Business Ranking Methodology
A Comprehensive Framework for Evaluating Business Institutions
Back to Business RankingsResearch Methodology: Objective and Methodology of Business Ranking Survey
The core aim of our research was to discern and establish a ranking of the Business Institutes/College. Our comprehensive methodology was meticulously designed to evaluate, assess, and rank these institutes thoroughly. We concentrated on three pivotal dimensions:Resources, Effort, and Outcomes. This triad allowed us to encapsulate a 360-degree perspective, ensuring a balanced and in-depth analysis of each institute's capabilities, endeavors, and results. Our approach guarantees a holistic view, reflecting the true standing of Business Institutes in India.
The study had two key modules:
- 1. Institutional Assessment Survey
- 2. Feedback Assessment Survey
Three Stage Research Module
Our comprehensive methodology follows a structured three-phase approach to ensure accuracy, transparency, and reliability.
Desk Research & Institution Identification
To create an exhaustive list of Business Institutes, we employed a multifaceted approach. Our initial database was informed by existing surveys, which provided a foundational list of institutes and universities.
We then expanded this list by leveraging various online resources, including educational websites and digital publications. To enhance the comprehensiveness of our list, we engaged with industry experts, whose insights helped to further refine and augment our compilation.
This meticulous process ensured that our list was thorough and representative of the Business educational landscape.
Factual Data Collection
Systematic questionnaire-based data gathering across:
- Academic Excellence: Faculty qualifications, student-teacher ratio, research output
- Infrastructure: Labs, libraries, sports facilities, campus amenities
- Placements: Recruitment statistics, average packages, top recruiters
- Industry Connect: Internships, collaborations, guest lectures
- Innovation: Patents, publications, incubation centers
Perceptual Survey
Feedback Survey Parameters and Scope
Our Feedback Survey was designed as a perception analysis among various target groups. It encompassed key parameters to gauge the holistic quality of educational institutions:
- Academic Excellence
- Faculty Competence
- Infrastructure Quality
- Industry Interaction
- Placement Success
- Research Capability
- Personality Development Programs
- Overall Brand Value
ANALYSIS & FINAL RANKING
Methodology for Final Rankings Determination.
Final Ranking & Categorization
To determine the final rankings, we employed a robust and systematic approach, underpinned by rigorous statistical analysis:
- Feedback Assessment Score:: We rated key parameters for each college and used a regression model to calculate the importance of these parameters, which informed the weights assigned to each. This allowed us to compute raw and weighted scores for each parameter, leading to an overall score for each college based on these important weightages.
The Feedback Assessment Scores were then amalgamated, resulting in a total score from which the final ranks were deducted.
This meticulous process ensured that our rankings are reflective of comprehensive and objective evaluations.
Data Verification & Quality Assurance
Ensuring accuracy, reliability, and integrity in our ranking process
Multiple Source Verification
All data points are cross-verified through multiple independent sources including official records, stakeholder interviews, and third-party databases.
Documentary Evidence
Institutions are required to submit supporting documents for all factual claims, including accreditation certificates, placement reports, and research publications.
Expert Panel Review
An independent panel of academic and industry experts reviews the methodology, data collection process, and final rankings for objectivity.
Transparency & Ethical Standards
Our commitment to maintaining the highest standards of transparency and ethics in ranking.
No Commercial Influence
Rankings are completely independent and free from any commercial bias or institutional payments.
Public Methodology
Complete methodology documentation is publicly available for scrutiny and feedback.
Institution Feedback
Institutions can review their data and provide corrections before final publication.
Annual Review
Methodology is reviewed and updated annually based on stakeholder feedback and evolving educational standards.
Some Caveats/Assumptions
In the spirit of transparency, we acknowledge the following limitations of our ranking methodology:
- The above ranking is based on feedback assessments from various institutes/colleges to arrive at the final scores.
- If the GAP between institute is found low, both the Institute are awarded the same rank.
The results of this ranking should not be used as the sole source of information for future deliberations. The information provided in this ranking should be considered in conjunction with other available information about the institute/college. The quality of institutes/colleges that are not included in the rankings is not disputed.
