The Results of PaGaLGuY B-school Rankings 2013

It has taken the current slump in MBA hiring for Indian business schools and their students to realise that a recession is not something that happens to other people in other countries. It is perhaps the first April when most Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs) haven't yet declared their placement processes closed, grappling with 5-10% unplaced students from 300+ class-sizes as they are.
With this in the backdrop, the PaGaLGuY B-school Rankings 2013, participated in by 6,824 respondents who recorded their most preferred b-schools in our CommunityRank methodology-driven rankings survey between the mont​hs of December 2012 and February 2013, reflects the deeply conservative mood among MBA applicants and students.
Two things stand out in the PaGaLGuY B-schools Rankings 2013 results,

1. Rankings of b-schools have swung by numbers larger than anything we've seen before
2. Old and government-owned brand names (IIMs, IITs, TISS, etc) have gained the maximum ranks
3. The newest IIMs have swung up by nearly a dozen ranks each

When the times turn bad, people fall back on the old and safe brands, and this sentiment is sprinkled throughout this year's rankings. To provide a more balanced perspective of a b-school's perception amidst the drastic rank swings, we have also show the two-year average of each b-school's rank between this and the previous year.
