Dun & Bradstreet India (D&B India) is pleased to release the second edition of India’s Leading Business Schools. The publication ‘India’s Leading Business School 2011’ will create a platform to discuss academic issues by bringing together the institutes actively involved in management education. The endeavour was undertaken keeping in mind the progressive role that business schools play in creating managers of the future.

Higher education plays a crucial role in the economic social and intellectual development of the country. As the Indian economy grows, higher education will become one of its biggest growth drivers. Top-notch business schools provide countries with a competitive advantage in the form of highly skilled managers – which in turn leads to rising income levels and even greater economic growth.

Nowhere has this been more evident than in India. Today, India has around 544 universities and nearly 31,324 colleges. For academic year 2010-11, there are a total of 1,698 institutes that are running AICTE approved MBA and PGDM courses with an intake capacity of 168,272 students.

The government has, and continues to play a crucial role in the field of higher education, and specifically management education, in terms of policy reforms or investments aimed at setting up new institutes that provide quality education.

The Eleventh Five Year plan has begun on the path of educational reforms and we might soon see a new wave of investments in higher education. Thus, during the eleventh five year plan, 7 new IIMs were made operational while, the total intake of IIMs have been increased from 1,426 in 2007-08 to over 2,000 in 2011-12. With management studies gaining significant prominence to create leaders with suitable managerial skills, competition is expected to increase and likely to lead to the presence of globally acknowledged management institutes in India.

Dun & Bradstreet will continue to follow this critical and fast evolving sector. I hope you enjoy reading ‘India’s Leading Business Schools 2011’ and look forward to receiving your suggestions.
