It's T-school rating time again as we come back with our second Dataquest—IDC

T-School Survey. Every survey primarily comprises two factors-the overall

research findings and the methodology-and it is our methodology that

differentiates us from other surveys.



At this stage it is important to clarify the definition of a T-school. The

term could be ambiguous; especially as the general connotation, in all

likelihood, would be that of a regular engineering institute. While a regular

institute may be very strong on several parameters, Dataquest's key

consideration is the strength of the institute from the IT industry point of

view. We have prioritized the parameters that matter to the IT recruiters of the

country. Therefore, while an institute may get the maximum number of recruiters

visiting during campus placements, the proportion of IT employers could be low,

thereby negatively affecting its performance in our survey. The same would hold

true for all other parameters and sub-parameters. style="mso-spacerun: yes">  src="http://www.dqindia.com/images06/t-school_june2k6.jpg" width=250 align=right

Last year saw the first comprehensive T-School study from Dataquest, in

association with IDC. As every popular survey is followed by reactions-some

positive, some not so, and some moderate, so was ours. We thank all our readers

for the bouquets and also the brick-bats, which helped in our efforts to

constantly improve the survey and add more value, towards which we have made

certain changes in the format over last year. We wanted to do it in a structured

manner in discussion with the two major stakeholders in the study ie, the

institutes and the IT recruiters.



We conducted separate focus group discussions to hear their suggestions and

then identify the contours of the study. The objective was to take into account

parameters that are more relevant and could be validated. So, factors that were

not relevant or could not be validated were not considered (or given lower

weightage) in the survey.



The Performers

The IITs continue to rule, with some shuffle at the

top. IIT-Madras replaces IIT-Kanpur as the numero uno this year, and the latter
slipped to number six. In fact, both the Delhi and Kharagpur IITs have beaten

Bombay and Kanpur in the game this year. Even IIT-Guwahati puts up a great

performance and moves up four places to take the fourth rank.

vAlign=top width=433 colSpan=4 height=31>It's a

near repetition of last year's listing except for NIT Suratkal and NIT

Kurukshetra who give the survey a miss. IIT-Delhi, Jadavpur University and BIT

Mesra are new entrants

The Top 20 listing this year looks a little different once you go beyond the

IITs. None of the regional engineering colleges (read NITs) feature in the top

10. BIT-Ranchi and BITS-Pilani both feature among the Top 20 T-schools in India.

Jadavpur University, which has one of the best-known engineering colleges in the

East, has entered the Top 20 this year. style="mso-spacerun: yes">  



While 75% of the weightage is given to the response from institutes, 25% is

reserved for the perception of the IT Recruiters. Therefore, scores on institute

response have a stronger bearing on the overall scores in the study. Take for

example the International Institute of Information Technology, Hyderabad. While

just 20 companies came to the campus in this institute that was only established

in 1998, all 20 companies were IT companies. This is one of the important

factors that helped IIIT-Hyderabad score better than even some of the IITs.

Hence, despite a relatively low score on industry perception, IIIT-Hyderabad

manages to find a place in the Top 10. In fact, both IIITs (Hyderabad and

Allahabad) have taken significant strides this year to come into the Top 10.



Another highlight of the survey is the entry of Jadavpur University in the

Top 20. At #18, Jadavpur University has climbed seven places this year. The

engineering department of this Kolkata-based university has a good track record

in terms of industry recognition and quality of talent. While there have always

been takers as far as traditional engineering is concerned, the current

performance can be largely attributed to the huge IT boom in West Bengal.

Placement scores were fairly high with nearly 16% of the recruiters coming from

the IT industry and another 5% coming from ITeS. Academic environment emerges as

another area of strength for JU. Today the IT industry is the biggest bet as far

as the government is concerned. JU has a reputation that has been built over

several years and with more and more IT companies showing interest, is all

geared up to set up facilities in the State. It should not surprise anyone if it

leapfrogs into the Top 10 next year.
