India Today magazine conducted its annual survey to select best colleges in India. 
Unfortunately very few Hyderabad colleges find place in the “best colleges rankings” when compared to states like Tamilnadu, Karnataka, Maharashtra and Delhi. Only single college (Nalsar College in Law) from Andhra Pradesh finds place in the top 10 list. This survey reflects the poor educational standards that are prevailing in our Andhra educational institutions. We need quality but not quantity. Most of the global achievers from Andhra Pradesh are those who are studied in IITs and IIMs.
It is unfortunate to see that educational centres like Vijayawada, Guntur and Nellore have no college in the best colleges list in any department. Guntur Medical College and Vijayawada Loyola are once famous for their academic Excellence. When will we attain those standards?

According to Aroon Purie Editor in Chief of India Today "Our rankings have become the benchmark for academic standards in India". For 2008, India Today issue dated June 2, 2008 carries the India's Best Colleges An Exclusive Survey. Page 88 of this esteemed magazine says IIT Chennai has 200 seats and Page 90 says IIT Mumbai has 312 seats. Year 2007 IIT Chennai had 540 seats and IIT Mumbai had 574 seats. This esteemed magazine did not have a clue to number of seats in various IITs and has gone about ranking them. Do you think it has any credibility? This is the type of guffa they did for BITS Pilani in year 2004 which has been undoubtedly one among the top ranking universities in India. Its time for India today to do Mouthshut.com about their rankings becoming benchmarks for academic standards in India.
Public is wondering as to why BITS Pilani does not figure in the India's Best Colleges Survey reported in the recent issue of India Today magazine.
For the academic year 2004-2005 BITS Pilani admissions were based on the normalized percentage of marks and when this fact was known to everyone across the length and breadth of India, the Magazine India Today went about ranking the best colleges stating that BITS Pilani admissions were based on an entrance examination. One can easily conclude as to whose credibility is at stake in this episode.
In the case of News, one should always wait for the sacrament of confirmation. Considering that the principles of good journalism are directed toward bringing the highest quality of news reporting to the public, thus fulfilling the mission of timely distribution of information in service of public interest, it must be made known that BITS Pilani stopped participating in the India Today ranking of India's best colleges for the years 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008.
No one has any doubt that BITS Pilani is indeed one among the top ranking universities in India yesterday, India today as well as India tomorrow. If mags like India today have become rags then you know who picks them up.
Be proud of the Institution from where you study. If you want to live in the glory of your alma mater, then there is nothing great about it than getting admission in such institutions which derive huge funds from the government. You may be destined to add glory to your alma mater and that is why you are studying where you are presently. Remember that no body can change the latitude and longtitude of your institution but the altitude of your institution can be changed by how you perform in your college and in your career after graduation.
Lots of talk about Best Colleges for Law in India today in various mags here and there. V.M. Salgaocar College of Law (VMSCL)Miramar Goa has been taking great strides in improving the quality of legal education and thus substantially enhancing the quality of law graduates who obtain a Law Degree from Goa University. The Education at the college is not limited to imparting of legal knowledge to the students on various legal subjects but includes a kind of legal training which could enable the students to develop the capacity for rational thinking, articulation, presentation of arguments and sensitivity to the social needs. VMSCL has one of the best libraries which any law college can possess. In fact VMSCL had the option of being one of the National Law Schools but considering the steep fees charged by the National Law Schools, the benovalent Salgaocars decided to retain its identity by maintaining a reasonable and affordable fees structure. In the times to come VMSCL will climb the charts in the ranking pages.
Central University was too good..
