AIM has been coming out with academic rankings for graduate courses for the last 8 years. The ranking outcomes will result from a survey, extensive secondary research, and discussions with the participating institutes. This report enlists the top full-time on-campus postgraduate programmes for Data Sciences in India for the year 2022.
This year we have released two separate rankings for postgraduate-level Data Science or Analytics programs based on their mode of delivery: on-campus and online/hybrid.
These courses offer value in different ways to students, who can apply to them depending on what they want to learn. A good course has high and well-balanced scores across all the parameters, making it at the top of the ranking. These rankings will help students identify the right course for them.
The report is helpful for institutes offering these programmes to understand where they stand compared to other courses and identify areas of improvement. It can also be used by the policymakers in public and private organisations to get an idea of the progress the Data Science education industry has made and then help bring in changes accordingly.
For previous year reports:

Methodology
Analytics India Magazine has conducted this survey to rank various data science and analytics programs based on their performance across five parameters— Certification Value, Return on Investment, Program Success, Teaching & Curriculum, and Student Engagement. An overall index has been calculated based on the average scores of each program across the five subindices (based on the above-mentioned parameters).
The sub-indices themselves were calculated based on the scores given to the answers (of the survey questions) asked by AIM using uniform evaluation criteria. These scores were normalised on a scale from 0 to 1 before the average for the sub-indices was taken. Outliers were capped.
You can see the hierarchy of sub-indices and the final index followed for analysis in the below infographic.
