This mecca of management education and research retains its numero uno position for years in the Business Today-Nielsen rankings. No other B-school in the country exerts the kind of pull that IIM-A does on wannabe MBAs and recruiters alike. Though many other schools have caught up with or even bettered IIM-A on some of the parameters on which the B-schools are judged, they lack its brand appeal.

IIM-B is also one of the most important centres of management research with a huge knowledge database. PREVIOUS YEARS’ RANKING - 2004:2 | 2005:2 | 2006:2 | 2007:2 | 2008:2 | 2009:2

Apart from its regular two-year MBA course, Faculty of Management Studies' USP has been its programme for working executives that it has been running successfully since long before one-year programmes came into vogue. If it were not for the limitations that being a department of a university imposes on it, FMS would certainly finish in the top three. PREVIOUS YEARS’ RANKING - 2004:6 | 2005:3 | 2006:9 | 2008:9
