Looking beyond IIM’s
There is absolutely no doubt that IIM’s are the most sought for and reputed institutes in India but there are other options also available which offer excellent courseware at par with IIM’s. Most of them have an excellent track record in offering high quality education and students from these institutes get the pick of corporate and management jobs directly from campus itself. To simplify your B-School selection we have tried to rank India’s top B-Schools. In India there are hundreds of B-schools but we have tried to limit our classification to the better and more known B-schools. Before taking final decision about admission in any of these B-schools it’s prudent to have a word with students of the current batch, talk to the professors of the institutes, chat with few of their alumni and visit the websites of the institutes for detailed information. The broad parameters on which these B-schools are ranked and judged are- Placement records of the last five years, Faculty, geographical location, proximity of B-schools to business hub, interaction with alumni.
