K.R. Mangalam University is ranked among the elite Universities by the assessment on the basis of various institutional parameters measured against globally benchmarked standards. The QS I-GAUGE framework, which rates institutions based on their ability to achieve predetermined quality standards, does not compare universities against each other, but rather the recognition serves to provide a legitimate, objective assessment of institutional excellence.
About QS I-GAUGE
QS I-GAUGE is India's institution-specific rating system created by the joint initiative of QS Quacquarelli Symonds (publisher of the QS World University Rankings) and the ERA Foundation in India. The framework assesses universities based on a wide set of performance indicators and has been developed for the Indian higher education sector with international quality standards.
The assessment reflects on various aspects of institutional quality, such as Teaching & Learning, Employability, Faculty Quality, Research, Governance & Structure, Facilities, Diversity & Accessibility, Academic Development and Social Responsibility. The ratings are based on a thorough university evaluation, including data verification, documentation review, stakeholder interactions, and independent assessment before being awarded ratings.
The QS I-GAUGE Diamond Rating is awarded to those institutions that consistently uphold high standards in key academic and operational elements and have a robust commitment to student success, innovation, governance and societal impact.
Prof. (Dr.) Dinesh Singh, Chancellor, K.R. Mangalam University, commenting on the achievement, said, "The QS I-GAUGE Diamond Rating is a reflection of our collective commitment to academic excellence, innovation, integrity and student-centric education. While we celebrate this milestone, we also recognise the greater responsibility it brings to continuously raise our standards, strengthen global engagement, and create meaningful impact through knowledge, research and innovation."
How QS I-GAUGE Differs from University Rankings?
Unlike conventional university rankings, which compare institutions against one another to determine relative positions, QS I-GAUGE follows a rating-based evaluation model. The framework measures a university's performance against clearly defined quality standards and internationally benchmarked criteria.
The distinction helps to make the assessment more holistic and institution-focused. Unlike the traditional approach of giving credit to relative performance, QS I-GAUGE is a measure that recognises institutions that demonstrate excellence across a broad range of metrics in higher education. It encourages continuous quality enhancement by identifying institutional strengths while also highlighting opportunities for further development.
For students, parents, recruiters, and academic partners, the QS I-GAUGE rating serves as a reliable indicator of an institution's academic quality, governance, infrastructure, student support systems, research ecosystem, and industry readiness.
