Indian Management - Business Standard Best B-school Survey 2014 - REVISED DATE is 25th March 2014



Business Standard, has been conducting a survey of B-Schools for the past fourteen years which is published in Indian Management, the journal of the All India Management Association. Based on very encouraging feedback from various stakeholders, we have decided to continue the project this year also. Accordingly, the fifteenth survey of B-Schools is being conducted. The results will be ready by May 2014.

The response to the 2013 survey was very encouraging. A large number of B-Schools participated in the survey to make it the most comprehensive survey in India. We believe that participation in a survey of this nature gives a B-School the opportunity to take stock of its resources and to see it from a focused perspective of reaching out for excellence. It also helps B-Schools benchmark against the best in the field, find their own niche and direct their efforts to moving up the ladder. It also helps showcase the resources to the various stakeholders most objectively.

It has been always our endeavor to make the survey totally objective, unbiased and help benchmark the B-Schools in addition to providing authentic information to all the stakeholders. We have again commissioned IMRB International, the leading research agency in the country to undertake the survey.

We are enclosing a copy of the questionnaire. 

We would appreciate it, if you could send the questionnaire duly completed along with the required attachments by 25th March, 2014 to

I am sure that your co-operation and participation in the survey being undertaken by us will go a long way in furthering the cause of management education in the country. The survey will be brought out in ‘Indian Management’ latest by first week of May 2014. Its findings will also be published in the Business Standard daily newspaper.
