World's Best MBA Programs

Every year The Economist published the 'Which MBA?' rankings of the world's best MBA programmes. This year's list is out! 



Here's what The Economist has to say on the latest rankings:

Dartmouth College's Tuck School of Business takes first place in The Economist’s
ninth annual ranking of full-time MBA programmes, up from second
position last year. Virtually all of its students found work within
three months of graduating. Its MBAs could expect a basic salary of
$107,000, a 65% increase on their pre-degree earnings. Tuck students
also graded the quality of their alumni the best in the world—an
important consideration given the often-repeated claim that who you meet
is just as important as what you learn. Chicago drops to second, having
come top last year, while the world’s most famous school, Harvard, also
drops a place to fifth. Europe’s top programme is IMD, a Swiss school,
which ranks third. Though INSEAD has campuses in both France and
Singapore, no purely Asian school makes our top 20. Hong Kong
University, at 36th, is the highest-placed.

The Economist asks
students about why they decided to take an MBA. Our ranking weights data
according to what students say is important. The four categories
covered are: opening new career opportunities (35%); personal
development/educational experience (35%); increasing salary (20%); and
the potential to network (10%). The figures we collate are a mixture of
hard data and the subjective marks given by the school’s students, such
as a rating of their school’s facilities. 

I suggest that you check out the full rankings page (see below). Click on the name of the school, which will lead you to a veritable treasure trove of information on business schools. For your information, the highest ranked Indian school is the Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad(IIMA), coming in at 78.
