In order to attract students of IITs, NITs, and certain top engineering colleges in the country to its Ph. D. programme, the Institute is offering direct admission to fourth year B. Tech. students regardless of whether they have qualified GATE. An additional fellowship of Rs 10, 000 per month will be given to the
students who qualify GATE.
How do you define a top engineering college? Should one go by the rankings, where Amity University is ranked 18 while IISc is ranked 41.

I believe that IIT-GN will not use media rankings, but will decide the list internally.
I guess the ranking which the link linked to was for B-schools only.
@ Digbijoy Nath: A B-school ranking list without the IIMs in the top few does not sound right.
I think the exact definition of a top college can be vague and is immaterial; so long as IIT-GN is the widening applicant base, it serves the purpose. Candidates who are not enough will be dropped anyway.
BTW, Why IISc is not admittinging non-GATE candidates for its PhD program?
Here is the detailed information on Ph.D admission: http://www.iitgn.ac.in/phd.htm.
I think offering PhD option to UG students without being bothered about GATE is a good move (at least worth a try) by IIT Gn.
As far as the point regarding how the ranking of engineering colleges wil be done..Well..My unsolicited advice would be open the portals for all the institutes which have been accredited as 'A' Grade by NAAC.
The benefits of that would be
1. Remove the scope of favoritism by IIT Gn to any particular institute (public or private).
2. If all the IITs were to follow similar scheme, this will motivate all the Tier 2 and Tier 3 institutes to go for accreditation and try to secure 'A' grade.
Of course, this assumes that NAAC is not corrupt or at the least can
a. Put up the general objective criteria for grading and the reasons for the given grade of each institutes in open domain. (Difficult to implement I guess)
b. Does not shy away from giving relevant information under RTI citing 'national security'.

ERRATA : I meant departments which have been graded 'A'. An institute is too broad a parameter to give any conclusive evidence.
The last point of previous post ends with a :) . [I hope it conveys the sarcasm].
RG again..
