Colleges were ranked across 14 streams-arts, science, commerce, medical, dental, engineering, architecture, law, mass communication, hotel management, BBA, BCA, fashion and social work. India Today has partnered with the reputed Delhi-based market research agency Marketing and Development Research Associates (MDRA) to rank colleges across 14 streams.
The agency created 112 performance indicators in each stream. Intake Quality & Governance, Academic Excellence, Infrastructure & Living Experience, Personality & Leadership Development, and Career Progression & Placement were the five main factors that were used to group these variables.
They also tried to figure out how universities prepared for the pandemic. MDRA evaluated universities using current-year data in order to provide realistic, relevant, and accurate information. Between December 2020 and June 2021, the groundwork was completed.
