The post graduate programme for senior executives (PGPMAX) of Indian School of Business (ISB) has been ranked 43rd globally in The Economist's ‘ Which MBA, executive MBA programme’ rankings.
The ISB, which operates two campuses in Hyderabad and Mohali, also gained the distinction of being the only B-school in India on the list.
The Economist's ‘ Which MBA’ executive MBA ranking is a comprehensive ranking of executive MBA courses around the world. ISB's PGPMAX is a 15- month global executive MBA level programme for senior-level employees with a minimum of 10 years of work experience.
Two broad measures
The Economist has ranked the programmes on two broad measures - personal development/educational experience and career development. ISB's global ranking was ascertained based on parameters which included percentage of faculty with a PhD, managerial work experience of senior executives; percentage increase of salary (pre and post programme); quality of the programme .Classes that were surveyed for rankings included students of PGP Max class of 2020, alumni of class of 2016, class of 2017 and class of 2018.
“ The Economist’s global ranking vindicates that ISB’s educational programmes equip its students and professionals to become globally competitive and facilitate them to become future-ready,'' Rajendra Srivastava, Dean, ISB, said in a statement on Tuesday.
``With the fast-evolving global scenario, businesses should become more sensitive and flexible in tackling unpredictable challenges, and ISB, through its multi-pronged approach, is redesigning its educational models to address this imperative,'' the Dean said.
ISB's PGPMAX is a 15- month global executive MBA-level programme for senior-level employees with a minimum 10 years of experience that facilitates them to further hone their analytical, strategic, and leadership skills.
