ISB, 12th among the top B-schools of the world

Indian School of Business, Hyderabad, is the only Indian Institute to make it to the Financial Times Global MBA ranking of top 100 B-schools around the world, for the third consecutive year. ISB has been competing with itself and proving itself better every year. While it ranked 20th in 2008, 15th in 2009, it has ranked 12th this year. 

ISB has moved ahead of Yale School of Management, University if Oxford’s Said Business School & University of Cambridge’s Judge Business School.

So what the secret behind this? As per K.Ramachandran, Thomas Schmidheiny Chair Professor of Family Business & Wealth at ISB, excellence & the urge to improve oneself at each level is what does wonders.

The FT rankings not only takes into account the salary that the graduates from the B-school receive, but also their career graph over a period of time.

None of the IIMs figure in this list, because this list constitutes only of those institutes which take in students with work experience. For the 2-year courses that IIMs offer, work experience is not mandatory, and it takes in freshers also. A few of the IIMs have started an executive program that takes in only experienced personnel. But it will take a few years for these programs to be evaluated for the FT list.

Good luck to the IIMs!

Congratulations to the ISB staff & students for making into this list, and also for beating their own rank every year.
