PGPX ranked 11th in Financial Times Global Ranking!

That was one long hiatus… Let me not bore you with the reasons, but let me (once again) resolve to post at least once a month.

I am very happy and excited to share the news that IIM Ahmedabad (IIM A), my alma mater has been ranked 11th in the recent Financial Times Global Business School Ranking. This ranking covers all those programmes which admit students with substantial work experience and the intake into PGPX is mainly based on the work experience of the candidates.

One more heartening news in this context is that this is the debut ranking for IIM A and this is the best ever debut by any Indian Business School – currently there are only two Indian schools in the top 20. Do check this link where there is a summary about the rankings – near the end of the page there is a paragraph about IIM A’s impressive debut.

FYI couple of the news releases –

PGPX FT Ranking Communique – This is the Communique from the current batch of PGPX students about the FT ranking.

My batch-mate Shanmuga Sundar exactly mirrored my thoughts when he said “There was never a doubt that IIMA added value in my life! The ranking is a scientific way of confirming that there is value in it for the future PGPX aspirants!”.
