IIM Bangalore top Indian B-school at FT Global MBA Ranking 2020

IIM Bangalore climbs six places to 27th rank, just ahead of ISB at 28th position

Indian Institute of Management Bangalore (IIM-B) has become the top ranked Indian B-school in the latest Financial Times (FT) Global MBA Rankings 2020. 
 

The premier B-school climbed six places from the 33rd position last year to 27th this year. Just behind IIM Bangalore is Indian School of Business (ISB) at 28th position, falling four places from 24th last year. 

The FT Global MBA Rankings ranks top 100 global one-year and two-year post graduate programmes for candidates with prior work experience. 

Unlike ISB, the Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs), which offer one-year programmes for executives with prior work experience, qualify for the FT Global MBA Rankings.

IIM Calcutta advanced by seven ranks to 42 from 49 last year for its MBAEx programme. 

Moreover, among the parameters that the ranking was focused on, IIM Calcutta did better than its nearest Indian competitors on categories like value for money, career progress, female student percentage, inclusion of international board members and number of female faculty. 

According to Anju Seth, director of IIM Calcutta, the rankings reflect the best results the B-school’s team of faculty strive for in making the MBAEx programme world class. 

On the other hand, Amit Dhiman, chairperson of the MBAEx Programme at IIM Calcutta, said it was for the third consecutive year that the B-school had improved its ranking significantly.
