IIM Bangalore Ranked 24th, IIM-A 55th in Top 100 Business Schools in World


BANGALORE: In the latest ‘Eduniversal Worldwide Business Schools Ranking 2010', Indian Institute of Management Bangalore (IIM-B) was ranked 24th among the 100 best business schools worldwide. IIM Ahmedabad has been ranked 55th in the list. Notably, only two Indian B-Schools feature in the Top 100.


IIM-B has been ranked 24th after the votes of the 1,000 deans of the Best Business Schools from 153 countries and suggestions from members of the international scientific committee appointed by Eduniversal. The process involves a global mapping system meeting the criteria of universality and the international reputation of each academic institution.


IIM-B has also been awarded with ’5 Palmes’, given to the top 100 business schools. The purpose of the ‘Palmes’ is to compare objectively a school of a given country or continent to another one.

This acknowledgment from an independent international firm consolidates our status as a leading international management school,” Professor Pankaj Chandra, Director (IIM-B) said.
