QS rankings assess employability and academic influence
The QS methodology evaluates how effectively programmes prepare students for employment, the professional achievements of alumni and the financial value of the degree.
It also considers an institution’s academic and research influence in business education, along with diversity among students and faculty.
IIM Ranchi strengthens international profile
The latest recognition comes after a series of international milestones for IIM Ranchi.
Earlier this year, the institute secured Association of MBAs (AMBA) accreditation, strengthening its standing among globally recognised management institutions.
IIM Ranchi was also recognised in the QS World University Rankings for its Executive MBA programme, where it was placed in the 201+ global band and ranked 33rd in the Asia-Pacific region.
