Architecture? MBA? Dentistry? Engineering? Fashion design? Hoteliering? Law? MassComm? Medicine? Outlook-ICARE has it all sorted out for you.
Which is the best college in India for humanities? Which institution is on top of the list for engineering courses? With hundreds of colleges across the country—both government-run and private—claiming to be the best among the best, it’s a tough job for both students and parents to choose the right institute. But worry not, folks! This is where the Outlook-ICARE Professional College Rankings 2020 comes into picture.
The Outlook-ICARE Professional College Rankings 2020 lists institutions across a large spectrum of 14-plus streams—architecture, arts, business administration, commerce, computer applications, dentistry, engineering, fashion design, hotel management, law, mass communications, medicine, sciences, and social work. Institutions have been assessed on their strengths in parameters such as academic and research excellence, industry interface and placements, infrastructure and facilities, governance and admissions, and diversity and outreach.
Keeping in view the significance of producing industry-ready candidates and providing students the right resources, labs, incubation centres etc, the highest weightage has been allocated to industry interface and placements along with infrastructure and facilities, followed by other factors. Institutions from across the country were invited to fill in a detailed questionnaire that went through a rigorous process of data validation and verification.
Comprehensive desk-based research ensured that all the data was vetted before taking into consideration for the next round of scoring. Wherever required, data was sourced from independent databases such as Scopus, Clarivate, Patent Offices etc. The task was not complete before thousands of data points were analysed, hundreds of emails exchanged and several hours were invested in calling up institutions and requesting them to upload all relevant data onto their web portal to ensure transparency, accuracy and data integrity, the three main pillars on which rests the Outlook-ICARE Professional College Rankings 2020.
