India’s Top 50 Non IIMs B Schools Survey 2025

The 2025 edition of our exclusive “Top 50 Non-IIM B-Schools Survey” sets out to spotlight these rising giants and established names that are making a definitive mark in management education. From legacy institutions with decades of impact to agile, new-age B-Schools embracing innovation and digital fluency, this ranking showcases diversity, adaptability, and academic excellence beyond conventional benchmarks.

Our methodology is built on credibility and comprehensiveness — covering parameters like faculty quality, industry interface, placement performance, alumni strength, research output, global partnerships, infrastructure, and student satisfaction. The survey also integrates feedback from corporate recruiters, academic leaders, and students to ensure a 360° evaluation.

More than just a list, this edition serves as a decision-making guide for aspiring MBA candidates, academic collaborators, and corporate recruiters looking for high-potential talent beyond the IIM circuit. It is also a celebration of the institutions that are daring to differentiate — those who don’t just teach management but practice it in vision, strategy, and execution.

As we unveil India’s Top 50 Non-IIM B-Schools of 2025, we invite you to explore the innovation, leadership, and transformative learning that power these institutions forward.
