India's Best B Schools!

The Top 90 management institutes in the country have been divided into five broad categories. A numerical ranking often does not have a sound scientific basis. The parameters and, more importantly, the weightages given to these tend to be extremely subjective. Given below is the categorisation of the Top B-Schools. Please note that within each category, the B-Schools are listed in alphabetical order – there is no ranking or grading WITHIN each category.
The Top 10 are the so-called 'Ivy-League' institutes that every student dreams of getting an admission into. Many of these institutes are comparable with the best in the world. The "A+" & "A" categories of institutes are those that fall into the Top 30. They offer a high quality of education in terms of faculty quality and infrastructure facilities. These institutes usually have a 100% placement record. The "B+" category of institutes offers a consistent quality of education in terms of faculty and infrastructure facilities even though these may not be comparable to those of the top institutes. These institutes are successful in providing placements to their top students, especially those with good communication skills, but do not have a 100% placement record. The "B" category of institutes are those that are well regarded at a regional level. These institutes may not provide too many national level placement opportunities but are generally successful in providing placements to many of their students with prominent regional level companies.
