NIRF 2017 Management rankings

Q: What is the NIRF 2017 Management ranking?

It is the official NIRF 2017 ranking list for the Management category, with rank, score and institution details.

The official NIRF 2017 Management ranking in this database contains 50 ranked institutions. Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad leads at rank 1 with a score of 78.96. IIM Bangalore is second and IIM Calcutta is third.

Among institutions classified by NIRFRank, 23 are government and 18 are private. XLRI Jamshedpur is the leading private entry at rank 9 with a score of 61.08. The list covers 19 states and 38 cities. A smaller rank number is better, and scores should be compared only within the same category and year.

Movement compares each year with the preceding available edition. Newly listed means absent from the comparison year, not necessarily a first appearance. Absence does not establish why an institution is missing. Rank changes alone do not explain changes in quality.
