QS rankings: More Indian B-schools in list, but top three IIMs stumble
India has 19 institutions in the QS Global MBA Rankings 2027, but IIM Bangalore, Ahmedabad and Calcutta fell as global peers gained on ROI and alumni outcomes
The number of Indian business schools featuring in the QS Global MBA Rankings 2027 has more than trebled since 2020, but the country’s three leading Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs) slipped in the 2027 edition as global peers gained ground on measures including return on investment (RoI), entrepreneurship, and alumni outcomes.
The QS Global MBA Rankings 2027 featured 19 Indian Master of Business Administration (MBA) providers, compared with five in 2020 and seven in 2022. Five Indian institutions entered the ranking for the first time this year, while six retained their positions from the previous edition.
