BCAS Campus ranked No.01 amongst the Private higher education institutions surveyed for Sri Lanka’s top Business Magazine

In the recent survey conducted by the most prestigious and pioneer business magazine in Sri Lanka the LMD, BCAS Campus has emerged No.1 amongst the private higher education institutions selected for the survey. The survey was, actually, carried out by the TNS Lanka for the magazine on 43 selected institutions which included semi- governmental institutions as well. In the overall rankings, BCAS has achieved the 4th Place while the first three placed ahead of BCAS are semigovernmental institutors. BCAS Campus has thus been ranked to become No.1 amongst the private sector higher education institutions in Sri Lanka.

The TNS Lanka has considered 18 different aspects to arrive at the rankings and the most important amongst them are reputation & global recognition, learning facilities, affordability & fee structures, qualified lecturer panels, extra curricular activities, campus environment, scholarships , pass rates , internships & prospect of international opportunities etc. The results of the survey have been published in the September 2013 issue of the magazine under the strip title “Educational Institutions in Sri Lanka | Survey Results”.

Reproduced extracts from the magazine itself describe the importance of the survey.
