ISB?s PGP Ranked in the Global Top 20

Updated on: Wednesday, February 02, 2011

The Post Graduate Programme in Management (PGP) of the Indian School of Business (ISB) has been ranked No: 13 in the Global Top MBA rankings 2011 released on January 31 by the Financial Times, London. It also recorded the highest “Salary percentage increase” among all the top 100 schools. This is the fourth successive year that the ISB has featured in the top 20, reinforcing its reputation as a world class institution. During this four year period, the ISB’s PGP class size grew by over 35% to a current size of 570 students.

Ajit Rangnekar, dean of ISB said, "ISB entered the global rankings in 2008, and with each passing year, has cemented its position among the top 20 schools globally, while simultaneously growing significantly. Our commitment to providing a world-class experience to all our stakeholders remains unwavering, and is reflected in our consistent showing at the rankings. I take this opportunity to thank the entire ISB community, and extended community of stakeholders across the world, for being part of this success.”

Marking a new development, two programmes from Indian institutions have entered the rankings for the first time this year – PGPX of IIM - Ahmedabad (at 11) and GMBA of SP Jain Center of Management, Dubai / Singapore (at 68). The increase in the number of Indian, and other Asian B schools in the rankings over the past few years, reflects the rise in prominence of the region. This positive development could help spawn a cluster of high quality management institutions in the region that will attract the best talent from across the world, and create an environment conducive to path-breaking research. The ISB takes pride in being a vital catalyst in this trend.

Now in its tenth year, the school is launching series of impactful initiatives to enhance business leadership in various segments, augment its research focus, and provide meaningful careers for both young and senior professionals to enhance their careers.
