Considered one of India's most credible and prestigious rankings, Business India Rankings documents the changing landscape of management education and throws up a lot of surprises. As an important result of the survey, GIBS has been given this ranking by examining it on several parameters. For this, a very detailed and scientific survey method has been used so that the transparency of the ranking is maintained. This ranking, specially designed for B-schools, is based on a 360-degree assessment that balances the main pillars of a B-school. These include inputs (student quality and diversity), processes (faculty, academics, research, and international recognition), and outcomes (placements, startups, etc.). There is an elaborate, multi-step process where due weight is given to the data available about B-schools in the public domain and the opinions of experts. This unique blend of expert opinion and objective data makes this the most accurate taxonomy available. Objective parameters include placement data, cut-off scores in entrance examinations, location of the B-school, age and image of the B-school, and programme fee. Experts, based on the school's brand image, alumni base, and faculty strength, form the subjective part of the process.
