Every year during June, temperatures keep rising not only due to heat but also due to best Universities and college surveys / rankings released by four decades old India Today magazine whose circulation and readership run into millions.

Over the years, the India Today Group’s annual Best Universities survey has emerged as the most authoritative commentary on higher education in the country and according to Aroon Purie Editor India Today “Our rankings have become the benchmark for academic standards in India".

The Best Universities Survey conducted by leading market research group Nielsen, generated a list of 500 universities and put 600 experts across the country to rank the universities by distributing 100 points across various parameters. The expert opinions determined the perceptual rank of the university. The factual rank was generated by aggregating the actual data on various parameters provided by the universities. By giving 50 percent weight to the perceptual rank and factual rank, the final rankings were arrived and the overall score was indexed to 100.
