Student Fit Index
A transparent decision aid for international students researching universities in North Cyprus. Side by side, source-cited, designed to be questioned.
v1.0 — all seven categories scored, for every university. Each sub-metric is graded 0–100 from one of three evidence sources: our verified database (programmes, fees, accreditations, scholarships), geography computed from campus coordinates (distance to the city, coast access, dorms near campus), or a documented page on the university's own website. Every score links to its source and carries a confidence level. This measures how clearly a university documents itself for international students — not its prestige.
Category breakdown
Tap any row to see the sub-metrics, confidence, and evidence behind each score.
How to read confidence
- High confidence
Captured from a primary, dated source on the university's own domain.
- Medium confidence
Primary source, but partial or older than six months.
- Low confidence
Secondary or indirect indicator (third-party page, archived snapshot).
- Unknown
No usable evidence found yet — the score stays empty rather than zero.

Seven categories. Fixed weights.
Adding a category, removing one, or changing a weight is a versioned methodology change — never a silent edit.

What it is
A decision aid, end to end source-cited.
Each value carries a source URL, a confidence level, and a verification date. When data is unavailable, the scorecard says so — never silently filled with zero.
What it is not
- · Not an official academic ranking.
- · Not a measure of teaching or research output.
- · Not aggregated student reviews.
- · No LinkedIn or alumni profile scraping. Career data, when used, is manual, aggregate, anonymised, and clearly marked beta.
