Indias best B-school not on London paper A-list

<p style="text-align: justify;">For the third year in a row, IIM-A has failed to make the global list of top-100 business schools published by The Financial Times (FT), London. On the contrary, Indian School of Business (ISB), Hyderabad, has climbed from 15 to 12 on the list.<img style="border: 3px solid black; margin: 3px 4px; float: right;" src="https://images.shiksha.com/mediadata/images/1264653561phpRH0qzT.jpeg" alt="" width="113" height="115"><br /><br /><br />IIM-A got an Equis certification in 2008, an accreditation mandatory for participation in the rankings, yet it stayed away from the flagship post-graduate programme (PGP) for FT&rsquo;s ranking of masters programmes in management.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><br />As the results were released and buzz went around that ISB had moved up, the anxiety was palpable on IIM-A campus. The institute&rsquo;s director Samir Barua was not available for comment but promptly posted a clarification on the IIM-A website.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><br />&ldquo;The latest rankings of MBA programmes by FT have caused concern among a few of us. This is a clarification on the matter, based on the information provided by the FT team that decided the rankings. IIM-A&rsquo;s flagship programme, PGP, did not qualify for inclusion in the list [MBA programme rankings] since it is not a post-experience programme [it does admit candidates without work experience],&rdquo; he said.</p> <p><strong>Source: http://www.dnaindia.com</strong></p> <p><strong>Date: 28th Jan., 2010</strong></p> <hr /> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>For further details about related courses and colleges please click below:</strong></span><br /><br /><a title="Related courses and colleges" href="https://management.shiksha.com">Related courses and colleges</a></p>
