India / Global — 2025 — Coherent Market Insights (CMI) proudly served as the Research Partner for the Prestigious Learning Institutes of India 2025, an initiative recognizing institutions that are redefining academic excellence, innovation, and learner impact across India’s evolving education ecosystem.
Curated under the ET Edge platform, the initiative celebrates institutions across formal education, professional learning, skilling, research, and technology-enabled models that are shaping the future of learning in India.
Taking part in the initiative, Mohit Shrivastava, Coherent Market Insights’ AVP – Research & Consulting, presented the organized research approach used to identify and narrow down most prestigious learning institutes in India. He described the multi-stage evaluation structure, eligibility criteria, scoring methodology, and validation mechanisms used to guarantee transparency, credibility, and sectoral diversity in the final selection.
CMI’s Role: Designing a Reliable Academic Benchmark
Coherent Market Insights served as a research partner spearheading the whole research and evaluation procedure which was based on a rigorous, data-driven framework.
A thorough, multi-stage research approach was used to identify the Prestigious Learning Institutes of India 2025 to guarantee credibility, transparency, and equitable national representation.
To start the evaluation, 1,000 top and upcoming institutes across the education ecosystem in India, such as K–12 schools, higher education universities, EdTech and hybrid platforms, STEM and future-skills academies, coaching institutes, research labs, study-abroad facilitators, and education-focused NGOs, were identified. CMI used regulatory databases, accreditation records, national rankings, institutional disclosures, and reliable public sources to identify these institutions and guarantee breath and credibility.
CMI further relied on a uniform eligibility criteria for deeper analysis of operational tenure, academic offerings, pedagogical innovation, governance standards, strategic initiatives, and institutional reputation. The institutes were divided into three categories: New (0–3 years), Upcoming (3–10 years), and Established (10+ years) for fair representation.
CMI used a weighted scoring model to assess the institutions that made the short list. Academic excellence, innovation, faculty quality, infrastructure, recognitions, alumni outcomes, and measurable learner impact were the primary parameters (75% weightage). Subsequently, research output, partnerships, scalability, social impact, sustainability initiatives, and alignment with future-ready reforms constituted the strategic parameters (25% weightage).
From the initial pool of 1,000 institutions, the Top 200 Prestigious Learning Institutes of India 2025 were shortlisted after thorough assessment and validation. Academic excellence, innovation-driven learning approaches, institutional reputation, and long-term learner and societal impact are all reflected in the final ranking.
