How we source our data

Students make life-changing decisions based on the numbers on this site. We take that seriously. Every placement percentage, package figure and cutoff rank should be traceable to a source — and where it isn't, we label it clearly so you know.

What our badges mean

Verified

We've cross-checked this number against an official source (NIRF report, college brochure, or government publication). The source and year are shown alongside it.

Sourced

We know where this number came from (and we show the source + year), but we haven't independently cross-checked it yet. Treat it as reliable but not triple-checked.

Self-reported

The college has published this number themselves — on their website or in their own brochure — but we have no independent confirmation. Colleges have incentives to inflate these, so read with a grain of salt.

Estimated

We got this number from third-party aggregators, not a primary source. It's directionally useful for comparison but should not be quoted verbatim. We're actively upgrading these to Sourced or Verified over time.

Unverified

We don't yet have any documented source for this number at all. Treat it as a placeholder — we're working to either source it or remove it.

Where our data comes from

NIRF Rankings

The National Institutional Ranking Framework published annually by the Ministry of Education. Authoritative for ranking, faculty-student ratio, placement percentage and median package for the reported year.

College brochures & official websites

Year-specific placement reports, course catalogues, fee structures and hostel costs published by the colleges themselves.

UGC, AICTE, MCI, BCI

Approval status, ownership type, intake capacity and recognised-institute lists come from the relevant regulator.

JoSAA, MCC, CSAB

Year-wise closing and opening ranks used in our cutoff and predictor tools come from the official counselling authorities.

Wikipedia (campus images)

Creative Commons and public-domain images used for college banners and thumbnails.

AI-assisted enrichment

Where primary sources don't cover everything (e.g. notable alumni, campus descriptions), we use AI-generated summaries — but only for qualitative fields. AI is never used to fabricate numbers. A missing number stays missing.

Our promise on numbers

  • •We will never invent a placement number to make a college look better. A blank field is always better than a fake one.
  • •Every placement and ranking number will, over time, carry a source and a year. Fields without one are flagged with an Unverified badge so you can see the gap.
  • •We don't accept paid placement in rankings or search results. Colleges can't pay to rank higher.
  • •When we find that an old number was wrong, we correct it — and we don't quietly edit history. Significant corrections are logged.

See a wrong number?

If you're a current student, alum, or staff member and you spot a number that doesn't match reality, please tell us. Include the college name, the specific field, and — if you can — a link to an official source.
