ISB ranked 20 in FT global b-school rankings

Alright! I had written a post some time back on how ISB has not taken part in any of the b-school surveys conducted in India and that the aspirations of this school were global in nature. So now, we have the results for the world to see!
ISB has been ranked at the 20th spot in the Financial Times global ranking of b-schools. While all of us here at ISb always believed in the brand and knew that we were one of the best schools in the world, it does help when this fact is upheld by an institution of FT's stature. FT rankings are one of the 3 best rankings in the world followed by recruiters and students all over the world.
A couple of things are noteworthy. ISB is the youngest school to have got into the top 20 ever. ISB is the only school to have straight shot into the top 20 ever.
The ranking was based on attributes like the research papers published by resident professors, the career growth of the batch of 2003, the placement statistics, diversity and a whole lot of other factors, which vindicates the fact that this is not a flash in the pan.
All of us here at ISB are celebrating, but with dignity, humility and sensitivity (In the words of our Dy. Dean).
Go here for the rankings.

Hi - Congrats to you from a 2004 batch alum!

One point: The survey was based on the batch of 2004, not 2003.
