Need for adopting International Accreditation in India
Globally, 716 business schools in 48 countries and territories have earned AACSB Accreditation. China has more than twenty AACSB accredited B-schools.
While India has 3500+ MBA programs, only three Indian B schools have earned AACSB Accreditation. However of late India is catching up with 43 AACSB members in India, second only to China.
AACSB International announced its new accreditation standards that focus on Innovation, Engagement, and Impact in management education in 2013. To cater to the needs and to guide on its accreditation standards in Asia, AACSB also set up a dedicated office in Singapore a few years back. AACSB Singapore office has substantially increased the capacity to advance quality management education in Asia. AACSB Membership and Accreditation in the region have grown 118% and 147%, respectively.
