India’s noted management education capability has got another name to contend with — Indian School of Business, a Hyderabad-based business school that has been ranked among the top 20 such institutions by Financial Times, London.

ISB is the first business school from India to have found a place in the FT rankings. None from the premier Indian B-schools from the Indian Institute of Management stable has ever made it to this list, which has ranked ISB as 20th best globally.

“While the average student experience at ISB is 5 years, the IIMs have students with a lesser experience, as such, the two are non-comparable,” ISB Dean M Rammohan Rao said in a statement.

“We wish to see many more Indian B-schools follow the trend and reach where we are today, or even ahead of us,” he added.

ISB has affiliations with three of the world’s renowed business schools – Kellogg School of Management, The Wharton School and London Business School, and 5 per cent of its total student intake consists of international students.

The FT ranking was calculated on the basis of 20 criteria covering specifics like career progress of graduates, diversity of MBA experience, international mobility of alumni, ideas generation and research.
