IIM Bangalore listed under top B-Schools in Central Asia



With its continuous effort to offer high-class business education for aspiring IIM graduates, IIM-Bangalore has been awarded as the top business school in central Asia as per Eduniversal 2013 Ratings and Rankings.

The Paris based Eduniversal is a global ranking and rating agency specializing in higher education. The rating agency chooses three B-Schools from nine geographical zones. While National University of Singapore led by Far East Asia, Harward Business School and London Business School topped the list in North America and Western Europe.

The committee considered two essential factors- the international criteria and dean’s vote. However, the latter one is peer assessment where the dean is being asked to highlight an institute. 

Commenting on the status of education I India, Natarajan Krishna Kumar, CEO, MindTree India, said, “Indians have a fundamental philosophy that education is very important and we have a propensity to invest in education, so we present a market of great opportunity. However, when foreign universities come to us, they must realize they cannot bring in the European or American model. They need to build a local product and a local curriculum at an effective cost for India. And they must partner with institutes of global repute here in India.”
