TThe primary objective of the research was to identify and rank Top Schools in Mumbai. The research followed i3RC-BRM model (proprietary model developed by i3RC Insights for ranking and benchmarking surveys). It is a holistic methodology to evaluate, assess and rank various schools. The assessment focuses on three key dimensions viz. Resources, Effort and Outcomes the gain 3600 perspective.
Institutional Assessment Survey
Feedback Assessment Survey
The data collection was done through online surveys and telephonic surveys during the month of August and September 2023.
A. Mahim to Cuffe Parade

J. Thane to Dombivali and Surroundings
K. Nerul, Sanpada, Vashi, Kharghar
L. Airoli to Khoparkhaine
The geographical spread of the sample was ensured by selecting multiple starting points spread across the zone.
1. National Curriculum - School offering ICSE Curriculum
2. National Curriculum - School offering CBSE Curriculum
3. International Baccalaureate (PYP, MYP, IBDP)- Schools offering IB Continuum: All three programmes of the IB, Primary Years Programme (PYP), Middle Years Programme (MYP) and Diploma Programme (IBDP)
4. IGCSE + IBDP + PYP- Schools offering IBDP (International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme) A levels– IGCSE, PYP (The Primary Years Programme and CAIE (Cambridge Assessment International Education)
5. Schools Offering IGCSE, Cambridge Assessment International Education - Cambridge Early Years Programme, Cambridge Primary, Cambridge Secondary and A -Levels)
6. IGCSE, IBDP, ICSE, CBSE and SSC
7. SSC ( State Board)
A list of Schools was prepared based on the last year’s database which was updated based new additions which came through multiple sources such as internet, magazines and other publications. The starting point was the list of schools from previous surveys. We also made use of various internet sites to further expand the list. Finally, the list was further augmented by discussing with some industry experts.
However, it is not possible to get an exhaustive list of schools and include them in the survey. Therefore, we had option of adding any new school name in the survey form if any respondent mentioned any school name outside our list. Effectively, every school had a chance of getting covered in the feedback survey through this approach.
A total of over 600 schools were covered for the Institutional Assessment Survey and were sent the institutional assessment form. Post sending mails, these schools were followed up through mails as well as telephonically to ensure good participation in the survey
The institutional assessment focused on all three constructs viz. resources, efforts and outcome as below:
Feedback survey was a perception survey amongst diverse target groups. The target groups covered were:
Telephonic Survey was conducted across Greater Mumbai.
The following key parameters were covered in Feedback Assessment:
The analysis and ranking are done using our scientifically developed analytical model i3RC-BRM. It follows a robust approach to arrive at the final rankings.
Each information variable is given a score based on the statistically developed scoring methodology
All information pertaining to a parameter are combined to arrive at the parameter scores which are combined to get overall institutional assessment score
The raw scores thus obtained are weighted by their importance to arrive at weighted scores
Ratings on key parameters for each college
Calculating importance of various parameters to arrive at weights for each parameter – a regression model to arrive at the importance of various parameters
Calculation of raw scores and weighted scores for each parameter
Calculation of overall score for each college using importance weightages.
Finally Institutional Assessment Scores and Feedback Assessment scores are combined to arrive at total score based on which the final ranks are arrived at.
Only schools who participated in the institutional assessment survey and filled their form were ranked
The above ranking is based on the information provided by various schools and then applying statistics to arrive at final scores
Schools explicitly requesting to be excluded were excluded from the rankings
