The ranking is based on surveys of the business schools and their alumni. Assessments are done on the basis of career progression of alumni, ideas generated and student and faculty diversity. This ranking features the world’s best 100 full-time MBA programmes.

Professor R. Srinivasan, director Incharge, IIMB, gave credit for this ranking to all faculty colleagues. They, “as part of the EPGP and admissions interview committees, recruit a high-calibre cohort for the programme and as professors put them through a demanding learning experience in their course offerings,” he said.

On why their programme was world class, IIMB faculty said continuous support was provided to all students by the EPGP office through the programme. Career Development Services also matched students’ expectations with recruiters’ specific demands. The Alumni Office was also continuously engaging with EPGP alums and connecting them with the larger IIMB alumni network.
