Indian Institute of Management Calcutta bags top honour in BT-MDRA Best B-schools Survey 2021

Abstract

For the first time in several years, the BT-MDRA Best B-schools survey has unearthed a new winner. Indian Institute of Management Calcutta (IIMC) has been ranked No. 1 in the 2021 edition of the prestigious survey, which also saw a record 305 institutes participate in an exercise that took over three months. In a close contest, IIMC pipped IIMA by a mere 0.1 points (897.2 versus IIMA's 897.1). Last year's top-ranker IIM Ahmedabad (IIMA) topped three of the five primary parameters this year (learning experience, living experience and Selection Process, Governance & Establishment), and IIMC topped in the other two (placement performance and future orientation). But it was IIMC's big score in future orientation that finally helped it topple the perennial favourite for the first time.
