Global Assessorships

1. FOR SCHOOLS / COLLEGES 

The RAISE Global Innovation Index (RGII) Ratings & Rankings Framework is an independent benchmarking and recognition system for schools and educational institutions in India. RGII is designed to provide comprehensive insights into school performance across academics, infrastructure, faculty quality, student development, and community engagement. While RGII evaluations are conducted rigorously and transparently, the ratings and rankings issued are independent assessments and do not replace or confer any official accreditation, affiliation, or regulatory approval from government authorities or educational boards. Participation in RGII allows schools to identify areas of strength and improvement, benchmark themselves against peers, and receive recognition for their commitment to educational excellence.

The RAISE Global Innovation Index (RGII) Ratings and Rankings Framework is built on the principles of strictness, fairness, and transparency. Each criterion is meticulously defined with clear scoring thresholds to ensure consistency and objectivity throughout the assessment process. By evaluating a wide range of categories—spanning student development, faculty excellence, research & innovation, academic governance, infrastructure, and community engagement—the framework offers a holistic picture of a school’s performance. The weightages assigned to each category reflect their relative importance, resulting in a balanced and meaningful evaluation. This rigorous approach minimizes bias, ensures equitable judgment for all schools, and promotes fair comparisons. Ultimately, it fosters a culture of continuous improvement across every dimension of school management and education delivery.

EVALUATION PROCESS

At RGII, our Rating & Ranking Framework is designed to provide schools with a transparent and comprehensive evaluation process. Here's how it works:

1. Application Submission:

Schools interested in participating can submit their application through our website. The application process is simple and user-friendly, ensuring accessibility for all schools.

2. Processing Fees and Evaluation Preparation:

Upon receiving the application, schools are informed about the processing fees. Before the evaluation begins, schools are provided with payment details to complete the process.

3. Evaluation Criteria:

Our framework encompasses a wide range of criteria covering various aspects of a school's operations, including infrastructure, academic excellence, extracurricular activities, community engagement, safety measures, inclusivity, leadership, innovation, and more.

4. Evaluation Process:

Once the processing fees are settled, our evaluation committee initiates the assessment process. This involves a thorough review and analysis of the information provided by the school, ensuring a fair and impartial evaluation.

5. Telephonic Discussion and School Visit:

To gather additional insights, our evaluation committee conducts telephonic discussions with school representatives, typically the Principal or designated staff member. Following this discussion, a visit will be arranged to the school to go into more specific areas of evaluation.

6. Documentation Review:

Schools are required to submit relevant documentation to support their claims and provide evidence of their achievements and initiatives. This documentation plays a crucial role in substantiating the school's performance and contributes to the overall assessment.

7. Rating Allocation:

Based on the evaluation findings, each school is allocated a rating that reflects its performance across the defined criteria. The rating serves as a measure of the school's quality, effectiveness, and overall standing within the education community.

8. Annual Ranking Allocation:

Schools that receive ratings are eligible for annual ranking allocation. Rankings are determined based on the comparative analysis of schools within the framework, considering factors such as academic excellence, extracurricular achievements, community engagement, and more.

9. Proudly Display the Rating/Ranking, Report with Feedback, and Improvement Opportunities:

Following the evaluation process, schools receive a banner and certificate that can be displayed in their school. Also, a detailed report with feedback highlighting their strengths, areas for improvement, and recommendations for enhancing their performance. This feedback serves as a valuable resource for schools to develop improvement strategies and achieve higher ratings in subsequent evaluations.

10. Continuous Engagement and Support:

RGII remains committed to supporting schools throughout their journey towards excellence. We provide ongoing guidance, resources, and opportunities for collaboration to help schools thrive and continuously improve their educational standards.

By participating in the RGII Rating & Ranking Framework, schools gain valuable insights, recognition, and opportunities for growth, contributing to their success and the overall advancement of the education sector.
