The day is 28th jaunuary, 2008. I enter into office and open my outlook. It is a mail from an alumni stating ISB makes it to top 20 in FT global b school ranking. The moment strikes me straight in head. Boss, here all discussions have led to a way which states, anything in top50 to start with is fine, and this is 20. AMAZING!!
But let me verify this. I click on link and am almost ready to shout in joy. Woooo!! A friend of mine over the weekend said 15 lakhs for a b schools, God knows stands where. I said a b school with an average GMAT of 710 is bound to stand somewhere, but then yes, it might take sometime.
And today, there is this proof, that its done in an year, ISB is ranked 20. No joke, indeed a proud moment for nation. We dared to face the world straight in 5 years and achieved a status which is just not a joke.
The ranking has proven the credibility. This might help us attract geographically diverse crowd in years to come.
However,this blog goes to the young(5 yrs), beautiful(Infrastructure) and successful(FT ranked 20) ISB. ( A friend of mine gave these adjectives and i loved them. )
Cheers!! For the day when the term IVY league will be changed for the history of b schools. :)

All credit to the school, faculty and numerous research groups that have made this possible. It is certainly no mean achievement and comes at the right time for us who shall be part of the incoming batch.
I'm interested in seeing how this rating is maintained in the coming years - esp. when the batch strength is proposed to be increased.
today is the day of all rankings
