumar (SrResearch Executive).

Disclosure: MDRA is associated with CMS Academy of Communication & Convergence Studies.
