University rankings are followed by the applicants to get an understanding of the resources, quality of teaching school's reputation. These rankings are also considered as an indicator of employment prospects after graduating a business school.

In 1988 business week came with the first rankings evaluating business schools and now there are various sources available to prospective MBA applicants. Some of the available rankings are carried out by: Asia Inc., Business Week, The Economist, The Financial Times, Forbes, US News & World Report, and The Wall Street Journal

These rankings need to be interpreted with care. On the one hand they can be very useful sources of interpretation for current students, faculty, prospective applicants and recruiters. On the other hand, the criteria of ranking, if followed inappropriately can paint a wrong picture while selecting the school. We suggest you to follow the ranking to get a quick idea of the schools which interest you because of location, class size or job function you intend to join and then carry a detailed study by contacting current students, alumni and admission office. The admission offices are very friendly and their staff always helps the prospective applicants.
