As many as 39 engineering colleges have got the top AAAAA rating – standing for “exceptional” – in this year’s rating. 75 colleges have an AAAA+ rating and 131 have AAAA.
For its 2023 evaluation, Careers360 has continued its practice of rating engineering colleges and ranking architecture ones. However, this year, design institutions were rated, not ranked. The reason for this was the large number of discrepancies and gaps we found in the data on design schools. Instead, we decided to rate them based on the average overall score of the previous year’s rankings so that aspirants can pick a design school on the basis of a ratings cluster.
Evaluating the data of these institutions was a daunting task. The undergraduate engineering programme (BE or B.Tech) includes a wide range of specialised branches; the architecture one is limited to just a few branches; in comparison, the design domain is vast, involving a dizzying range of specialisations across sectors.
We have also listed the top 20 institutions in design at the undergraduate level. The courses were shortlisted based on popularity and are the most-opted-for programmes in the particular institutes.
Ranking and rating
We rated around 1,200 engineering institutions, ranked the 50 best architecture colleges and rated close to 40 design institutes. The ranking and rating process provides a quantifiable measure of where to position a college. It is an outcome of student preferences, IPR output, and quality education, amongst others. Although we have rated all the shortlisted colleges, we are publishing the lists of only those institutes that show promise and are rated AA+ and above. The overall objective of the rankings is to help the student choose wisely.
