Monday, March 31, 2014An OMS Initiative with The Times of India

Times Group partnered with The NielsenCompany to conduct its annual Times B-

School 20-14 survey to determine the top B-Schools in India.

The research process was a multi-stepone, with the first shortlist of thequalifying B-Schools arrived at by thefollowing criteria fulfillment:

AICTE / AIU/ UGC / Autonomous / State-recognised and should have at least threepass- out batches

With the application of above criteria we gota list of approximately 1,500 institutes To determine the ranks, a formula based on aperception score (from an in depth interviewconducted among academic experts) and anobjective score (factual data furnished by theB Schools) was evolved.

STEP 1: Desk research was conducted togenerate the list of B-Schools for the surveyand secondary research which areAICTE/AIU/UGC approved and have at least 3pass out batches. Suggestions from expertswere also included. A comprehensive list of approximately'1,500' B-Schools was drawn up STEP 2: Collection efforts for factual datacollection from the shortlisted B-Schools(approximately 1,500) were made. Collect factual data from respective B-Schools on selected parametersSTEP 3: Using factual scores, a list of Top 215B-School was finalised further for theperceptual round, which was conductedwith four stakeholders – Faculty, Students,

Recruiters, and Young ProfessionalsPerceptual ratings were collected onselected parameters for each B-School.

Pedagogy Faculty InfrastructureInd. Interaction Value for MoneyPlacement Global Expo Brand Value

STEP 4:A final score was obtained combining‘Factual’ and ‘Perceptual’ scores applyingweights at the stakeholder, parameter andPerceptual - Factual level. The weightageswere arrived at bases stakeholder’sopinions. After assigning these weights, thescores were indexed to 100.

Thus the methodology of ranking, basedon both perception and factual data,provides a comprehensive picture of each BSchool rated

NOTE:The short-listed B Schools in Step-2; which were contacted for factual data but were not able to provide

the same in stipulated time, were not considered for the ranking process.

IIM A, IIM B, IIM L, ISB Hyderabad, MICA, FORE, BIMTECH and BIM Trichy declined to participate in the

survey results and scores are not comparable with those of the last year's, since this year's methodology is

different.

Development of world-classsyllabi and pedagogies is thefirst point of benefit that GU-SOB's industry-oriented ap-proach yields. The faculty andstudents have reaped rich div-idends in terms of world-classeducation, as industry-led syl-labi are always up-to-date andhave huge depth and rele-vance. The finest interna-tional pedagogies and educa-tion processes come into playwhen education is outcomes-based and industry-guided.Industry leaders are usuallyinvited to co-create the edu-cation infrastructure set upby Galgotias University, keep-ing in mind that the end-out-

come is rooted in serving in-dustry. When industry think-ing and direction is involvedin the development of talentthroughout the educationprocess, 100% placement is anatural outcome, as is amplycorroborated in national me-dia surveys.

A wide array of blue-chipindustry partners have en-tered into strategic allianceswith Galgotias University andthese collaborations have re-sulted in excellent intellec-tual capital development sys-tems and best-in-class global-level education infrastruc-ture.

Education is not a one-way street, stu-dents and faculty need to meet to ex-change ideas and deliberate. Empha-

sis should be on thinking and reasoningskills and prepare students to function ef-fectively and come up with innovative so-lutions. Hence, there is a lot of emphasis onexperiential learning. New-age B-schoolsbelieve not only in development of knowl-edge but also in enhancing ability to use thatknowledge. For the education to keep pacewith changing needs, industry support istaken in developing curriculum and indus-try leaders are regularly invited to interactand with the students.

Two new-age B-schools that have definitelymade a mark are Universal Business School,Mumbai and Indian School of Business(ISB).

UNIVERSAL BUSINESS SCHOOLUniversal Business School (UBS) is set up

by CEOs who have led global businesses inover 100 countries and hence understand theneeds of the industry. It fulfills the need fora B-School built by Industry for Industry.Itis the only B-School in India endorsed by 60leading CE0s, which allows them to leverageIndustry in developing the core curriculum,teaching by Industry leaders and providingplacement opportunities. As an outcome,pro-fessionals shaped by this institute are in tunewith requirements of the corporate worldand are well equipped to fulfill them.In 2013,

in recognition of its contribution to indus-try, the leading industry body ASSOCHAMawarded UBS "The Best Upcoming B-Schoolin India" Award byDr.Pallam Raju, Hon'bleHRD Minister, Government of India.

KEY TO SUCCESS: UBS Chairman Gurdip Anand elucidates

the reasons for its success, "We are inspiredby the Apple way, which is the most successfulcompany in new era. Like Apple, we employexceptional hardware (infrastructure) andsoftware (knowledge and Faculty), and donot compromise on these critical factors. Thefoundations of UBS are based on the 3E Mod-el of Ethics, Experiential Learning and En-vironment. We believe that inculcating lib-eral thinking infused with Ethics, CorporateGovernance and CSR along with imbibingGreen thinking into the students' everydaylife will result in our students contributingsignificantly to Industry."

COURSES:UBS is the first Indian B-School to offer

an International MBA Degree from CardiffMetropolitan University, UK which is ap-proved by AICTE, Government of India.Mr.Anand states, "We are truly Internation-al and are the only B-School to have Inter-national students, international Faculty, aninternational Dean, global Board of Gover-nors, foreign Employees along with an in-ternational degree, curriculum and inter-nationally stylized campus by internation-al architects."

UBS offers an accelerated intensive 15month MBA program, employing the Euro-

pean and British model. It gives the studentsa one year advantage and gets them aheadof the competition by achieving their MBAin half the time.Though it requires great ef-fort on part of students as well as faculty, it-not only doubles their ROI as compared toother schools, but also prepares them to facechallenges in the workplace environment.Companies accept this and are looking fortalent who can do the job in half the time,more efficiently.

INNOVATIVE APPROACH:UBS is constantly innovating and has

Evolved from the need for a world-classbusiness school in Asia. The founders, someof the best minds from the corporate and

academic worlds, anticipated the leader-ship needs of the emerging Asianeconomies.

They recognised that the rapidly chang-ing business landscape would require youngleaders who not only have an understand-ing of the developing economies but whoalso present a global perspective.

It’s become increasingly apparentthat MBA programs are woefullyinadequate preparation for thejobs that await aspiring

management professionals. TheMBA's value as a training program formanagerial talent has dropped,companies were finding it hard to findrecruits who could hit the groundrunning and be productive from thefirst day on the job, and B-schoolsacross the world have failed insupplying that capability.

Since 2012, ITM Group ofInstitutions have been rebuilding theITM PGDM program from the groundup, with the specific goal of preparingour students for the next generationwork-force. We call this completelyrebuilt program, the ITM PGDMiConnect.

What is iConnect?iConnect is a new approach to

addressing the challenges of the next-gen workplace: experience workingwith teams, core business know-how,excellent communication skills,strong analytical abilities and more.

iConnect is designed to meet manyof these challenges. Doing away withpurely classroom-rooted methods,iConnect seeks to open up the world tothe student, bringing together theforces of academics, self-development,professional development and realwork experiences together into acohesive and mentored learningexperience.

ITM Business Schools 6 campusesoffer the AICTE approved ITM PGDMiConnect, including uniquespecializations as Financial Markets,Retail Management, InternationalBusiness, SCM & Operations, PharmaManagement and Digital Marketing,in addition to mainstreamspecializations in Finance, HRM andMarketing.

The campuses are located in

Nineteen years is not a longtime in the life of an insti-tution. For many, it is a

time of trials and tribulations,as the institution comes to gripswith the paradox of growth andconsolidation. The Indira Groupof Institutes has been tremen-dously gifted with the talent ofleadership, organisational skills,excellent faculty, committed stu-dents and an enabling climatethat helps students and teachersalike to grow into responsibleand value based citizens of In-dia. For Indira, this journey be-gan in 1994, in Pune. The firstsession at the Indira Institute ofManagement began with itsMBA Program with a batch of 60students. Students, who dared todream of a great future for them-selves, and their country. The in-spiration came from the never-say-die Chairperson of the ShreeChanakya Education Society, Dr.Tarita Shankar who has spear-headed this institution into one

of the finest in Pune and amongthe top 50 B-Schools in India -ranked by multiple reputedagencies and publications likeThe Economic Times, among oth-ers.

The B-Schools of the IndiraGroup deliver cutting-edgeknowledge in the different as-pects of Management - be it Mar-keting, Operations, Human Re-source, or International Busi-ness. Basking in the success ofits MBA Program, The IndiraGroup of Institutes successfullyconducts its PGDM Programs,approved by AICTE, in two of itsprestigious campuses, the IndiraInstitute of Management and theIndira School of Business Stud-ies. The students have done theorganisation proud time andagain, winning coveted B-School

awards across the nation and repeating the feat every singleyear. Thus, be it presentationskills, case studies, pure academ-ics, performing arts or businessplan models, the students of In-dira have been at the top of thepodium every year. Recruitershave not been far behind in mak-ing their admiration for the Indi-ra product known - year afteryear! The reason for their stellarperformance is not far to seek -the faculty at Indira is the pickof the teaching fraternity -hands on experience coupledwith passion for learning, not

just teaching; since everyteacher believes that learning isa sure precursor to the ability toteach; and endless learningalone can ensure never endingteaching. Ceaseless interfacewith industry and interactionwith the best in the business ofbusiness is what keeps us notjust in touch with the times butlooking well ahead of the pres-ent. In a span of a mere 20 years,Indira has logged more achieve-ments than was considered pos-sible by many… and the bestachievements are yet to come!
