How We Ranked Them

We have ranked 250+ B Schools in the country based on year of establishment , infrastructure, placement, teaching pedagogy, faculty, foreign collaboration and research activities on a scale of AAAA to A, with AAAA being the highest rank on the scale. The public institutes have been ranked based on perception voting and the private institutes have been ranked based on analysis of available data. We have also listed promising institutes in some zones, which have the potential to be in the top league in future.

Ranking methodology
Public Institutes:

We chose the best public Institutes and Institutes of National Importance in a transparent and democratic manner through public Voting.

We followed two steps Process:

Step 1: A List of Top 65 Government –aided (Institutes including IIMs, IITs, NITs and others) was prepared.

Step 2: We eliminated 15 institutes that received lowest number of votes, from list of 65 shortlisted institutes.

Based on Number of votes received by these institutes, we have declared the Top 50 Public B Schools. The Voting Conducted on popular social networking sites got any amazing response of 12,626 unique votes. Among the voters there were 9,975 students and Alumni; 1,037 teachers and academics; 839 people representing coaching centres and 775 undergraduates.

Private Institutes: To gather maximum available information about any institute and ensure its credibility, we followed a three step approach:

Step 1: We analyzed the past years ranking conducted by various organization in the country. We filtered the list to eliminate colleges not ranked by any organization in the previous ranking. Further those institutes which featured only once in any of these ranking were eliminated.

Step 2: We visited official website of 2,000+ institutes and private universities to get information such as Year of Establishment , Infrastructure, Placement, Teaching Pedagogy, Faculty, Foreign Collaboration and Research Activities. For UGC / AICTE affiliated institute, we got most of the information from the mandatory disclosure in their official website.
However, the challenge was that most institutes did not have the updated disclosure on their website.
We also studied the student reviews in some of the education portals to get a better understanding about Institution we have ranked.

Step 3: We also asked B Schools across the country to send us the filled Questionnaire in a given format. Only 217 institutes reverted with filled questionnaire in a given deadline.Simultaneaosly, we were able to gather complete Information of 1,250 odd colleges, out of the List of 3,000+ colleges that we had targeted.
