M S University's Faculty of Social Work has been ranked third in the list of country's best social work professional colleges for the second successive year.

The faculty has been ranked third in the survey conducted by a weekly magazine.

"This is the second time that we have been ranked third best school of social work across the country. We are also the only institute of social work from Gujarat to be ranked in the top ten list," dean of faculty of social work professor M N Parmar said, adding that the faculty has scored overall 830.9 from 1000, only five points away from the second rank.

Like the previous year, even this year, the survey has ranked Mumbai-based Tata Institute of Social Sciences as the number one social work school followed by Department of Social Work of Delhi University which has been ranked number two.

It is worth mentioning here that the ranking of MSU's faculty was elevated last year. In 2011, the faculty was ranked fourth among top ten social work colleges in the country. In 2012, the faculty had surpassed Department of Social Work of Jamia Millia which in 2011 survey was ranked third.

The criteria for ranking were selection process, academic excellence, personality development and exposure, infrastructure and placement. "While our overall ranking is third, we have scored first position in personality development and exposure of our students and second in terms of our infrastructure," said Parmar.
