i feel this wud b least controversial ranking so far. at least outlook is not insane like BT which ranks sybiosis at 4 (ahead of 3 IIMs , MDI, XLRI, SPJain, FMS, NMIMS, IIFT, JBIMS, NITIE and SJMSoM) and ICFAI at 9 (ahead of IIM-K , MDI, SPJain, FMS, NMIMS, IIFT, NITIE and SJMSoM) and many more such ridiculous such examples.
i feel this is one of the most comprehesive ranking done in last few years. no major controversial ranks given. yes, IITs shud have been included but i really doubt the need for including ISB or other 1 year programs, as they cater to different set of students( work ex more than 5 years). So far as IIPM is concerned the mystery will always b there. but over all this ranking is much better than BT ranking where as asually symbiosis is ranked insanely at 4.

Try Symbiosis and NMIMS. Stay away from IIMs, XL,NITIE. you will surely get into Symbi and NMIMS but remember they are not top institutes

Mr. Purushottam Sejul, if such a senario has happened to you, than its really unfortunate, first thank ur luck that you are alive and dont blame India for ur bad luck, there are many who are not alive to tell their tale...
Among top ten business schools which are situated in Big Cities and Metros' it is quite heartening to find XLRI from small city of Jamshedpur, in the 5th rank. It rank has been consistent in spite of inclusion of new IIMs etc having big budget and state-of-the-art facilities. Our congratulations to XLRI team.
B-School ratings are just dependant on the writers whims and fancies and all this hi tech variables attached are misnomers and they misguide the prospective students. 1 Magazine has another list and other another. Please dont follow the ratings, its just a way to increase the subscription of the magazine. BEWARE!!!!

B-School ratings are a myth.it is true. I am a MBA myself. I know of one instance when one of these magazines came to our school and asked the B-school management for an advertisement subscription in their magazine for 10 lacs. They said if we wnet and place the ad then they would give us a good rating.
This is how the thing goes. I remember in one year an institute like IIPM was ranked higher than IIMs. Folks it is all marketing. We should not believe these rating after all.
MBA education is becoming a Investment. Do this survey has criteria such as FEE Structure wrt to salary offered. You will get shocking results if such parameters are intorduced here. There are relly few institutes left in 'Eductaion of Business'.....rest are in 'Business of Education'.....guys and gals reply with some names of institutes which work with really low operating cost and gives quality education...any names?

I too agree..B schools rating should be done on FEE strucure and also consider the performance of the students who got in to these B schools with the help quotas..and because of our politicians quota vote bank..all real talented students are not able to get in to the B shoools..it's insult to the highly educated youths

A few good ones with good ROI are FMS Delhi Jamnalal Bajaj (JBIMS), Mumbai Sydenham Institute ( SIMSREE), Mumbai IRMA
IIPM brings out full page advertisements regularly. Perhaps IIPM is adverised more than many popular FMCG brands! Where do they get so much money from? After such ad expenses and expenditure on swanky buildings, are they left with any money for running the courses? There should be some curb on fake institutions like IIPM fleecing students.

I am very amused to see IIPM ads in most of the newspapers frequently - that too full page with photos of their centres and promotor - xyz choudhary . If IIPM consider themselves as one of the best B schools in India, why so much ads are required to promote themselves. I have not seen any ad from XLRI Jamshedpur or IIMs (except XAT/CAT exam notices) promoting themselves as one of best B schools in India. By over-advertising IIPM has proved that it is a worthless institute.
