Methodology

Like each year, the B-school ranking for 2022 was determined by the BW Education research team. The team conducts surveys measuring the B-schools of our country against 10 broad parameters and 50 sub-parameters.

BW Education invited more than 500 institutes to participate in the survey. The data for the ranking was sourced either directly from the institutes, through public records, or from secondary sources. The ranking also took into account a perceptual survey conducted among industry and faculty members. 

The perceptual survey was carried out by BW Businessworld with 1,000 stakeholders who were asked to rate the B-schools they were familiar with on a 10-point scale. The stakeholders included 250 aspiring students, 250 current students, 350 alumni, and 150 recruiters.
