Republic Media Network has announced the launch of its new vertical, Republic Education, signaling its entry into the education sector.
Coinciding with the launch, the network disclosed plans to undertake India’s largest-ever college rankings exercise: the Republic Education College Rankings, powered by Collegedunia.com.
Unprecedented Scale and Methodology
The rankings initiative aims to set a new standard for credibility, scale, and transparency in higher education evaluation.
- Scale: It will cover 3,093+ colleges and universities across India, making it twice the size of existing recognized national frameworks.
- Methodology: Unlike traditional systems, the framework will use cutoff scores as a primary ranking factor. It is backed by over 500,000 verified student reviews and real-time traffic insights from Collegedunia.com, utilizing a proprietary methodology built on in-house data intelligence.
