It's that time of the year again when business sources all over the world are churning out their B-school rankings. The first one to do so for this 2012 year is The Financial Times. I have always been a lover of the FT rankings because I think this is the only one credible source that is not very U.S. biased. Although I believe that B-schools in the U.S. in general have a stronger edge over the ones in other parts of the world, it does not change the fact that there are several good schools elsewhere that provide an equivalent experience as the ones in the U.S. And for an applicant looking to settle in a certain part of the world, it does not harm to go to one of the best B-schools established in that specific region/country because your odds of capturing the best jobs in that region then highly shoots up.
Looking at how India faired, there were two schools that made it to the FT Top 100 Global MBA Rankings this year - Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad and Indian School of Business, Hyderabad. While IIM-A kept its position strong at Rank 11, ISB slipped seven spots down to Rank 20. Still, I think it's a great achievement to see these two B-schools from India make it to the Top 20 and leaving behind big names such as Cornell, Cambridge, Yale, Oxford, UCLA, UMichigan, ESADE, Rotterdan, UVA Darden and Emory.
India has truly come a full circle in the education sector with such recognitions. It is no longer just a place for global firms to hire technical minds from the IIT's but India has now become a hub for these companies to recruit for some of their highest management level positions. With such schools as IIM-A and ISB, India is now churning out Directors, VPs and CEOs for big companies all over the world with such candidates earning salaries that are no less than what are being offered to students graduating out of any top tier schools in the U.S. It is a good time for India and for those working on their careers, it is a good time to be in India. :-)
