To compile the 2022-23 EW league tables of India’s best private and government autonomous (as well as Top 100 non-autonomous) colleges, field representatives of the well-known Delhi-based market research and opinion polls company Centre for Forecasting & Research Pvt. Ltd (C fore) interviewed 4,067 sample respondents comprising 1,789 college/university faculty and 2,278 final year college students. They persuaded the respondents to rate sufficiently well-known colleges on six parameters of tertiary education excellence, viz, competence of faculty, faculty welfare and development, curriculum and pedagogy (including digital readiness), industry placement record, infrastructure, and quality of leadership/governance. Low-profile institutions rated by less than 25 respondents are not ranked. Read the cover story here
