The Outlook-ICARE India MBA Rankings survey is a 100 percent outcome-based evaluation designed with deep industry insights and supported by solid research. The private institutes in India that offer MBA and equivalent management degrees are evaluated on globally relevant and employability-oriented characteristics in this survey.

The Outlook ranking is based on several parameters such as Faculty-Student Ratio (FSR), Research Productivity and Quality, Faculty with PhD, Faculty Experience (Teaching/Corporate), Gender Diversity, Regional Diversity, Median Salary and Employability. Outlook uses data sourced from NIRF, AISHE, UGD, AICTE, NAAC, mandatory disclosure of institutions and institute websites to produce the all India rankings, annually.

Higher education systems are rapidly expanding around the world to meet the growing need and demand for education. In a globalised world, more access to higher education improves individual opportunity as well as country economic development and competitiveness. Quality and accountability have become increasingly important to governments and educators around the world in this changing environment. Rankings, ratings, and national evaluation and accrediting systems have substantial implications in many developing nations, particularly on higher educational institution governance and internal management, as well as connections between institutions and governments, and between institutions and its stakeholders.
