Not Just Rankings, More than that!

Some Factors/Assumptions taken in to Account

• Getting financial support in a school is more important for a student than ranking or location of the University
• Schools having similar rankings, the one with less number of International applicants is given Preference.
• “Big Schools” Which offer many Courses are given good ranks as there is a chance for On campus jobs and Graduate Assistants (Ex: University with Medical Campus will generate a lot of Jobs of Computer Science students Web Designing / Data Management Jobs)
• Preference is given to places where a student can get Internships and Jobs
• Places with less number of Indian students are given higher preference (reason: Less competition)
• Other factors include Safety, Cost of Living, Climatic Condition, Geographic Location & Living Conditions.
• VISA issues based on a feedback from 500 students have been taken as a factor.
• Tuition of the University was taken in to consideration and preference was given to one with low tuition
• Schools run under State System and federal system were given preference to Private Universities
