Position in Indian Business-School Rankings

In July 2006, in the Business Today-AC Nielsen ORG-Marg rankings [5], IIPM (New Delhi) was ranked #11 and IIPM (Mumbai) #16 among 30 institutes polled, with a sample of 526 respondents comprising MBA aspirants, current MBAs, human resource professionals, young executives and functional heads of organisations. The schools were ranked using AC Nielsen's Winning Brands model. Respondents were asked to rank 30 shortlisted Business-schools on eight parameters - reputation, success of placement, quality of placement, infrastructure, faculty, teaching methodology and specialisation and admission eligibility. Based on the scores on different parameters, the model calculates the Brand Equity Index (BEI) for each school.

MBA Students ranked IIPM New Delhi #5 (jointly with FMS, Delhi), which was also the 8th most recommended B-School with 3% of the votes. 2% of the respondents mention IIPM New Delhi as their "First Favourite" (Joint rank #7). In all other rankings in this survey (For example, ranked by Functional Heads, Young Executives or "Top of mind") only the top 10 colleges are listed, and IIPM does not figure in them.

Business Today-A C Nielsen ORG-Marg's 2004 listing of India's top 30 Business-schools (Source: Business Today. Oct 10, 2004; pg 96) ranked IIPM Mumbai at 23rd and IIPM Delhi the 30th.

The Outlook C-Fore Business-School survey[6] had ranked IIPM Delhi 4th in Industry Interface, 7th in International Linkages, and 8th in Extra Curricular activities in 2003. The Business Barons Business-School Study 2004 (Source: BUSINESS BARONS. Jan 31, 2005; pg 65) has ranked the Indian Institute of Planning & Management (IIPM) 8th overall in India. Five parameters were used for the qualitative rankings - infrastructure, placement salaries commanded, depth of industry interface, quality of course contents and quality of students.

IIPM states, though, that "Rankings don't matter" and it has "strong reservations on the methodology applied by most of the magazines to rank B-schools".[7]
