LI, to your knowledge, is there any explanation given by Outlook for ranking different CLAT colleges differently on the basis of their selection process?

Last year some time, you had done a story talking about how these rankings have no methodology to speak of and are quite arbitrary, speaking specifically of the week's analysis. Does your new policy also mean that we won't see any more of those stories?
Kian, I know that you've taken an editorial decision to not write about rankings, but whenever these rankings come out there's a common discomfort with the lack of methodology. Unfortunately, the objections to the way these rankings take place is usually not well articulated. This is something LI can help with, and maybe there'll actually be a change. Surely, if you write an article o LI and/or Mint about how the outlook/IT rankings make absolutely no methodological sense, someone will take notice? Unfortunately, too many people still take these rankings seriously, and are influenced by them. People being told that NLIU is better than NUJS is a problem, because if they believe it, and make CLAT preferences that way, they're screwed.
