Where do IIMs stand in the global ranking and why?

Mostly, the global rankings on most of the websites cannot be trusted as such. The one which I will use is the Financial Times Global MBA rankings which seem to be a reliable source. The good news is that the top three IIMs managed to secure positions in Top 100. You will be surprised to know that the top among Indian Universities is not and IIM but is the Indian School of Business (ISB). According to the 2017 rankings ISB ranks 27th while IIM Ahmedabad ranks 29th. But for 2016 IIM A was at 24th position while ISB was at 29th. IIM Bangalore ranks at 49th position I.e. way below ISB and IIM A. Then IIM Calcutta just manages to make a cut at 95th position. Actually speaking, the ranking system takes in account many factors which work against Indian universities. For example research is given a lot of importance in the rankings but as we know our colleges don't pay much heed to research part. There is some good research going on but it is very limited. But, if you want to work in India after MBA, IIMs are a really good choice and as a matter of fact offer better ROI as compared to foreign universities. All the best.
