Look at the top 5 schools they have ranked and it will speak volumes about their flawed approach/methodologies. Even, in India, ISB is considered second rung by recruiters.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19649274.post-71387069930063744182009-01-28T16:58:00.000+05:302009-01-28T16:58:00.000+05:30The Indian Institutes of Management, all 6 of them...The Indian Institutes of Management, all 6 of them, didn't participate in the Financial Times survey. So we have a few more world class institutions than indicated by the Financial Times ratings, though the value of debating which of these within India should be rated higher is itself debtable. Of course we can't ignore the startling fact that the Indian Institute of Technology Mumbai and the Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad are cycling downhill at a great pace while continuing to enjoy a high altitude with no pedaling,compared to their counterparts, mainly due to "past glory".Indian Investorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17573660403834168695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19649274.post-9858140360388520442009-01-28T13:21:00.000+05:302009-01-28T13:21:00.000+05:30I appreciate your view on the system as an Academi...I appreciate your view on the system as an Academic Dr. Shah, but reputations do take as you say a few decades to establish. In the sense that to the layman a graduate degree from an IIT would probably be more recognisable, then one from the ISB.<BR/><BR/>Its great that a private Indian institution has preformed well in terms of rankings and I am guessing the major point you make is that there are lessons that the country can learn from its success that that the government can and should apply to its own educational institutions.<BR/><BR/>But I think it would be unfair to say that the ISB's reputation could be compared to the IIT just yet, based on what business school rankings have been saying for the last couple of years, largely because they have been defined as India's elite institutions for decades. <BR/><BR/>Even if they do produce better quality professionals, its a snob's world unfortunately, and perception often trumps reality, which is something that could probably be said about the world in general.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
