Indian MBA Programs Shine in Global QS Rankings

Three Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs) and the Indian School of Business, Hyderabad, have earned spots in the world's top 100 MBA programs, according to the QS Global MBA Rankings 2025. Despite high rankings in employability, Indian MBA programs still face challenges in internationalisation and gender diversity.

Three premier Indian Institutes of Management — IIM Bangalore, IIM Ahmedabad, and IIM Calcutta — along with the Indian School of Business, Hyderabad, have secured positions among the top 100 global MBA programs, as per the latest QS Global MBA Rankings 2025 released on Wednesday.

The rankings, published by London-based Quacquarelli Symonds (QS), place 14 Indian MBA programs on the global list, highlighting their strengths in employability and alumni impact. Stanford Graduate School of Business retained the top spot globally, followed by the Wharton School and Harvard Business School.

''These rankings provide valuable insights for career-driven students making decisions about their education,'' said QS CEO Jessica Turner. While Indian programs excel in employability, challenges in internationalisation and gender diversity remain. Addressing these gaps is crucial for enhancing the global competitiveness and inclusivity of India's leading business schools.
