IIM-A among top 10 global B-schools in FT survey

The FT report ranks the top 70 programmes in management that do not require students to have work experience for admission

The Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad (IIM-A) is once again the only Indian institute to be ranked among top 10 global B-schools in the Financial Times (FT) Masters in Management 2012 Rankings. IIM-A was ranked for its flagship post graduate programme in management (PGP).

The FT report ranks the top 70 programmes in general management that do not require students to have prior work experience for admission to the masters programme or, in other words, pre-experience masters degrees.

However, IIM-A slipped three places from rank seven last year to 10th rank in 2012 FT rankings.  Moreover, in 2010, IIM-A had debuted at the FT Masters in Management Rankings at the eighth rank.

In addition, the premier B-school is ranked number one in terms of placement success and number five in careers rank.

The rankings give weightage to weighted salary in US$, value for money, careers, placement success, international students and faculty, women students and faculty, course fee and length, among others.
