One Year MBA in India Rankings

The criteria used to rank one-year MBA programs in India is not nearly as comprehensive as the criteria used to rank two-year MBA programs (in India!) There are only a handful of esteemed global publications that mention top-notch one-year Indian MBA programs. Two of these are the Financial Times London and Outlook.

It must be mentioned that the FT Global MBA Rankings rank IIM Bangalore’s EPGP, IIM Ahmedabad’s PGPX, and IIM Calcutta’s PGPEX programs. Their two MBA programs are NOT included in these rankings. The reason being that the FT Rankings only include those MBA programs that require all applicants to have work experience. The one-year MBA programs that the IIMs offer also require work experience. However, the two-year MBA/PGPM programs don’t have this requirement.

Outlook is a major current affairs magazine. It published one-year MBA rankings for 2018 on September 26. 2018. Its rankings gave more weightage for perception. More than 50% of the total 1,000 points for ranking went towards the selection process, the institute’s image, academic excellence, and personality development. However, major inaccuracies don’t make these rankings reliable.
