MHW Rankings 2025
The primary objective of the MHW Rankings is to identify and celebrate the Best Educational Campuses in India for Mental Health and Wellbeing (MHW). This demonstrates that these institutions have made significant progress towards creating a safe space where their students, teachers and staff can be supported without fear. The MHW Rankings highlight such campuses in order to promote more extensive attention to mental health among those providing education; nurturing environments where all can succeed academically as well as personally. Come with us as we honor individuals who form mental fitness vanguards, benchmarks for an improved supportive educational experience.
India’s Largest Survey for Students and Faculty on Mental Health and Wellbeing (MHW)
As part of the MHW Rankings 2025, the India’s Largest Survey on MHW - Mental Health and Wellbeing, a nationwide initiative is designed to capture the real voices of students and faculty from campuses across the country.
This quick and confidential 2-minute survey offers individuals a chance to share their personal experiences, perspectives, and suggestions related to mental wellness, academic stress, faculty support, hostel life, campus culture, and more.
The outcome of this individual's survey-response would also contribute to the 'Institutional Perception Score' in the MHW Rankings 2025.
