The objective of this research was to arrive at a list of top engineering institutes in India. The study had two major modules i.e. Perceptual Rating Survey & Factual Survey.

In the first module, a strucutred Questionnaire was administered to selected respondents to arrive at a ranking & rating of engineering colleges in India. The initial list had over 800 Engineering colleges, though each respondent was asked to give ratings for only those colleges that he/she was aware, considering them as best colleges at national and their zonal levelof and a maximum of 20 colleges to avoid investigation fatigue to ensure quality data.

A sample survey of 1500 was conducted in select cities – Class A (Delhi-NCR, Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata, Bangalore, Hyderabad and Ahmedabad) and Class B (Chandigarh, Pune, Indore, Jaipur, Lucknow, Bhubaneswar and Ranchi).

A geographical spread of the sample was ensured by selecting multiple starting points spread across the city.

There were two main respondent categories who were interviewed to evaluate an engineering institute, those who had the experience of such Institutes (Experiential) and those who were searching, aspiring for engineering and evaluating these colleges/ universities (Perceptual). The respondent categories included:

Experiential

• Faculties of Engineering College
• Alumnus Engineering Colleges
• HR Consultants who hire from Engineering colleges

Perceptual

• Students aspiring to take admission in an engineering college
• Parents of students aspiring for admission in an engineering college

An extensive 5 week field work was conducted beginning the 1st week of April 2015

MODULE 1

SHORTLISTING OF ELIGIBLE ENGINEERING COLLEGES
The module 1 was a secondary research module. A comprehensive list of engineering institutes was generated with the help of internet, magazines and other publications. The various sources used for generation of engineering college list included:

• AICTE/ AIU/ UGC approved list of colleges/ universities
• List of colleges/ universities from previous surveys
• A discussion with industry experts to add/ delete any institute to ensure we have a comprehensive list

In addition, other criteria for short listing was applied

• Colleges/institutes that offer at least undergraduate courses

MODULE 2

PERCEPTUAL SURVEY
A perception questionnaire was administered to respondents. The same also checked for awareness scores. Respondents were allowed to respond for those engineering institute only which were known to them.

Respondents were provided a list of parameters to evaluate the engineering institute & rate on a scale of 1-10 where 1 was poor & 10 was excellent. The list of parameters to be covered in the survey was arrived at based on past surveys as well as discussions with experts from the engineering fraternity – faculty, HR, etc.

The following key parameters were covered in Perceptual Rating

• Pedagogy
• Faculty
• Course Curriculum
• Infrastructure
• Industry Interaction
• Value for Money
• Placement
• Global Exposure
• Brand Value

As mentioned above 6 different stakeholders were taken into consideration for the national perceptual rating survey viz. Faculties, HR Executives, Alumnus, Parents of aspiring students, Students aspiring for an Engineering course.

The questionnaire was so designed that both experiential & perceptual target respondents were exposed to the same parameters – this ensured that the scores of different stakeholders could be correlated and collated to arrive at a single final score.

MODULE 3

FACTUAL DATA COLLECTION
More than 800 engineering colleges were sent the factual data questionnaire and then rigorously followed up telephonically and personal visits.

The factual data sheet was focused on the following information areas:

• General information of the college: Establishment, College type, Affiliation etc.
• Courses offered & number of seats
• Selection criteria
• Infrastructure
• Faculty
• Intellectual capital
• Industry interface
• Placement
• Potential to network
• Exchange programs & global exposure
• Alumni chapter – National & International

ANALYSIS

FINAL RANKING OF ENGINEERING COLLEGE
A robust approach was followed to arrive at the final rankings. The step by step process is given below:

• Perceptual Score
  • Ratings on various parameters for each college
  • Calculating importance of various parameters to arrive at weights for each parameter – we used a regression model to arrive at the importance of various parameters
  • Calculation of raw scores and weighted scores for each parameter
  • Calculation of overall score for each college using importance weightages.
• Factual Score
  • The information collected corresponded to similar parameters as in the perceptual survey
  • A detailed scoring system was developed for each parameter
  • After assigning scores to each parameter, raw scores were calculated
  • The raw scores were weighted by their importance to arrive at weighted scores
  • The final college score was calculated as in the perception survey
• The final score for an engineering institute was an average of Perception Score and Factual Score - equal weightage was given to both

Some caveats/assumptions :

• Only those institutes for which we received more than 30 responses, were included in the ranking
• Best efforts were made to reach every institute; however any institute that did not send complete “Fact-Sheet” within the allotted time was assigned an average Factual score for calculating their overall ranking
• Any institute which got established after the year 2009 was not considered for overall ranking; however they were considered within category “emerging engineering colleges”
• Any institute which expressly stated that it did not wish to participate in the survey was excluded from the survey

Note : Present survey has been conducted by an independent Research Agency named i3 Research Consultants using stated methodology for arriving at given rankings.
