Rating methodology · version 1

Owner-reviewed evidence and a written rationale are required for each score. Scale: 1 — significant documented limitations; 2 — below same-stream peers; 3 — meets peer expectations; 4 — strong against peers; 5 — exceptional against peers. Missing evidence is never a low score.

Each parameter carries 20% of the overall score; all five must be reviewed. Compare like programmes and cohorts, not unrelated streams. GetSkill scores are editorial judgements, not conversions of NIRF ranks. An average salary is not a median salary; placement percentages require an explicit denominator. Salary is not take-home pay, and fee recovery is not guaranteed.
