IIM Udaipur Joins the Prestigious FT Master in Management Ranking 2019

IIM Udaipur - Indian Institute of Management (IIMU) has now become part of the prestigious Financial Times (FT) Master in Management (MIM) Ranking 2019, positioned at 76^th rank. IIM Udaipur is one of new entrants to the list. Till 2018, only three IIMs, including Ahmedabad, Bangalore and Calcutta, made it to the global ranking. 

The FT ranking measures a number of factors, including compensation and career progress for alumni; value for money; representation of schools (female faculty, students and board members); international experience and research; and internships for students. After acquiring Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) accreditation in November 2018, IIM Udaipur was eligible for the 2019 Financial Times MIM ranking, which includes top European, Asian and North American B-schools.

"IIM Udaipur began its journey with a clear vision in place that included a commitment to thought leadership in high-quality research and the development of managers and entrepreneurs ready to become the leaders of tomorrow. The Institute has been carefully developing systems and processes since day one that has helped them to be in today's FT MIM list.
