NIRF MBA Rankings 2021 - Strange Or Accurate?

The NIRF MBA Rankings of 2021 have been released by the MHRD! In 2021, to no one's surprise, IIM Ahmedabad, IIM Bangalore, and IIM Calcutta have taken the top spots to emerge as India's leading business schools. However, certain peculiarities in the rankings raise a question about the reliability of the NIRF MBA rankings. For instance, the IITs have pipped institutes such as SPJIMR, NITIE and MDI Gurgaon to feature amongst India's top ten business schools. Institutes such as IIFT Delhi feature below Great Lakes. Within the 'Perception' parameter, a new IIM has ranked well above the likes of IIM Indore, XLRI and SPJIMR, while MDI Gurgaon has been ranked below IIM Nagpur, and NITIE Mumbai has been ranked below Chandigarh University. In 2020, 56 percent of the InsideIIM MBA community rejected the NIRF MBA Rankings. How accurate are the latest NIRF 2021 MBA Rankings? Here are all the key highlights.

Is Practice The Only Way To Ace CAT 2021's LRDI Section?

Over the last few years, Logical Reasoning & Data Interpretation (LR-DI) has become the most grueling yet important section of the CAT examination. The reason why the focus on this section is ever-increasing is the shared annoyance for it by students of all streams. Hence, this spotlight is expected to remain. The unstructured/ unlimited syllabus adds to the ambiguity. Students heavily rely on past year papers and draw inferences to understand the types of questions asked and the level of difficulty. So how to approach these types of questions with accuracy and score well in the examination?

The Ultimate Reading List To Take Your VARC Prep To The Next Level! By XAT 99.73 %iler

Let's be real. The Verbal Ability and Reading Comprehension (VARC) section of CAT, XAT and other MBA entrance exams can be really tricky. More so if English is not your strongest suit (Read: me).
