6/D-22 Jul 14, 2006 12:06 AM	Looks like yet another biased survey by Outlook to prove the point that Tamil Nadu reservations is the greatest thing since sliced bread! Is Guindy with 69% reservation all that better than College of Engg Pune?? Ramanan Chandler, Uganda PERMALINK \| LIKE (0) \| DISLIKE (0) \| REPORT ABUSE
5/D-23 Jul 13, 2006 12:05 AM	My college is in the top 5. But I can say with 400% conviction that the methodology used is poor because of its inherent subjectivity. Rajeev Delhi, India PERMALINK \| LIKE (0) \| DISLIKE (0) \| REPORT ABUSE
4/D-32 Jul 12, 2006 12:04 AM	Ghulam, My college is in the top 5. Even then I am 400% certain that the methodology is flawed. Rajeev Delhi, India PERMALINK \| LIKE (0) \| DISLIKE (0) \| REPORT ABUSE
3/D-10 Jul 10, 2006 12:03 AM	The methodology must be good since my college is in the top twenty! Ghulam Y Faruki New York, United States PERMALINK \| LIKE (0) \| DISLIKE (0) \| REPORT ABUSE
2/D-6 Jul 10, 2006 12:02 AM	I feel the methodology adopted by Outlook was flawed. I cannot fathom why you relied on weightage in your questionnaire to arrive at the results. Why not use actual figures? I am sure you could have found actual figures for the number of campus placements for each discipline as a percantage of the total number of students and the budget of the College would have given you a figure on the actual facilities in the college. Similarly the qualifications of the faculty would have provided a mechanisam to quantify the intellectual capital. I am afraid your survey results can therefore be termed as subjective and not an objective one. Rajeev Delhi, India PERMALINK \| LIKE (0) \| DISLIKE (0) \| REPORT ABUSE
1/D-5 Jul 09, 2006 12:01 AM	It is a discussion about Indian institutions and the pictures of both young man and woman on the front are of white Caucasians. Does this mean that an Indian young man or woman is not worth a picture on the front page? Come out of this complex.
