To inspire, aid and enable class XII students to select and aim for most suitable undergrad colleges, since 2018 EducationWorld has been rating India’s Top 500 Arts, Science and Commerce, and Engineering colleges on several critical parameters of education excellence and ranking them inter se. In addition for the past nine years, we have also been ranking the country’s Top 300 universities and 100 private B-schools. The prime objective of this elaborate exercise which involves field interviews spread over three months with more than 4,000 informed sample respondents (faculty and final year students) is to aid and assist top-ranked school-leavers to choose the most aptitudinally suitable higher learning institutions for continuing their education.
