NOT EVERYONE can get aseat at the IIT’s. But whywould you need one when youhave institutions (private andpublic) in your own backyardthat can make you sit up and

take notice.The first Mail Today-Indus Learning Engineer-

ing and Technology Institutes Ranking conductedamong engineering and technology institutes (private and government) in Delhi-NCR reaffirmsthis faith.

Galgotias University’s engineering college hasemerged as the top engineering institution in theprivate sector, while Delhi Technological Univer-sity(DTU), Rohni, leads pecking order in the com-bined rankings, as per the survey.

The other toppers in the private sector are AmityUniversity, Noida; Ajay Kumar Garg EngineeringCollege, Ghaziabad; Krishna Institute of Engineering and Technology, Ghaziabad;Maharaja Agrasen Institute of Technology, Delhi;SRM Institute of Management and Technology,Ghaziabad and Maharaja Surajmal Institute ofTechnology, Delhi.

T HE SURVEY based on fact-files andquestionnaires, evaluated the participating institutes extensivelyon various parameters such assalary package offered to graduates,number of companies visiting for

campus interviews, intellectual capital, network-ing opportunities, infrastructure, industry inter-action, curriculum, international exposure, totalnumber of Ph.D. holders, faculty student ratio,awards and recognition won by faculty membersand male and female ratio on the campus beforeassigning scores to individual institutes. All theparticipating institutions were also required tosubmit proof of their claimsbefore being considered for the final rankings.

The survey notes that some ofthe private engineering and tech-nology institutes such as Galgo-tias College of Engineering andTechnology (Galgotias Univer-sity), Amity School of Engineer-ing and Technology (Amity Uni-versity), Ajay Kumar GargEngineering College, Krishna

Institute of Engineering andTechnology and MaharajaAgrasen Institute of Technology,which are relatively youngerinstitutes have got their acttogether and are giving stiff com-petition to already establishedgovernment colleges like theDelhi College of Engineering nowDTU and Faculty of Engineeringand Technology, Jamia Millia

Islamia, Delhi.“Galgotias College for Engi-

neering and Technology,for instance hasscored the maxi-mum on theparameter ofintellectualcapital and isjust a pointbehind DTU

on the parameter of quality offaculty,” said Divesh Mehta, CEO

MAIL TODAY Special Initiative 19

two part survey conducted overfive weeks from June to July.However, unlike the final round,the preliminary phase of the sur-vey, based on the perception ofstudents, faculty members,alumni and human resourcemanagers, also evaluated a totalof 74 engineering and technologyinstitutions in Delhi NCR alongwith institutions from Meerut,

Lucknow, Kanpur, Allahabad,Varanasi and Agra in UttarPradesh. A total of 400 respon-dents comprising students, par-ents, HR experts and faculty members took part in the perception study.

“We followed a 360 degreeapproach to the survey by look-ing at both hard facts as well asmarket perceptions,” said

Mehta. “Perception of the mar-ket is never far away from an institute’s performance,” he said. “The survey limited theweightage of perceptual data toas much as 40 per cent. Theremaining 60 per cent was con-tributed by information provided by the institutes in thefact sheets provided to them,”said Mehta.
