This refers to the outlook survey of colleges. For those wondering,Yes! it was done with a random number generator. I was surprised to find IIIT-H in the government colleges list as it is not a government college. But particularly interesting was the score IIIT Hyderabad had in a category called "Pedagogic system". From what I could see the average score in this category was something around 130. IIIT -H managed a score of 13( Thirteen). The lowest score apart from IIIT-H in this category belonged to a certain Jabalpur engineering college(???) with a score of 80. Surely something has gone terribly wrong here on the part of outlook!
But my heart goes out to my IIIT brothers at Allahabad. I wonder what sins the college has committed for Outlook to suggest people go to NIT-Jaipur, Andhra Univ, Harcourt Butler and Coimbatore Insti of Tech before having a look at IIIT Allahabad. Surely, Outlook deserves a thunderous kick on it's rear end for this. I remember last year when IIIT-H was ranked just behind Harcourt butler I was laughing my ass off. I'm not sure people at IIIT-A would be that generous to outlook though!
There were some other weird scores. Outlook says IIIT-H has the second highest placements with 7.2 lpa and 100% placement. However we are ranked 7th in it's placement performance parameter. Self contradiction! Intellectual capital is another interesting thing. Among all the institutes raked ahead of IIIT-H only PEC and DCE supposedly have inferior Intellectual capital. If you tell me that places like NIT-S, ISM, NIT-Allahabad,NIT-Jaipur and Andhra Univ have better faculty and students then IIIT-H (here by students i mean the AIEEE ranks only:P) or for that matter IIIT-A, you can kiss my ass.
But the icing on the cake has to be the ranking parameters. Apparently 30% of the weightage goes to the opinion of aspirants! i.e. people from class 11 and 12. That has got to be the joke of the millennium. I couldn't stop laughing for a good 10 mins after I read this.
Vinod Mehta if you some day read this......Do you know how people in college campuses across India are laughing at you and your magazine? You make an ass out of yourselves every year. How how how do you manage to pull it off year after year?
And for the geniuses at Synovate, the company that did the rankings for outlook. I would safely assume that this would be that last survey you ever did. God knows whatever prompted you to come with out such BS. When you rank college A ahead of college B it means that in your opinion a student should join college A ahead of college B. Surely your rankings are not correct if admission trends are anything to go by. And whatever prompted you to go and get 11th/12th class students involved in judging colleges! Do you know how stupid that is?
Yet another ranking, yet more stupidity.
PS: Here is a link to last years ranking from outlook. Randomness re-visited :)

@Ydntn - the VIT guy who posted a comment in the last post on VIT.
ROFLMAO. Just wondering how can someone make fun of himself and his college. If you plug 1045 points in the combined list then your institute comes at rank 27th. VIT and HBTI kanpur has almost the same ranking. You're a punk. Atleast we thought that you could be in top 20. These rankings are shit and everyone knows it. They released a separate list for private colleges so that they can make money from them or they can keep them happy. By claiming *it is correct* you are just kicking yourself from the front.
To quote from your blog
And, this is just the beginning - Now, two of India's top magazines cant be wrong right?..
At one place you are ranked at 9th and at other place you are ranked at 27th. And you are happy about it. Seriously man, it has been a long time since I saw a douchebag.
rmshark should be thanked that he didnt provide glimpses of VIT students. And I dont want to create another controversy by claiming that VITians are bad. Some of VITians , whom I interacted with, were very good. Only management quota guys create beeps.
DEAR SIR,
COCHIN UNIVERSITY OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY IS ONE OF THE BEST EDUCATIONAL GOVERNMENT UNIVERSITIES OF INDIA CONTAING A LOT OF REPUTATION TO ITS NAME BUT EVAN THERE IS NO RANKING OF CUSAT IN YOUR LIST. COCHIN UNIVERSITY OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY IS ONE OF THE FEW SELECTED INSTITUTIONS WHICH HAS BEEN SELECTED FOR THE UPGRADATION OF IIEST. EVEN IT WAS THE ONE OF THE COLLEGES WHICH WAS TO BE CONVERTED TO AN IIT. THE MHRD HAS ALSO GIVEN THE IIT STATUS TO CUSAT....
AS FAR AS THE PLACEMENT IS CONCERNED IT HAS 100%PLACEMENT.....
AS FAR AS THE FOREIGN UNIVERSITIES ARE CONCERNED IT HAS GOT A LOT OF COLLABORATIONS WITH THE FOREIGN UNIVERSITIES...
IT IS ONE AMONG THE SUPREME COLLEGES OF INDIA IN THE FIELD OF ENGINEERING BUT EVEN ITS RANKING IS NOT BEING GIVEN WHICH SHOULD STAND IN TOP 20 ????
I JUST WANT THE RESON FOR THAT??????????
IT WILL BE YOUR KINDNESS TO MAIL ME THE REASONS LYING BEHIND IT...
I M NOT SATISFIED WITH UR RANKING...
ah man pls refer to the private engineering colleges ...its corrected and iiit-h falls at its deserved place
by the way its a unnecessary yet desired action that u modify ur post accordingly ...its not too creditable downgrading when corrective measures have been taken !
oh and the score of 13 u mentioned...its 130...its natural to assume it as a typo ..so u can confirm it from ur sum total :) and other scores
Hello, All how are you doing? I hope fixed up with ur work!
I believe that Jamia Millia Islamia deserve a good position in the Ranking at list in top 30 engg colleges, as i have been into various campus in India for recruitment, i found all basic and modern facilities are there, students technical are very sound studies are rigorous... Only One campus that is in Delhi All India Base Entrance Test.
Single Campus Deserve More Attention as compare to University (Many Colleges)* Pls. think Over It.
