How Did We Create This Report?
In 2021, we reached out to the batch of 2022 and 2023 across India's top MBA colleges to tell us about their thoughts on the b-school recruitment process. One of the questions the survey asked was for MBA students to reveal their top-5 dream companies to work with. Based on the responses received, an overall weighted score was computed, using which the overall rankings were arrived at.
Students responding to this survey belong to business schools like IIMs ABCLIK, as well as second and third generation IIMs. Respondents also belong to campuses such as FMS, XLRI, SPJIMR, ISB, MDI Gurgaon, SIBM Pune, IIFT, and NMIMS Mumbai amongst others. Other campuses include IMT Ghaziabad, SCMHRD, Welingkar, KJSIMSR, XIMB, IMI New Delhi, and the IITs.
