Welcome to the third edition of the PaGaLGuY.com Business School Rankings. In the 2010 rankings, we have gone beyond what we have done in the previous years. We had an extended data collection period and this has helped us in ensuring the ranking is more accurate. Furthermore, due to the extended data collection we are now also able to display regional rankings. This is the first year we are doing regional rankings and we hope to increase this to more regions over the years.

In the meantime, here are links to some of the more important updates in the CAT realm.
