Its been long time since we have published any of the top lists – Trak.in used to see a lot of them in 2008, somehow it went down in 2009. But 2010 promises to be different. We will be making concentrated effort on bringing you various Top Lists ( They serve as a good reference point, and they are good for building blog traffic as well :)
Coming back, IDC, one of the leading research firms in association with Dataquest, recently released list of “Top 20 Technology Colleges in India”. Here are some of the highlights of that survey.
IIT Kharagpur was adjudged the best Technology School followed by IIT Delhi and IIT Madras. Infact, 6 out of top 10 Technology colleges featured IIT colleges, which is why IITians are so highly regarded, not only in India, but across the globe.
BITS Pilani, which I regarded quite highly is placed at number 8. Somehow, I always thought that BITS was one of the top 3 technology schools in India !

How top Technology Colleges fared in Placements in 2009
We all know 2009 was not a good year for placements – Total placements fell to 73% from 84% the previous year. However there were 16 out of top 111 Technology colleges that managed to get 100% placements.
One would imagine that these 16 colleges would be similar to the list given above. After all, better colleges get better placements. But that does not seem to be so. There were a few colleges who did not figure in the top 20 technology colleges list, but managed to attain 100% placements. Really commendable, I must say.
Here are the 16 colleges that attained 100% placements:
