In a recent chat with one of the leading entrepreneurs in the education arena, I brought up the topic of the all India ranking system that the HRD ministry is planning to introduce in early 2016. There he explained that ranking an institution based on general parameters such as faculty strength, infrastructure and placements may be a blanket methodology to evaluate most institutions but there may be many exceptions, especially in a country like India. There are many institutions in the country that intend to improve the literacy rate of a certain geographical location or targets students from a certain demographic. Do such institutions need to participate and excel in such blanket rankings? The answer may tip to either side. In order to evaluate institutions and eliminate all biases and prejudices, ranking authorities should attempt to first understand the mission of each entity and rank them based on their accomplishments based on their mission statements. Such a ranking, if it ever becomes a reality, will do justice to all institutions in their own right.
