Such has been the fall that IIM Ahmedabad has barely managed to remain in the list of top-50 institutes. It has slipped to the 50th position from last year’s rank of 40.

IIM B has also gone down 10 ranks — to 54 from 44 the last year. “The main concern would be that Indian schools as a collective have slipped. I plan to discuss this with my fellow directors,” said IIM B Director Professor Rishikesha T Krishnan.
