PaGaLGuY B-school Rankings 2008

Welcome to the PaGaLGuY.com B-school Rankings!

For several years, various B-schools rankings have been telling us where we ought to be fulfilling our MBA dreams the coming summer. However, none of them succeeded in capturing the order of business schools that the country’s best talent actually wanted to go to, despite what the rankings said.

We thus decided to place the power of ranking India’s business schools in the hands of the people in an unbiased manner. Throughout November and December 2007, we polled 5,410 MBA students, aspirants, alumni, recruiters and academicians using our innovative CommunityRank model and here we are, with the most credible and accurate list of India’s 76 Most Preferred Business Schools. The PaGaLGuY.com B-school Rankings captures what India thinks about its business schools and an accurate reading of the brand perception that B-schools have.

We analyze the rankings in the following pages and help you make better sense of how you can use them to your advantage.
