Mr Nitish JainSP Jain School of Global Management has become the youngest school in The Economist Top 100 MBAs rankings for 2015.
SP Jain School, a young 11-year old school joins IIM Ahmedabad, a 50-years old legacy institution, in the ranking.
The Economist MBA rankings along with Financial Times and Forbes are the most prestigious MBA rankings in the world and SP Jain is the only school of Indian origin to get rated in all three.
“The latest ranking places the SP Jain in the company of Ivy League schools like Chicago Business School, Harvard, MIT, Sloan, Kellogg, Wharton and other great international schools,” said Mr Nitish Jain, President of the SP Jain School of Global Management.
“Yet, what makes SP Jain Global stand apart is that it is the youngest business school in the world to be in the company of giants,” he added.
In August, SP Jain was ranked by Forbes as the 10th Best International 1 Year MBA in the world.
For the last 5 of the 11 years, SP Jain has been ranked among the best schools in the world. FT ranked it in 2011 and 2012 in its Top 100 Global MBA list, then Forbes in 2013 and 2014 as Top 20 Best International MBA, and now in 2015 both Forbes and Economist as ranked the School in the top 10 and top 100 respectively. These are the most prestigious and regarded MBA programs in the world.
Mr Jain elaborated on the success, saying “when the School was first ranked internationally around five years ago, it came as a surprise to many, since the School was not well-known then. Now, five years of consistent rankings have placed the School among the best business school in the world and has enabled the School to attract high quality students from around the world. We have reimagined business education and this is what produces graduates that are much sought after by global companies. The rankings vindicate that the new model really works.”
Mr Jain said the school is exploring opportunities of setting up campuses in other countries, expanding from its Dubai, Singapore, Sydney and Mumbai centres.
SP Jain School began with its first campus in Dubai in 2004, followed by the Singapore campus in 2006, Sydney 2012 and Mumbai this year. fii-news.com
