Somebody can explain this?

Dont pay too much attention to FT. Moreover, when you see a ranking always look at the methodology. If you want to go to IB/ Finance jobs then do you think you will pick University of Rochester over H/S or NYU over Wharton?

Iday ...

if you look closely ... i think there are 5 schools just around the spencers area on anna salai. So 1000 would be a good estimate )

Creep,

i dunno about the b school rankings ... but i have to agree with you that Mika was the best.

Hi Guys...

Can any one throw light on the European schools in the rankings...

It seems that INSEAD, IE, LBS and IMD are among the top institutes and have quite evolved in terms of rankings....

Other schools like HEC, RSM, Oxford and Cambridge are still struggling to reach to the top.

Your inputs please as to which is better among the best?

Thanks
