What We Actually Do
This isn't another badge. It's a strategic audit of your institution's future.
Let's be direct about what the ET AI Readiness Certification is and isn't.
It is not a rubber stamp. We don't certify institutions that pay a fee. We certify institutions that earn a score - assessed by independent experts across dimensions that determine whether your institution can genuinely prepare students for an AI-shaped world.
It is not a ranking. We're not comparing you to other institutions. We're measuring you against an objective standard of readiness and giving you a transparent, star-rated scorecard that shows exactly where you stand.
What it is: a rigorous, expert-led evaluation backed by The Economic Times that tells your students, their parents, your recruiters, and your accreditation bodies one thing - this institution is ready.
