The judgement day finally arrived on 28th Jan'08, when FT published the global ranking of top B-schools from around the world. Quite astonishingly, ISB had positioned itself at the 20th place in that ranking. It was a indeed a moment of proud, not just for the ISB fraternity, but for the whole of India as a nation. Not only ISB had surpassed the likes of Duke, Haas, darden and its own ally Kellogs in the overall ranking, it had topped the specific category rankings of highest salaries for consulting and finance.
Until now, people have been keeping their fingers crossed and kept wondering as to where does ISB stand vis-a-vis globally top ranked B-schools. No there wasnt an iota of doubt wrt its world class infrastructure, extremely talented faculties drawn from top B-schools, a diverse student mix, research oriented curricullum. Still this kind of recognition is what's needed to put it on the global map and establish it's true reputation. FT is considered one of the most reliable sources, for MBA aspirants from around the world, of comparative analysis of different MBA program. The criteria used for the ranking are comprehensive and data are processed to make the comparisons reasonably accurate.
ISB is, thus now, one of the youngest institutes to make it to the top 20 and the only indian one in that list. from the very onset it had established a vision for itself to be a globally top ranked, research driven business schools which would strive to groom business leaders who would not only take on the challenges of ever evolving business world but will set new trends of leadership and enterpreneurship. This ranking has substantiated the fulfilment of the vision to a great extent and now will draw in talents from around the world to an even larger extent.
It may prove to be a much required thrust to India's march to becoming a global force to reckon with and will help boost our confidence .
kudos!!!! to ISB, to India.......
