Is post-MBA salary at ISB only 35,000$ ?

What's the base value of a $ in the list?
Is it US $ ?

Yes, average domestic CTC of ISB class of 2016 is Rs. 22,58,273. Considering current USD exchange rate (Rs 64.35/USD), it equals to $35,000 approx.

Hi Narenn, this is a very well complied list! One question though, why would you put ISB so high up the list and not include IIMA (PGPX) at all?

Thank you for the compliment.

Schools in the list are arranged by their mean rank. ISB's mean rank is higher than that of schools placed below it. IIM-A could not make it to this list for the same reason. It's mean rank is far lower than schools in the list. We might expand this list to top 35 or 40 schools, so as to include other great schools such as IIM-A/B, Queen's, NTU, etc. Give us another week or so.

But Narenn as per the list, ISB is ranked only by FT (at 27), and I know that IIMA is ranked 28 in the same FT rankings. So its not clear what you meant by "mean rank".
I'm not a IIM fanboy, I'm only looking for more information on the schools.

I would also like to know how these schools compare with the US b schools in your opinion? As in where would you place them in the US news rankings?

Yes, but IIM-A was also ranked 92nd by Economist, so if you take average of these two rankings IIMA's average rank becomes 61. One might argue that ISB was not ranked by Economist so it should be ranked below IIMA but then all these things would only make the process complex. May be Economist thought ISB is not worth adding in their rankings; May be ISB did not want to participate in Economist rankings. We never know the reasons, so let's keep things simple.

Only Economist publishes combined rankings of American and International MBA programs, so their rankings are the only source to compare international MBA programs with US programs. Businessweek publishes separate rankings of international MBA programs and US news does not publish international MBA rankings so they are not useful for the comparison.

Hope that helps!
