The 15th T-School annual survey gives ample insights into the tech education landscape in India and unravels key dynamics in terms of the skills the Tech Schools are creating for the IT industry and their standing in terms of academic excellence, placements, infrastructure et al. The survey is aimed in such a way that it determines the Top-Technology Schools (B.E, B.Tech or similar level graduate technical course) in the country and ranks them on a list of important parameters.
The first step followed was to reach out to a wide base of T-schools across the country formally by inviting them to participate in the Dataquest annual Top T-School survey. Upon confirmation to participate, a structured questionnaire was sent out to the designated SPOC based on the PACE framework. There were over 30 questions capturing inputs about the T-school with respect to Placement-Academics-Campus and Engagement. Adequate time was allocated for the institutes to send in their filled nominations. For any claim, a supporting proof was also sought. There were over 500 nominations received, which were scrutinized by our team on various parameters including completeness and correctness of information submitted. The submissions were independently verified through a random check process, with over 30% of the entries received put to scrutiny as per the market research code of ethics. The quantitative inputs received and verified were then analysed wherein the absolute data was normalised to relative data in order to compare the parameters across the participating institutions. For each of the above parameter segments a final score was achieve which was then factored with the pre-defined weights as per below, to arrive at the overall score of each participating T-school. The institutes were then ranked with the highest score across all parameters ranking at the top. The rankings were also arrived by category and region for the T-schools.
Institute Survey broadly covers Placements, Infrastructure, Academic Environment and Industry Interface.
The Opportunities beyond school and the skills needed for surviving in the Tech industry
Private Engineering colleges are playing a key role in empowering the IT sector. They are an important source of workforce to the IT industry – in India and globally. Some of the private engineering colleges fare better than many of IITs in India. Many of them give tough competition on parameters such as infrastructure, industry interface, faculty and job placements, etc. We bring to you the Top 10 Private T-schools in India which are playing a key role in India’s skill based computer education.
Private engineering colleges are an important source of workforce for the IT industry in India. A number of colleges are in constant competition with the top IITs and NITs in the country. The likes of BITS Pilani and Bannari Amman Institute of Technology, even are better than many of the IITs in India. Across the country, there are many private colleges that have developed campuses and infrastructure to provide the computer science education to their students. One of the trend which we have seen recently is of industry collaboration. The private T-schools are now working closely with the industry to prepare the industry-ready workforce.
While government colleges are supplying the necessary skill sets to students, the private engineering colleges are also playing a key role in empowering the IT sector. Although automation will take up a lot of jobs in future but it is believed that many jobs will still be there for skilled graduates who are equipped with right talent and skills.
