FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The weekly Newsmagazine Outlook in its June 11, 2007 issue has put BITS Pilani right on top of the private engineering colleges in India today. For the Corporate HR Perception parameter, the Dataquest IDC Best Tech School survey 2007 has put BITS Pilani right on top of all the institutions excluding the IITs. Public is wondering as to why BITS Pilani did not figure in the India�s Best Colleges Survey reported in June 4, 2007 issue of India Today magazine.

For the academic year 2004-2005 BITS Pilani admissions were based on the normalized percentage of marks and when this fact was known to everyone across the length and breadth of the country, the India Today Magazine went about ranking the best colleges stating that BITS Pilani admissions were based on an entrance examination. One can easily conclude as to whose credibility is at stake in this episode.

In the case of News, one should always wait for the sacrament of confirmation. Considering that the principles of good journalism are directed toward bringing the highest quality of news reporting to the public, it must be made known that BITS Pilani stopped participating in the India Today survey ranking of India�s best colleges for the years 2005, 2006 and 2007.
