RESEARCH METHODOLOGY The objective of this research was to arrive at a list of top engineering institutes in India. The study had two major modules: Perceptual rating survey and Factual survey. In the first module, based on convenience sampling, a structured questionnaire was administered to selected respondents to arrive at a ranking and rating of engineering colleges in India. The initial list had over 600 engineering colleges, though each respondent was asked to give ratings for only those colleges that he/she was aware of and a maximum of 20 colleges to avoid investigation fatigue to ensure quality data. A sample survey of 1,500 was conducted in select cities of Class-A (Delhi-NCR, Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata, Bangalore, Hyderabad and Ahmedabad) and Class-B (Chandigarh, Pune, Indore, Jaipur, Lucknow, Bhubaneswar and Ranchi). A geographical spread of the sample was ensured by multiple starting points spread across the city. There were two main respondent categories who were interviewed to evaluate an engineering institute, those who had the experience of such institutes (Experiential) and those who were searching, aspiring for engineering and evaluating these school (Perception). The respondent categories included: EXPERIENTIAL Engineering college faculty HR consultants who hire from engineering colleges Alumni of an engineering college PERCEPTUAL Students aspiring to take admission in an engineering college Parents of students aspiring for admission in an engineering college An extensive five-week fieldwork was conducted beginning the first week of May 2014 Engineering Institute Survey: Rank 1-50 RANK INSTITUTE/ ENGINEERING Engineering Institute Survey: Rank 50-100 51 Jiwaji University - Gwalior 52 NIT Warangal 53 Rizvi College of Engineering, Bandra - Mumbai 54 Sardar Vallabhbhai National Institute of Technology (SVNIT) - Surat 55 NIT Jalandhar 56 IIT Hyderabad 57 Indian School of Mines - Dhanbad 58 Vishwakarma Government Engineering College, Ahmedabad 59 ITM University, Gurgaon 60 BIT Sindri 61 Vasavi College of Engineering - Hyderabad 62 Government Engineering College, Surat 63 Indian Institute of Information Technology (IIIT) - Allahabad 64 Bharati Vidyapeeth, Pune 65 Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University (JNTU) - Kakinada 66 Jadavpur University, Faculty of Engg & Tech - Calcutta 67 Bangalore Institute of Technology - Bangalore 68 NIT Kozhikode 69 Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University (JNTU) - Anantpur 70 S.J.

A VARSITY PAR EXCELLENCE

Engineering is an evolving disciplinethat reinvents itself to explore andcreate solutions to new problems.

Fields such as molecular biotechnologyand nanoscale science that were non-ex-istent in the past are now expected to pro-duce dramatic breakthroughs. Progress-ing engineering is driven by the applica-tion of varied fields of human under-standing and subject to episodes of rapidenlightenment brought about by advancesin technology.

In the traditional approach to teaching,the professor lectures and assigns read-ings and well-defined convergent single-discipline problems, and the students lis-ten, take down notes and solve problemsindividually. However, alternative peda-gogical techniques have repeatedly beenshown to be more effective and much morelikely to achieve the objectives. Amongthese techniques are cooperative (team-based) learning, inductive (discovery)learning, the assignment of open-endedquestions, multi-disciplinary problemsand problem formulation exercises.

At Rawals, while educating students,care is taken of maintaining appropriatebalance between ‘fundamentals’ and ‘ap-plications’. A lot of thinking goes into de-ciding whether the flow within a courseor curriculum should generally proceed

from fundamentals to applications or vice-versa. Special care is taken to integrateclass material across courses and disci-plines, so that engineering students be-come accustomed to thinking along in-terdisciplinary lines in their approach toproblem solving. The institute innovateson how “clusters of concepts” be presentedsystematically throughout the teachingsession. Emphasis is laid on in-class ac-tivities, homework assignments, labora-tory exercise. The testing and grading poli-cies and procedures adopted by the insti-tute have been found most effective at increasing knowledge and critical studiesand at promoting and reinforcing positiveprofessional attitude. A balance is main-tained between teacher and student-cen-tered instructions; between cooperativeand individual learning; between activeexperimentation and reflective observa-tion.

Maharashtra Academy ofEngineering and Educa-

tional Research’s (MAEER’s)Maharastra Institute of Tech-nolog (MIT), Pune was estab-lished in 1983 under the guid-ance of Prof. (Dr.) V.D. Karad,who is the founder and execu-tive-president of MAEERPune, India. The institute’s vi-sion is to excel in the field ofeducation and research. It nowencompasses 74 institutes,65,000-plus students in variouscolleges and schools in thefields of engineering, man-agement, pharmacy, medicine,and general education. MITGroup of Institutions havebeen founded by teachers whofirmly believe that value-basedquality education is the bestfoundation for success in life.With this in mind, at MITGroup of Institutions, focus islaid on excellent infrastructureand faculty for imparting high-est quality of holistic educa-tion and emphasize on incul-cating the right values throughdiscipline and spiritual edu-cation. From academics tosports and from spiritual de-velopment to personality de-velopment, every aspect is im-portant in the institutions andattention is paid to each ofthese facets of education. MITGroup of Institutions has con-tinuously strived to provide thefinest environment for learn-ing, research, innovation andcharacter building.

At MIT, students are en-

couraged to achieve full po-tential in careers as engineersand as leaders with a global out-look. MIT institutes are cater-ing to the engineering facultyin the field of Mechanical, Elec-tronics & Telecom, Computer,Information Technology, Civiland Petroleum Engineering.MIT has been entrusted by AsiaBroadcasting Association andDoordarshan to host ROBO-CON India Tech-fest since adecade. Besides, MIT providesManagement, Naval Educa-tion, Design courses and Mu-sical courses.

In addition, MIT has state-of-the-art Medicine, Dental,Pharmacy, Art, Science, Com-merce and Nursing disciplines.With winning combination ofworld class teaching facultyand high quality campus fa-cilities, it provides value-basedKG to PG education across mul-tiple disciplines, to nurture cit-izens of tomorrow. Apart fromquality education, MIT Groupof Institutions contributes tothe society in the form of pres-tigious programs like BharatAsmita Awards, World PeaceCentre Alandi, Bharatiya Char-ta Sansad, among others.

In the last 30 years, MITGroup of Institutions has pro-gressed well ahead and willcontinue to do so in the future.There is no doubt that MIT stu-dents are attaining high levelsof educational and professionalachievements with the blendof spirituality.

The Anjuman-i-Islam'sM.H. Saboo Siddik Collegeof Engineering is the ulti-

mate destination to pursue a degreeof engineering for various reasons.One of them its privilege of beingin one of the most enviable loca-tions of the Mumbai city. It has alarge campus with good infra-structure and highly qualified andexperienced professors to help andguide students to pursue educationwith confidence. The college haslaced itself with all the modernamenities to facilitate learning onthe campus. Many of its courses ac-credited by the National Board ofaccreditation (NBA), the collegehas the state-of-the-art classrooms,laboratories, a well-stocked libraryas well as a fully-functional gym-nasium on the campus. Even the im-portant amenities such as canteen,students’ common room, etc. arealso above the mark. Because ofsuch a congenial and conducive en-vironment, the students of the col-lege have been steadily making bigachievements on and off the cam-pus in various national and globalcompetitions.

The professors and the support-ing staff of the college are highly

qualified and experienced and helpout students generously enablingthem to do their best in learning inclassrooms, laboratories, libraryand workshops, which turns out tobe good in their university resultsand other co-curricular and extra-curricular activities. Once on thecampus, students find a unique am-bience to pursue their long cher-ished dream to study the subject oftheir choice and show their best per-formance in their subject as well asin other co-curricular and extra-curricular activities. Thus, It wouldindeed be delight and privilege forany student to opt for Anjuman-i-Islam's M. H. Saboo Siddik Col-lege of Engineering to study anengineering course of their choice.It is not surprising that many stu-

dents of this college have made amark not only in their academicsin the university results, but theyhave also come out with flyingcolours in many competitions at thenational and international levels.

With top ranks in the universityresults and several other topachievements in co-curricular andextra-curricular activities, the Sa-boo Siddik students have made amark of distinction even at the glob-al level. One of them being the topranks achieved by the students ina global competition in Micro De-sign held at Fortworth, Texas, USArecently.

HIGHLY EXPERIENCED ANDWELL-READ FACULTY:

It is often said that marvelous concretestructures and well trimmed grass lawns donot make an institute, it is the students andteachers who invoke life into those well main-tained architectural marvels.

SAL’s strongest differentiator is its groupof dedicated faculty members who have yearsof commendable experience. With diverseacademic and professional backgrounds, allin one place, the teachers are committed tomaintaining their high standards of teach-ing, mentoring and consulting.

In this world of change, life is moving ata fast pace and numerous things tend to be-come obsolete and irrelevant. Even the syl-labus faces this problem! To counter this un-stoppable hazard, many of the faculty mem-bers have actively contributed to curriculumdesign, which ensures that the engineeringcourseware is always kept updated and rel-evant.

ANALYSIS: FINAL RANKING OF ENGINEERING COLLEGE

A robust approach was followed to arrive at the final rankings. The step-by-step process is given below:

PERCEPTUAL SCORE> Ratings on various parameters for each college> Calculating importance of various parameters to arrive at weights for

each parameter – a regression model was used to arrive at the importanceof various parameters

> Calculation of raw scores and weighted scores for each parameter> Calculation of overall score for each college using importance weightages

FACTUAL SCORE> The information collected corresponded to similar parameters as in the

perceptual survey> A detailed scoring system was developed for each parameter> After assigning scores to each parameter, raw scores were calculated> The raw scores were weighted by their importance to arrive at weighted

scores> The final college score was calculated as in the perception survey● The final score for an engineering institute was an average of Perception

Score and Factual Score - equal weight age was given to both

Some caveats/ assumptions:● Only those colleges for whom we received more than 30 responses, were

included in the ranking● Finally a total of 204 colleges fulfilled that criteria● Further a few colleges refused to participate in the survey – such colleges

were removed from the list● Some of the colleges could not provide the factual data completely for

their colleges> For all such gaps, an average score was assigned to the college concernedGiven that there is a fair variation in various colleges, Q1, Q2and Q3 as wellas top 10 percentile were calculated to apply averages to various colleges

A perception questionnaire was administered torespondents. The same also checked for awareness scores.Respondents were allowed to respond for those engineeringinstitute only which were known to them.

Respondents were provided a list of parameters to evaluatethe engineering institute and rate on a scale of 1-10 where 1was poor and 10 was excellent. The list of parameters to becovered in the survey was arrived at based on past surveys aswell as discussions with experts from the engineeringfraternity – faculty, HR, among others.

As mentioned above, five different stakeholders were takeninto consideration for the national perceptual survey:Faculty, HR executives, alumni, parents of aspiring studentsand students aspiring for an engineering course.

The questionnaire was so designed that both experientialand perception target respondents were exposed to the sameparameters – this ensured that the scores of differentstakeholders could be correlated and collated to arrive at asingle final score.

DY Patil Engineering Institutes: Relying onfour Fs–Faculty,Facilities, Feedback andForesightedness

ENLIGHTENING MINDS,INSPIRING TECHNOLOGY

With its commitment and ded-ication, DY Patil Group hasearned the reputation of be-ing a provider of quality

education in areas of professional sig-nificance. Its engineering colleges inPune and Navi Mumbai are popularamong students for their faculty and fa-cilities, environment and culture.

While one is pleasantly surprised atthe lush green surroundings, equallyinspiring is the urban infrastructure.Equipped with the latest technology andfacilities, these institutes manage to re-tain the serenity of a holistic educa-tional experience conducive to academ-ic excellence and practical learning.

Speaking on the key features ofDY Patil Engineering institutes,Dr. Vijay D Patil, President, DY Patil University, Navi Mumbai, explains,“Most important is the state-of-the-arttechnology-solution for students. Stu-dents that are native to technology can-not be taught with traditional methods– and hence the use of interactivemethodologies is most important.”

Dr. Patil stresses on the need for an excellent faculty-students interaction.He adds, “While we are looking at the ad-vancement in technology as a facilita-tor, we are making sure that student-teacher interaction remains to the opti-mum, higher the interaction better thelearning and guidance.”

He also emphasises that studentsshould do their ground work and re-search in choosing the right institutionprior to seeking admission. “Studentsneed to study the faculty, the physical en-vironment where they would be taught,placement records, feedback from alum-nus of various institutions, facilities forpersonality development beyond educa-tion, sports facility and more. They haveto look at an institution in totality interms of what it offers to its students.”

He added that in spite of the adventof a number of new career options, en-

gineering would always be among pre-ferred choice. “There is immense growthin the country’s infrastructure – and itmeans large number of bridges, roads,rails and more. Manufacturing sectortoo is poised to grow rapidly. Till the timethere is growth in the nation, tradition-al branches of engineering would neverrun out of fashion. In addition, someniche areas too are getting developed totake care of specialised needs and in-terests.”

A LOOK AT DY PATIL ENGINEERING INSTITUTES:

Dr. DY PATIL COLLEGE OF ENGI-NEERING, which was established in2009, offers Bachelors programs in Com-puter Technology, Electronics andTelecommunication, Information Tech-nology and Mechanical Engineering aswell as Masters programs in ME E &TC(VLSI & Embedded System) and MEComputer.

Dr.DY PATIL INSTITUTE OF EN-GINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY of-fers Degree course in in Civil Engineer-ing, Computer Engineering, Informa-tion Technology and Mechanical Engi-neering and Masters programs in ME

Mechanical (Mechanical Design) and MECivil (Construction Management).

Dr.DY PATIL SCHOOL OF ENGI-NEERING ACADEMY offers Degreecourse in Civil Engineering, ComputerEngineering, Automobile Engineering,E&TC Engineering and Mechanical En-gineering and Masters programs in MEMechanical (Heat Power Engineering)and ME Electronics (Signal Processing).

All these three institutes located inTalegaon Pune campus are affiliated tothe University of Pune. The institutesfocus on keeping up with the changingtrends, while at the same time stayingin step with technology.

Standing tall in the sprawling DY PatilVidyapeeth Campus since the last 30years, the Ramrao Adik Institute ofTechnology, affiliated to the Univer-sity of Mumbai, is one of the oldest andfinest institutes in Navi Mumbai. Expe-rienced teachers, amicable environment,state-of-the-art infrastructure and bestof the amenities make it one of thefavoured colleges among engineering as-pirants. Among the courses that the col-lege offers are Electronics, Computer, In-strumentation, Information Technologyand Electronics and Telecommunication.

The college has counsellors and re-dressal cells to take care of student’s wor-ries and grievances. In addition, it hasan effective feedback mechanism inplace. Scholarship and tuition waver fa-cilities are also available for deservingcandidates.

An interesting and socially and envi-ronmentally relevant step taken by DY Patil Engineering students is gener-ating biogas from the bio-waste that isgenerated in its canteen kitchens. Thisbiogas powers entire street-light in NaviMumbai facility as well as there are ve-hicles that run on bio-gas. The entire ac-tivity was driven by the students.
