Shiksha has graded Korea University streams, such as Law, Accounting & Commerce, and Aerospace Engineering with A++ grades. The presence of multiple rankings online can prove to be overwhelming to students looking to study abroad. Hence, Shiksha Study Abroad has launched Shiksha Grading. With it, students will no longer be required to check multiple ranking organisations to know about the performance of a particular university. Just checking Shiksha rating will suffice.
