In recent years, branding an educational institution has become the buzzword in academia, replicating the corporate brand strategies to build the overall brand. Also, universities/institutions are focusing more on branding efforts to compete against other players in the crowded global marketplace. In spite of both national and international competition, the brand building process for an institution has to follow a systematic approach to achieve the overall end results.

This article focuses on the essential components of the institutional brand building process, which will empower these institutions with the right marketing and branding systems in order to showcase their achievements appropriately and thereby remain far ahead of the competition.
