HOW WE DID IT
 The
Careergraph-Mode all-India survey of the best arts, science and commerce undergraduate
degree colleges was conducted in three stages. For maximum objectivity, the evaluators
chosen were all professors of postgraduate colleges because they are best-placed
to judge students of these institutes. In Stage I, a qualitative exploratory study
was undertaken among 144 evaluators.
They were drawn from the cities of Delhi, Mumbai, Calcutta, Chennai and Bangalore
and asked to identify the parameters for evaluating these colleges.
The parameters included: infrastructure, course content, faculty, teaching
method, interaction with industry, social consciousness, performance, and reputation.
In Stage II, 50 top institutes were shortlisted on the basis of feedback from
the respondents.
In Stage III, the best institutes were rated on the basis of the parameters
by the evaluators. To arrive at a national ranking of the undergraduate colleges,
all four zones were given equal weightage.
Scoring: Any college to be selected in the top 10 by an evaluator received
a fixed score (55). Thereafter, for each parameter, the college ranked 1 by an
evaluator received a score of 5, if ranked 2 it received 4, and so on. The total
of these scores was aggregated across all 144 evaluators and an average score
arrived at for each college.
There were times when an institute scored higher on parameters but fell back on
the overall rankings.
