Top 20 B-Schools of India in 2008 - My Ranking

Every year about 4 lac candidates compete to get into B-Schools in India. Out of these, about 3 thousand make it to the top 20(crème de la crème) schools. In this article, I rank the best of the best B-Schools of the country.
The Objective:
A dozen different magazines publish B-school rankings. However, it is any ones guess how genuine these rankings are. Since none of the B-schools agreed to pay me money to put them on my ranking, I couldn't help but come up with an authentic and unbiased ranking.

I have interacted with many MBA aspirants this year and have taken their inputs on the perceived value of the top B-schools of India. This ranking is a reflection of what the actual MBA aspirant believes. Only Indian B-Schools with 2-year MBA/PGDBA programs have been included. As my comprehensive research is still going on I might update the ranking from time to time.

The Criteria:

1) Present and long-term brand name perception

2) Placements

3) Return on investment

4) Quality of students and toughness of entry-level competition.

5) Infrastructure and intellectual capital.


The Ranking:

1. IIM Ahmedabad and IIM Bangalore

3. IIM Calcutta

4. IIM Lucknow

5. IIM Indore and IIM Kozikhode

7. XLRI Jamshedpur

8. FMS Delhi

9. SJMSOM - IIT Bombay and DMS - IIT Delhi

11. NITIE Mumbai


12. MDI Gurgaon

13. SP JAIN Mumbai


14. VGSOM - IIT Kharagpur 

15. IIFT Delhi

16. JBIMS Mumbai

17. NMIMS Mumbai

18. XIM Bhuvaneshwar

19. IMT Ghaziabad

20. SIBM Pune


Yours truly, till recently, was an MBA aspirant. Now, he is packing his bags to join one of the above mentioned schools for a two-year MBA experience. The journey to one of the top-20 B-schools has been memorable. Ofcourse, the best part - the actual MBA program - is yet to come :).

Comments and reviews from readers, as always, are welcome.
