The 'A of B Ranking' aims to present a multi-dimensional picture on India's leading B-schools. The Top 10 Indian B-Schools including the 6 IIM’s as well as the Top 10 B-schools excluding the 6 IIM’s have been arrived at via a consolidation of two individual survey results – the Aspirants’ Survey & the Deans’ Survey.

The survey was conducted on an all-India basis and did not include international institutes. Only those B schools that run a 2 year, full time management programme were considered.

In addition to the Top 10 lists, the 'A of B Ranking' survey has rankings under several other categories- some which were covered with Aspirants and some which were covered with Employers.

The Rankings also cover B-School with the Best Campus; B-School with the Best Faculty; B-School with the Best Quality of Education for the Fees Charged; B-School with the Best Placement Record; B-School with the Best Reputation Nationally/Internationally; B-school which provides the Best Status Symbol; B-School which has the Best Alumni Network; Which B-School Graduates make for the Best Brides/Bridegrooms; B-School with Best Gender ratio; B-School with the Best Social Events & Parties; B-School with the Best Management Festival.
