Mangaluru, Feb 10: QS I-GAUGE is a brand incorporated in India as an independent private sector initiative specialised in rating colleges, universities, and schools. It brings together the global expertise, experience, and reputation of UK based (QS) Quacquarelli Symonds, along with deep local knowledge of luminaries from Indian education.
Trusted globally by students, parents, and a diverse set of other stakeholders, including Governments and the Corporate sectors, the QS I-GAUGE rating tools capture the essence of the dynamic Indian education system and conform to the international standards and best practices.
QS I-Gauge Subject Rating for Indian higher education institutions is thoughtfully designed with students' long-term success in focus. This rating evaluates institutions based on the quality of education delivered in specific subjects, ensuring alignment with current job market trends and future industry demands.
The QS I-GAUGE rating does not depend solely on the data submitted by the Institution but also elicits anonymous survey responses from students, faculty, 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.
