As can be seen, many of the top b-schools in India are included in the list but the news has come as a mixed bag for the b-schools.
IIM A, B Drop 10 Rankings Each
IIMA and IIMB have both dropped 10 positions down on the rankings as compared to last year. While IIMA has dropped from the 40th position to 50th, IIMB now holds the 54th position instead of the 44th that it did last year. However, IIMA still continues to be the best MBA college in India as per the QS Global MBA Rankings.
Prof Rishikesha T Krishnan, the Director of IIM Bangalore, has said that he plans to discuss the drop in these rankings with his colleagues. He has also expressed concern on Indian schools showing a collective decline in the rankings.
