How the Score Works

Scores add up four published facts: batch size (40), fee disclosure (25), contact & address (20), programme breadth (15). They do not measure teaching quality or exam results, so confirm those with the institute.

  1. 1

    Batch size

    40 points

    Smaller listed batches score higher; online or unlisted batch size gets a middle score.

  2. 2

    Fee disclosure

    25 points

    Full marks when a fee range is published; low marks when fees are only available on enquiry.

  3. 3

    Contact & address

    20 points

    Street address, phone, website and email are each worth part of this score.

  4. 4

    Programme breadth

    15 points

    Number of exams covered, up to three.

Frequently asked questions

Why not score teaching quality?+

Teaching quality and results cannot be checked from public listings, so we leave them out rather than guess. Ask each institute for dated, roll-number-backed results.
