The QS brand is synonymous with quality and independence.
Trusted globally by students, parents, and a diverse set of other stakeholders, including Governments and the Corporate sectors, the QS I-GAUGE rating tools for colleges and universities in India capture the essence of the dynamic Indian education system and conform to the international standards and best practices. Consisting of seven primary indicators (teaching and learning, faculty quality, employability, diversity & accessibility, facilities, social responsibility, and governance & structure) and six secondary indicators (research, arts & culture, entrepreneurship, innovation, internationalization, and academic development), the rating outcomes provide a unique 360-degree perspective on the institution’s performance.
The QS I∙GAUGE rating does not depend solely on the data submitted by the Institution but also elicits anonymous survey responses from students, faculties, and alumni. The rating reflects key insights to the student community in pursuit of higher education. The institutions are awarded bronze, silver, gold, diamond, or platinum badges based on their performance.
