FOR INSTITUTIONS
Q: Why is my institution’s participation important?
A: The survey is about your institution's satisfaction level with its stakeholders. This will help assess the representative's views and experiences with the institutions. The survey results provide insights into faculty and students' opinions and behaviours that can be used to make important decisions.
Q: How are the survey responses assessed?
A: The responses will be analysed and summarised based on the overall positive feedback.
Q: What is the process to participate in this survey?
A: QS I-GAUGE is offering this initiative "free of charge" to all participating institutions. Email communication with details to express interest will be sent to institutions pan India. If you have not received any communication, please write to us at contact@igauge.in. One of our representatives will contact you.
Q: How are the survey results shared?
A: The survey results will be sent back to the participating institution. However, the institutions' specific results will not be made public. Based on the institution's performance, a certificate will be awarded to the institution and the same will be published on our official website. The certificate can be used by the institution as marketing collateral.
​
Q: Does QS I-GAUGE provide a detailed analysis of the survey data?
A: Institutions can request a detailed scorecard after the announcement of their results. This comprehensive analysis provides insights into the institution's performance across various survey metrics, helping to identify targeted improvement strategies.

​
Q: What is the process for renewing the certificate?

survey process again.
​
Q: If an institution is awarded an IOH certificate, does that confer the status of a QS I-GAUGE Rated institution?
A: This project checks the experiences of students & faculty to know their level of happiness with the institution. While this certification acknowledges the satisfaction levels within your institution, it does not confer a rating. The rating process is governed by a methodology on various parameters.

FOR STUDENTS
Q: Will my answers be shared with the institution?
A: One of the most important aspects of this survey is to understand your experiences as a student. This is an opportunity for students to register their opinion on educational needs, satisfaction level, and other areas of importance about their respective institution. The objective of this initiative is to provide insights to institutions on their stakeholders' experiences and QS I-GAUGE as an independent and trusted organisation is facilitating this study. Only the aggregate results/responses of the survey will be shared with institutions.
Q: Are my survey responses anonymous and confidential?
A: Yes, the questionnaire is anonymous. The survey does not capture the students' names and addresses. QS I-GAUGE follows high standards of data privacy and security. No individual survey responses will be shared with the participating institution.
​
Q: How can my friend's institution participate in this survey?
