Eduniversal Worldwide Business Schools Ranking 2010 conducted by French consulting firm SMBG has awarded the IIMB ‘5 Palmes,’ the highest recognition accorded to “universal business schools with major international influence”.
The study positions IIMB in the top 25 amongst the 100 best business schools worldwide. Only two Indian B-schools are featured in the Top 100 –– IIM Bangalore at 24 and IIM Ahmedabad at 55.
The results of the annual survey conducted among the deans of 1,000 business schools from Eduniversal Official Selection were officially announced in Prague, the Czech Republic, at the Third Eduniversal World Convention. “The acknowledgement from an independent international firm consolidates our status as a leading international management school,” said Professor Pankaj Chandra, Director, IIMB.
“Over the past years, we have made significant enhancements to faculties, curriculum and infrastructure. We have obtained EQUIS accreditation and are taking steps to further diversify our courses and offerings so that we continue to remain the business school preferred by postgraduate and doctoral students throughout the Asian region,” he added.
The Eduniversal ranking takes into account all aspects of a business school’s influence at three different levels –– international recognition through accreditation, memberships and international, regional and local rankings; international awareness through the votes of the 1,000 deans; and suggestions from the members of the International Scientific Committee appointed by Eduniversal.
