"It is a great news for Indians that three of their IIMs have been ranked among the best 50 in the world for their Masters in Management Programme. We have used some unique indicators for this particular exercise. Our focus has been on finding out what is making students more employable. We received more than 40,000 responses asking for which employers recruit for masters and which recruit for MBAs and on the basis of their response we have been able to come up with different rankings," Simona Bizzozero Director of Communications for QS told DNA over phone from London.
"We also tracked alumni of some of the best institutions to access the kind of position they are in. We tracked more than 49,000 alumni as a part of our exercise. The other factor that we looked at while deciding on the rankings was how long does it take for a student to pay back his investment. When it comes to MBAs, it takes almost 51 months to have real return on investment considering the time spent on work," she added.
After releasing University rankings under a single umbrella, QS is now focusing on special disciplines, to start with they have released rankings for management institutions. "When students look at a university's rankings, they want to know about programme, which is why we are now focusing on discipline specific rankings. In future we will take it to STEM subjects also, but to start with we have released management rankings," she added.
