Youth Inc lists the world’s best business schools in order of their rank
Welcome to the Youth Incorporated, Education Times and Rediff.com Global Business School Rankings 2013. Following up to our annual business school ranking, we present to you this year’s ranking based on responses received from the institutes themselves, the current students in the institute, their alumni and from recruiters. Over 1,200 institutes were considered and contacted for the purpose of the survey. All the answers were tabulated and ranked based on a number of criteria including diversity of students, diversity of faculty, innovation of programmes, value for money, and much more. The ranking covers the top 100 institutes in the world to pursue a full-time MBA programme, in order of their rating. It also includes a top 10 ranking based on geographical distribution, a top 50 ranking each for finance, management and marketing specialisation courses, as well as top 50 rankings each for online MBA courses and executive MBA courses. We hope our survey will come to the assistance of any student looking to pursue an MBA programme but unsure of their choice of institute.

Where does India rank overall?What’s different since 2012?
The top three institutes from our 2012 ranking have managed to retain their crown in the same order, i.e. Harvard University, Stanford University and University of Pennsylvania. Harvard University managed a perfect score of 100 just as it did in last year’s ranking. The most noticeable difference since last year’s ranking is the drop of Columbia University from the 4th to the 7th spot. This means that London Business School, INSEAD and IE Business School move up one rank each. Another noticeable change is IIM Ahmedabad, which was India’s only institute to feature in the top 10 last year, dropping 10 places to number 20. Institutes from the USA still hold superiority with seven of its institutes occupying slots within the top 10. However, it no longer holds the mantle of the top 4 as institutes from the UK, France and Spain have moved up from previous positions. The remaining of the top 20 is occupied with institutes from China, Switzerland and India.
Our last ranking for B-schools which was conducted in 2012 saw four Indian institutes make it into the top 100 worldwide which could be considered a good feat. However, the ranking this year shows that three of the Indian institutes have dropped their places considerably. IIM Ahmedabad was ranked at 10 last year but has slipped down to the 20th position this year. It has also lost out on being ranked as the best institute in Asia with Hong Kong UST from China now occupying the premier position in Asia. While the Indian School of Business (ISB) and IIM Calcutta were ranked within the top 20 previously, they have both dropped to lower ranks with ISB slipping from 16 to 23 and IIM Calcutta going from 17 to 21. The only positive outlook from the Indian perspective is the improvement in standards at the S.P. Jain Institute of Management which has moved up from 77 to 61 in the ranking. Unfortunately, there are no other and no new Indian representatives to speak of within the top 100 rankings.

What is an Executive MBA?
Executive MBA, or EMBA, is an MBA degree for people employed in managerial positions. Students continue working while completing the degree, as the programme is meant to complement their real-world experiences and hone add-on skills.
The MBA and EMBA
Both MBA and EMBA are business degrees. The only difference is in the kind of students they teach, how they are taught and their duration.
* While both the MBA and EMBA require graduates, work experience is highly recommended for an MBA, but is compulsory for an EMBA. Some EMBA courses ask for at least five years’ experience and some others are meant only for those in certain managerial posts.
* An MBA degree is taught fulltime. The EMBA has classes on weekends and weeknights in order to accommodate the schedules of executives. Some EMBAs may also be conducted online.
* An MBA degree typically takes two years to complete. An EMBA might take less than two years to finish. This, however, depends on the institute offering the programme.
* There is a notion that an EMBA, because it does not require full-time study, is not as valuable or meaningful as an MBA. This is incorrect. An EMBA has equal worth and is also highly regarded.
* Some companies fund an EMBA qualification for their employees. Employees with high potential and leadership skills are usually sponsored to do an EMBA programme.
PROGRAMME CONTENT
Modules taught in an EMBA course are the same as in an MBA programme. These are usually:
• Business economics
• Human resources
• Finance and accounting
• Marketing
• Operations management
• Strategic management
• Business laws
Additional modules and subjects may be taught as per the curriculum of individual institutes.
CANDIDATE ELIGIBILITY
Candidates accepted into an EMBA programme are usually in the midstage of their career or at a higher level. As with an MBA, the EMBA also accepts graduates in any field. It is not just businessmen and executives who study for an EMBA, even doctors and lawyers are known to have EMBAs against their name.
THE PROS
* Acceptance rates into EMBA programmes are higher than those of traditional MBA programmes
* EMBA candidates need not take the GMAT
* EMBAs accommodate busy schedules of working executives, thus ensuring work and study happen in tandem
THE CONS
* Loss of free time as work and study fill up schedules
* Fewer EMBA programmes than MBA programmes, so less choice for aspiring students
* EMBAs viewed by some recruiters as inferior to MBAs owing to parttime study
CONCLUSION
An MBA degree and an EMBA degree are designed for two very different types of students. An MBA student is someone only three or five years out of college and in the nascent stages of their career. For this student, the degree is more intensive owing to lack of extensive experience. An EMBA student is someone who has been working in their field for around ten years or more, and while they have been out of touch with education, they have ample experience, which dictates that their coursework is not as intensive. However, both courses are rigorous and demanding in their own ways.
An MBA graduate and an EMBA graduate will usually apply for different kinds of jobs as they are both at different stages of their career; thus, it is unlikely that an EMBA graduate and an MBA graduate will compete for the same position.
Therefore, if you are someone who has just started working and are looking for a competitive edge, you should study for an MBA. If you are some way into your career already and are expecting to take on a senior position, an EMBA would be better suited to your needs.

MISTER POPULAR
30% college students around the world are now pursuing online courses. according to Reports, the online MBA is the most popular online graduate degree
WHAT AND WHY?
Online MBA programmes have become increasingly popular since it allows a professional to pursue the degree while engaged in a full-time company position. Thus an online MBA allows the student to gain both experience and an educational qualification during the same period of time. Online MBA courses have online lectures which can be attended at any time of the day.
COMPARISON
A study conducted by the New York Times found that students pursuing an online MBA displayed better results than those pursuing a full-time MBA. A full-time MBA programme requires the student to
be physically present in the classroom for all courses and a distance learning programme may need occasional visits while an online MBA has no such requirements.
TYPES OF ONLINE MBA
All-online programmes: The all-online course does not require the student to visit the campus of the institute for any purpose. All educational course material is made available online.
Combination programmes: Combination courses are a blend of distance learning and online MBA where some courses are completed online and few in a classroom.
THE BENEFITS
* It is extremely convenient since it just requires a computer with an internet connection; no travel time or costs required
* The student is free to attend the lectures at any time of the day – morning, after work, during an office lunch break, etc
* The admission policy is less rigid as compared to full-time MBA courses so it is easier to attain admission The drawb acks
* Online MBA courses require completion of a certain number of log-in hours in order to complete the course
*The lack of classroom debates and conferences deprives the experience of learning from peers
* The biggest disadvantage is the lack of networking since there is no interaction with professionals from their field during the online course
BOTTOM LINE
By itself, an online MBA may lose preference when compared with a full-time MBA but a person with an online MBA and work experience will always have the added edge. Most importantly, an online MBA is only credible if it is recognised by national accrediting bodies. Double check the authenticity of the programme with the respective regulatory body of the country they fall under.

RANKING METHODOLOGY
HOW DID WE CHOOSE INSTITUTES?
We chose 1,200 institutes across the world after having discussions with students, recruiters and faculty. We also consulted professional organisations such as AMBA, EQUIS and AACSB. Youth Inc’s Research Unit (YRU) also studied domestic rankings in various countries to find the best institutes. All the institutes were sent identical surveys. We then contacted current students, alumni as well as local and international recruiters and gathered specific information about the institutes.
FACTORS CONSIDERED
1. Recruiter perception
Identical surveys were sent to recruiters worldwide. The recruiters were asked to rate the institutes that they were most likely to recruit from. The recruiters were also asked to rate the students they have recruited from specific business schools on several criteria including leadership potential and strategic thinking.
2. Diversity of Students
The institutes were asked to report the total number of students on campus and what percentage of the students were international and speak two or more languages. Gender diversity of the students was also considered.
3. Diversity of faculty
The institutes were asked to report the total number of faculty on campus and what percentage of the faculty was international, hold a doctorate degree and accredited with their own publishing material. Gender diversity of faculty was also considered.
4. Innovation of programmes
We considered the different ways to construct degree programmes as well as the choice students have in terms of selecting electives.
5. Innovation in teaching methodologies
Institutes were asked to select different teaching methodologies that we considered innovative. Some of these included company visits, dual or multiple majors and course collaborations between different departments at the institute. Our list was selected after surveying students across different campuses worldwide.
6. Value for money
We considered students and alumni opinions on whether a particular institute was perceived as ‘value for money’. We also asked institutes to state the percentage of students who received some sort of funding from the institutes.
7. Campus support
We asked the institutes, current students and alumni to select the different types of assistance provided by the student office or a similar body on campus. Our list was selected after surveying students across different campuses worldwide.
8. Career service
We asked institutes, current students and alumni about the availability and functioning of a career service cell and how active such a service was for the students. We also considered what percentage of students were actually placed through the institute’s career service cell, how long it took for such placements and what the average starting salaries were.
9. Exchange programmes
Institutes were asked to report the percentage of students that opted for exchange programmes. We also considered the exchange students present on the institute’s campus.
10. Student satisfaction
Current students and alumni were asked to rate their institutes on various factors including career services, attitude of staff and professors, location, and course content.
Actual Methodology
We sent invitations to 1,200 institutes. Institutes were provided a password using which they could send us their completed survey online. They were asked to answer questions relating to full time faculty, career service, student and programme information and all the factors listed above.
We contacted current students and alumni of the institutes and asked them to rate specific statements which were pertaining to the factors we considered in this ranking. All the institutes preferred to send the survey links to their students and alumni directly.
Over 12,000 recruiters were sent emails with a survey. The recruiter list was prepared from the responses of the institutes and also included internationally well known recruiters. The recruiters were asked to enlist institutes that they were likely to recruit from.
Information reported by recruiters – 40%
Recall of institute where to recruit from 10%
Likelihood of recruiting from same institute again 10%
Overall satisfaction with students recruited 10%
Satisfaction with institute career cell 10%
Each factor was made up of a set of questions. The total percentage attributed to that factor was based on the average score of the responses multiplied by the assigned weightage. We then totalled the score from all factors and sorted the scores from highest to lowest. The institute with the highest score was ranked first.
Not just numbers!
After we received the total computed scores for the institutes, we subjectively analysed the data provided by the institutes, current students, alumni and recruiters. If we found discrepancies in the satisfaction scores and the subjective descriptions, we omitted the data.
INSTITUTE THAT DID NOT FILL OUT THE SURVEY REPORTS IN TIME
Out of 1,200 institutes that were contacted, 260 institutes did not complete the survey on time or did not respond. We used publicly available information on the institutes to include them in our ranking. We also contacted current students, alumni and recruiters of these institutes and compared the data we received with the data from institutes that did participate.
SPECIAL NOTE
Master in Finance – The programmes include the preexperience as well as the postexperience Master programmes. The ranking also includes the programmes which are recently established.
Master in Management – Certain Master of Management programmes with specialisations are also included in the ranking.
Master in Marketing – Combination courses of marketing with communication and other fields are also included in the ranking.
Online MBA – Certain factors such as campus support and exchange programmes were omitted in the factors considered for the ranking.
Executive MBA – Certain factors such as campus support and exchange programmes were omitted in the factors considered for the ranking.

Its no surprise that the Indian institutes have fallen so much. The quality of education in India is dropping rapidly.
I have been following the Youth Inc Education Times rankings for 2 years now and although I have not seen any major changes in the ranking you guys did last year, I am disappointed that only 4 Indian universities made it to the rankings. We would expect more!
SP Jain went up from last year? I hope this is their Mumbai program because the Global one is just about ok.
Yes Dhruv, its for Mumbai program. The name of college specified is SP Jain Institute Of Management and that is in Mumbai. The one is Dubai is SP Jain Centre Of Management.
Congrats to INSEAD! The best business school in Europe!
Where are the other IIMs? And no IITs?
Kavita, this is ranking of Business schools and hence why would the IITs be there?
For the Executive MBAs, which Indian institutes should be considered?
Congrats to ISB! In such a short time, it is now a Global Business school.
I want to do an Online MBA. Which colleges should I apply for?
Where I can get more information on some of the colleges lister heer?
Its good that the recruiters were given so much importance in the rankings because ultimately we want good jobs when we graduate.
Its no wonder that Indian colleges are good value for money. They are half the cost of the colleges which are foreign
I just these rankings on rediff.com but I am glad there are more details here
How difficult is it to get into Harvard?
Congratulations to the University of Cape Town for once again making it to the top schools.
It’s interesting how US universities are dominating all these rankings.
Indian colleges are total crap.
Dont talk nonsense..there are some very good Indian institutes besides just the IIMs and IITs.

That was very useful and interesting information. Online MBA in Operations Management looks at the underlying concepts of the production and
operations function of an organization, and are generally divided into two
areas. The first is the study of service operations, and the second is
manufacturing or production operations..
