@Ashish
Its generally known that these are the top colleges…i dont think everyone has to follow one concept of ranking
I have been following and giving CAT for last three years.I guess MDI ranks in top 10 ,higher than SP Jain, according to its reputation for over last 3-4 years and IMT and NMIMS, XIMB IIT are at same level and better than Symobiosis and IMI.
The intention to create this article is to provide the list of Top MBA colleges in India. It is certainly not given in the ranking order. The ranking order differ every year and the organizations who rank the colleges.
XLRI Jamshedpur announced Management Courses for Working Execs. Its a great chance to be in one of the best India’s B School. You could register in http://www.inmagis.com/ for more details
Institue of Finance & Management (IFM) – Lucknow University should also be ranked in top 20 in India. Institutes should talk for MBA as a 5 year programme like any other professional course such as MBBS & Engg. This will certianly reduce stress among youngsters and society.
