The ranks of the top engineering colleges are out again. This time this is on the basis of a study conducted by Careers and published on Yahoo. While most of the rankings appear genuine, this list is very crucial for all the engineers wanna-be-s who are scouring for a college where they can kick start their professional career as an engineer. While as always the ranks in the top are heavily dominated by government colleges and institutes like the IITs, Jadavpur University, IT-BHU, the BITs and the NITs, the top-50 listing is a roll call of excellence India’s top 50 engineering institutions in 2011.
A balanced scorecard methodology was used to cluster the top ranked institutes (colleges and universities) after checking the last five year rankings of about 241 colleges and normalizing heir ranks, by assigning differential weights to subjective and objective ranking criteria, as is the standard in such studies. Such a process has been used to develop clusters of institutions which have similar performance against those criteria.
So before jumping into where you may be targeting, while joining up for your graduate course in engineering, do check out this list. For where you pass out from not only affects how well you learn your discipline, but also the kind of career track you can expect after passing out of the hallowed portals of your Alma Mater.
