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

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.
