The Special Issue this month is our annual feature on India’s Best B-schools. Built from scratch as a modern ranking, the Fortune
India Best B-schools methodology incorporates the most unique ‘Distance-To-Frontier’ benchmark which points to how far any school is from the leading business school. It also incorporates six key parameters — Admission Attractiveness, Age & Accreditation, Placement & ROI, Pedagogy & Infrastructure, Brand Appeal and Industry Connect — in identifying the best. Building this modern methodology involved expert consultations, incorporation of global perspective and elements of evaluation while academic leaders, directors and heads of renowned business schools and senior industry leaders were consulted to re-emphasise the evaluation criteria. Find the winners on page 92. The package starting on page 63 also features: The importance of ‘triple-crown’, the global accreditation that only 1% of B-schools have so far worldwide, while India has three of them; the charm of online MBA; the coming rush of foreign campuses and impact of the National Education Policy on management education. Hope you make the most of it.
Wish you all a Happy Deepawali!
