This blog will guide you through a straightforward two-step process to help you select the ideal college that matches your preferences. By following these steps, you'll be able to identify colleges that are well-suited for you.

NIRF Ranking

The first step is nirf ranking. We have NIRF Ranking for various streams, say Engineering, Law, medicine, arts, etc.

Go to the official website of NIRF Ranking, say Engineering. You can see the list of colleges sorted based on ranking.

You can click on the arrows near the name of every column and sort it based on city, state or whatever filter you want to have.

I have clicked on state and you can see the list of colleges in alphabetical order of state, starting from Andra Pradesh.

Why NIRF Ranking?

NIRF Ranking is a ranking given for universities and colleges by the government. So this is a trustable source. To know various aspects on how NIRF is ranking colleges, you can go through their criteria list given in their website.

Linkedin

The next step involves utilizing LinkedIn. After you have a list of universities based on your priorities, you can visit LinkedIn to gather more information about these colleges. Simply search for the college name and select "All results - People."

On LinkedIn, you can find a list of individuals associated with that college, including current students, alumni, and their current positions. This provides valuable insights into the college, including information about placements, hostel facilities, and more.

For instance, you can focus on alumni from the college you are interested in, see where they work, and their job positions. You can then search for details about the companies they work for, their roles, salaries, and more on Google.

By following these steps, you can effectively determine the best college that aligns with your preferences and goals. I hope this blog helps you in your decision-making process
