MBA Vs Engineering
One of the anomalies in NIRF Ranking 2018 is that while IITs have been awarded ranking places both in Management and Engineering category, the universities equipped with top MBA departments or affiliated colleges have found no places in Management category. This evident as FMS Delhi, JBIMS, PUMBA have found no ranking positions.
Symbiosis Institute of BusinessManagement (SIBM) Pune, has been ranked for the first time while Great Lakes Institute of Management, Chennai has found a ranking position after a gap of one year in NIRF Ranking 2018.
Claiming that the Ranking Frameworks are similar, the exact methodologies adopted by MHRD are domain specific. Apart from ranking all the colleges, institutes and universities overall, the Ranking methods have been worked out for 5 categories of institutions namely Engineering, Management, Pharmacy, Universities and Colleges.
