“To make the ratings methodology more user friendly, the 10 point score awarded by respondents to schools under each parameter was multiplied by 10 and rounded off to the nearest number. All the parameters were given equal weightage except the vitally important parameter of ‘competence of faculty’ which is given double weightage.” says Premchand Palety, Chief Executive of C fore, explaining the ratings and ranking methodology of EWISR 2018-19.
