How is Shiksha's Popularity Rank Calculated?

Let's use this Harvard Ranking as an example to understand how Shiksha calculates the rank: 

1. Gather All Available Ranks
   Shiksha collects Harvard’s position from each publisher. For example, ARWU might show Harvard at #1, THE at #3, and so on.

2. Consolidate and Compare
   These different rankings are then combined and balanced against one another, making sure no single source dominates the final outcome.

3. Adjust for Variations
   Because each ranking body has its own method (e.g., some might report exact ranks, others give rank ranges), Shiksha applies a consistent approach to standardize this data and displays the calculated single Shiksha rank which in this case #4. This gives students an at-a-glance view of how Harvard stands when multiple ranking sources are considered together.

While the precise calculations stay under the hood, the overall idea is that Shiksha merges several reputable rankings into one easy-to-understand position.
