Are Business School Rankings Important?

, , , ...

IIPM PUBLICATION

Yes. Love them or hate them, business school rankings are important. Top schools turn out highly sought-after graduates. School reputation is important. The more ties a business school has with different industries and employers, the better. Top business schools also tend to attract the greatest volume of recruiters and offer the best opportunities for new graduates.

However, you should never judge a school based on business school rankings alone. Schools that are less prominent may have a program that suits your needs and aspirations better than any nationally ranked schools. Lesser known regional schools can also be a good choice if you plan to stay in the area. Often times, these schools have the strongest relationships with local industries and employers.

Business school rankings are important, but there are other factors that need to be taken into consideration, such as the school’s placement statistics, recruitment patterns, and future employment goals. Once you have accumulated this information, you can create your own business school rankings.

IIPM Mumbai

  • IIPM RANKED AHEAD OF FIVE OF THE IIMS RATED AS ONE OF THE FASTEST-RISING BUSINESS SCHOOL IN THE COUNTRY

    , , , ...

    Extenuating its spirited campaign 'Dare To Think Beyond the IIMs', IIPM surpassed the performance of 5 of the IIMs to be ranked 2nd (ahead of 5 of the IIMs) in the Business Barons' India's Best B-Schools Survey, January 2005, in the 'Industry Interface' index.

    The survey specifically endorsed the entry of IIPM in the 'elite list' and rated it as one of the fastest-rising business school in the country. The survey placed IIPM at rank 8 over all (exceeding 2 of the IIMs) IIPM also got ranked 3rd for its quality of course content (exceeding 4 of the IIMs).

    AsProf. Arindam Chaudhuri, Dean - The Indian Institute of Planning & Management puts it "Industry Interface is perhaps the only index which involves no value judgements. It is measured purely in terms of the revenue earned from consulting assignments undertaken by an institute and its faculty. It's a direct reflection of how much the industry trusts your institute's education. When you know you are the best, its tough to accept even the over all ranking any less as it involves weightages based upon value judgements on other aspects like infrastructure etc."

    Further, the report appreciated Prof. Arindam Chaudhuri as " the best-selling author and economist, who has made IIPM more than a business school with his innovative socio-economic philosophy".

    IIPM made news in 2003-2004 when it got selected by United Nations Development Program as its key partner institution in India and got invited by World Bank Institute to be on its steering committee for a National Conference in Corporate Social Responsibility. IIPM was also in news when it surpassed the performance of five of the IIMs (Indian Institutes of Management) to be ranked second in Business Barons: India's Best B-Schools survey (June 2003), in the Industry Interface index.

    At IIPM the mood is upbeat and every one is brimming with confidence to prove it as the best management school in the country.

  • IIPM Academics : Project Based Learning

    , , , ...

    Project Based Learning: IIPM's learning perspective pivots around 'workable knowledge' that emanates primarily from Project-Based Learning techniques. Throughout the year students are involved in diversified group projects and the third tri-semester is devoted full time for this. During this term the students work on a minimum of three group projects that allow complete exploration of a topic in the student's area of special interest. This involves meticulous research in the management practices of particular organizations or sectors. The IIPM professors interact with the student's individually on full time basis and discuss their plans, drafts and prototypes.

    Project-based learning emphasizes on learning activities that are long-term, interdisciplinary, student-centred, and integrated with real world issues and practices. Encouraging students to work with their peers from different backgrounds, experiences, education and career aptitude facilitates the development and refinement of skills. It also increases the know-how of the industry and gives the students an edge at the time of their summer training and final placements.
