Top Engineering Colleges in India - 2012

The list of top engineering colleges in India is based on latest survey by Outlook magazine.

The process of ranking India’s best engineering institutes started with extensive secondary research to establish the criteria for selecting the master list of colleges. Only institutes with government accreditation or affiliation and with at least 3 passed-out batches were considered. Then, detailed questionnaires were sent to many engineering colleges in India. The questionnaires measured colleges on 5 key parameters. An expert panel with reasonable experience in the field of engineering was consulted to decide the parameters and sub-parameters for ranking and their importance.

In a separate survey conducted among students, faculty and recruiters/professionals in Delhi, Mumbai, Calcutta, Chennai, Bangalore, Lucknow, Pune, Hyderabad, Kota, Bhubaneswar, Patna and Ahmedabad, field researchers visited several colleges to conduct questionnaire-based interviews among senior faculty members and final-year students of engineering. Recruiters/professionals were also interviewed. Final scores were calculated by adding perceptual and objective scores.

These rankings have been obtained by judging colleges on several parameters including:

• Reputation
• Selection process
• Academic Excellence
• Placements
• Personality development & Industry interface
• Infrastructural facilities

Though it might be the possible that a few eligible institutes are missing from this list due to the factors and criterion behind ranking, the list gives a fair idea while choosing a college.
