Commodifying Ranking & Accreditation in Higher Education

Education has always remained the path to evolution and amelioration of society as a whole.

- DR. SHADAB AHMED

In the contemporary competitive Indian job sector, education is what structures a student's career colossally. Parents nurture the silent desire to send their progeny to the best institutes, colleges and universities, aspiring to secure their bright future ambitiously. Hence, the reputation of a college, institute or university effectively determines the professional standing, code of conduct, ethics and quality of education, objective and outcome of education, access to cross-disciplinary and inter-disciplinary internationalization, research opportunities, employment and career prospects. It is an unuttered act of faith in the education structure and quality. Education, thus, becomes priceless to acquire and attain. Therefore, the need arose to rank and accredit the colleges and universities across various spectrums of Indian higher education based on quality, competency, infrastructure, research, resource utilization, diversity and gender equality.
