The Indian Institute of Management Bangalore (IIMB), one of the leading management schools in the world, has been ranked # 6 in the Asia-Pacific region in the QS Global 200 Business Schools 2009: The Employers’ Choice, published recently by Quacquarelli Symonds Limited. IIMB is the only Indian management school to rank amongst the top ten, which includes business schools in Australia, Singapore, China and Hong Kong.
“I am delighted that the QS report, which is an independent international survey, has rated IIMB amongst the top ten business schools in the Asia-Pacific region” says Professor Pankaj Chandra, Director IIMB. “The votes given by employers demonstrate the confidence placed in our students. Global companies consistently recruit from IIMB for their international operations. The votes endorse the contribution made by our students to their organizations. ”
Significantly, IIMB at sixth place has improved on its ranking from the ninth place it received in the previous 2007-08 report. The survey also states that the average GMAT score of students enrolled in the Post-Graduate Programme in Management at IIMB is 780, which is the highest in the entire region – testimony to the talent and caliber of students at IIMB, and why IIMB continues to be a preferred recruitment destination for global positions.
The Employers' top 10 preferred schools in the Asia Pacific region are:
INSEAD Singapore, Melbourne Business School, NUS, AGSM, CEIBS, IIM Bangalore, Macquarie, HKUST, Monash and Nanyang.
The “QS Global 200 Business Schools 2009” originated in the early 1990s as an alternative to business school rankings and until this year has been known as the “Global Recruiters’ Top Business Schools Research”. The report provides a list of 200 business schools currently preferred by the most international employers for the purpose of hiring MBA graduates. This list is compiled from an annual survey of Human Resources (HR) managers and line managers with recruiting responsibilities at companies around the world. Each year employers recommend new schools to be added to this list, which employers around the world can then rate and comment upon.
Quacquarelli Symonds Limited (QS) was established in 1990 and comprises a team of over 100 highly diverse representatives from five continents and has its main offices in London, Paris, Singapore, with satellite offices in Alicante, Beijing, Johannesburg, Sydney and Washington DC.
