The Top 30 Ranks

A list of the B-Schools that Nearly made it to The Top 30 Ranks in the B&E-ICMR B-School Survey. And well, They Might just Make it Next Year!

Now jump back in that analogy, and you’ll realize why any research that deals with bringing out the list of best B-schools in the country cannot ignore the views of the most important customer set –experienced corporate leaders! For it is these top management leaders who will be able to give feedback on the intricacies of how and what makes a great B-school and a greater B-school student.

That is why Business & Economy had decided to unleash a new paradigm in B-school surveys in the Indian context when it launched a unique concept for ranking India’s top 30 B-schools last year. We shortlisted the top 30 B-schools based on our survey conducted across the main metros of India, but the final ranking among these 30 B-schools was done by five top corporate leaders from the industry. We supplied this unique and distinguished panel with all the relevant data and information they needed on the top B-schools for giving their final scores to the B-schools. From these final scores, we got our final list of rankings. And this procedure, which is unprecedented in the history of B-school surveys in India, is unrivalled in its credibility and authenticity, since the results come from those who have absorbed these very B-school graduates on a regular basis and have over decades realized how well or otherwise these students have performed. Therefore, they logically know exactly what works and what doesn’t.

Now an annual feature, India’s most authoritative B-school survey repeated the core process and methodology we followed last year for 2010-11, but the list of corporate leaders has only got larger, more diverse and far richer. This time around, we took the list up to twenty – the who’s who of India Inc. representing outstanding management leadership across geographies, across sectors and even across management functions. Unequalled, unparalleled, unrivalled, the illustrious panel list for this year’s B-school rankings is as follows:  Dr. Wifried Aulbur, MD and CEO, Mercedes-Benz India, Michael Boneham, President and Managing Director, Ford India, Sandeep Aneja, MD, Kaizen Private Equity, V. Balakrishnan, CFO, Infosys Technologies, Sumeet Nair, Chairperson, Fashion Foundation of India, Subrata Dutta, Chief Operating Officer, Samsonite South Asia Pvt. Ltd., Gautam Dutta, CEO, Cinemedia, PVR Ltd., K.M. Nanaiah, MD, Pitney Bowes, Pankaj Dubey, Business Head, Yamaha India, Girish Vaidya, Independent
