Questionnaire: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/LMWLMLS
https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/LMWLMLS
https://www.brcommunity.com/articles.php?id=b659
Parameters:
A. Identification of Parameters
B. Scoring Matrix of factors/weightage assigned to each of the parameters
C. Questionnaire based on identified parameters
D. Cleansing of received questionnaire with biasesness
E. Overall Scoring of each participating college/university
F. Quadrant of Grand Strategy and Impact Analysis
G. Viewpoint on the arrived solution
Factor Analysis:
We have put 35 questions to different institutes (76). Out of which only 37 have responded back to
the survey and others have either refused or either not responded. We have 49% response rate
which is quite good as generally institute’s are not forthcoming with respect to sharing the strategies
being applied to get the prospective students.
We started with general questions where a weightage was associated to each question. Also, to
reduce undue influences a few questions were asked again with twist so that we can get the overall
pictures. Out of 37, 14 questions were in this manner.
This helped us to reduce the biasness in the responses and bring better and realistic picture.
Ankit Singh
Based on the weightage and responses, we discarded a few earlier parameters using correlation
analysis which we initially thought could have played a roll. Based on the significance, there are 7
factors which we were able to deduce to have significant impact as per the responses received.
We will also like to show impact of these factors on tapping the new students as well as how
institute are using it as a competitive advantage.
At last, we’ll like to put institute’s in the quadrants as challenger, laggard, leader so that in future
other institute can take this as a framework to benchmark them.
I believe that this is one innovative way which have not yet been applied anywhere especially in
India. This is first time, we are studying the impact with quantitative data in admissions in
college/institute/universities.
