ISB has done it again!!!
Global MBA Ranking 2008 saw Indian School of Business at the 20th position but 2009 has been quite different. Indian School of Business has climber 5 positions this year and has been ranked at 15th position in the Global MBA Rankings conducted by the Financial Times.
ISB has managed to overtake some of the Prestigious Institutions in the world like Yale School of Management,University of Oxford,Northwestern university, Kellogg etc.
ISB, Dean Rao said, "It is indeed a great feat for us. At this point we also need to re-examine our strengths and our weaknesses, building on our strengths and improving in our areas of weaknesses. Our position in the FT ranking will certainly spur other Indian B-schools to participate in a similar way. This means tough competition for us, but in the long run it will be for the betterment of the society."
Ajit Rangnekar, Deputy Dean, ISB, added Our vision six years ago, was to be top ranked globally. It was met with much scepticism and doubt then. Today, we are perhaps the youngest school ever to have made it in the top 20. We have scripted our own version of a T20 victory, so let’s celebrate. Rangnekar added that the celebrations will of course be conducted with dignity, humility, and sensitivity.
Sanjay Kallapur, Associate Dean, Faculty Development said, It is a great honour for the ISB to be ranked among the top business schools of the world. The FT ranking is the first independent endorsement of our success in meeting our vision to be an internationally top-ranked, research-driven, independent management institution that grooms future leaders for India and the world.
ISB is one of the youngest Schools to achieve this feat. It has just taken ISB to take 6 years to be in the top 15 colleges. Strangely IIM's have never been able to figure in the Top 100 of the Global Rankings.
