This assessment has brought forth some other interesting findings, such as PGPMAX being ranked #11 in the standalone programme category in Asia. The school is ranked #12 globally in terms of salary today (Average alumni salaries three years after graduation).

Professor Rajendra Srivastava, Dean ISB, underlined that global ranking from FT is indeed a proud moment. “The rankings not just highlight the relevance of the PGPMAX programme but also the importance of an Executive MBA for the working professionals. It becomes more critical for the experienced executives to equip and brace themselves up to be ahead of the curve with the current circumstances. The need of the hour is to reinvent and gear up to meet uncertainties & looming challenges.”
