IIM-Ahmedabad most preferred B-school

The respondents were categorised into various groups — freshers,experienced,women,alumni,aspirants and students,plus an overall ranking. The second and third slots were occupied by IIM-Bangalore and IIM-Calcutta,respectively. The three IIMs had also been the top three choices for respondents in the last ranking in 2009.

‘The Pagalguy B-school Rankings are perception rankings that measure the preferences of the population polled. We believe it is logically impossible to rank abstract entities such as B-schools by quality and be accurate too,” wrote editor Apurv Pandit.

The rankings included 184 B-schools from across the country,with regional and national rankings done separately by making a list of “nationally-aspired” and “regionally-aspired” B-schools.

The survey was carried out in such a way that a respondent,upon submitting his location,would get a list of national B-schools and another list of B-schools that are doing well in the region.

Among the IIT schools of management,IIT Bombay was the most preferred by occupying 19th position in the national ranking.

Among those B-schools that accept XAT scores,XLRI,Jamshedpur was the most preferred. The institute also secured the fourth slot in national ranking. And of the B-schools that accept SNAP scores,SIBM Pune led the rest with 16th slot in national ranking.
