The Indian School of Business (ISB) has been listed as one among the top 20 global B-schools by the Financial Times yearly MBA 2008 rankings. The achievement is particularly notable, as the ISB is the first B -school from India, to have found a place in the FT’s B-school league table.

M Rammohan Rao, Dean, ISB, said, “This is a landmark event for the ISB. It sums up our single-minded goal to be recognized as a global centre of brightness in business education. This ranking is an important highlight in our journey to be an internationally top-ranked research-driven and self-governing management institution that grooms leaders for the world.”

The FT ranking is calculated on the basis of 20 criteria covering specifics like career progress of graduates, compilation of the MBA experience, global mobility of alumni, ideas generation and research, etc.

Ajit Rangnekar, Deputy Dean, ISB, commented, “We are proud to have played a part in positioning India and Andhra Pradesh on the global map of business education. The FT ranking raises the bar even higher for ISB, and we are prepared to assemble future expectations.” The ISB, in its sixth year now, has continually endeavored to excel on all parameters required to be placed among the best global B Schools, and in a amazingly short period of time has romped into the top 20.
