IIM-A adjudged country’s number one B-school

The rankings have been made by business news channel CNBC-TV18 with management portal MBAUniverse.com and research agency TNS.

The report says: “In a first of its kind research and analysis, the ‘A of B Ranking’ survey looks at three different viewpoints to present the complete 360 degree picture on which are India’s leading B-schools.”

For the analysis, data was first collected directly from the IIMs and other business schools. The opinion of over 5,000 stakeholders, including recruiters and people from the management community was then taken, which was finally analysed by TNS.

But the surprise in the quantitative rankings comes from the New-Delhi based International Management Institute (IMI), which is ranked at number 8.

The other B-schools in the top-ten list are: Bhavan’s S P Jain Institute of Management & Research, Mumbai; Shailesh J Mehta School of Management, IIT Bombay; and Jamnalal Bajaj Institute of Management Studies, Mumbai.

The detailed finding of this survey will be available in the form of a special 200-page guidebook.

According to CNBC TV 18, the rankings guidebook will be on the stands by November 12. Apart from the rankings data, the guide book will carry advice to MBA aspirants on how to choose the right B-school, the student-life at B-schools, as well as tips on doing well in management entrance exams.
