Despite Indian Business School grads securing prominent places in Global Corporate World and the worldwide acceptance of CAT as one of the toughest entrance exams to B-schools, none of the Indian B-Schools is able to make place on the chart of the World's Top 100 Business Schools (Full Time Global MBA Rankings 2005), released Monday 24th January 2005 by The Financial Times of London.

The influential Financial Times survey is one of the most powerful rankings of business schools worldwide. Its popularity can be compared to prestigious Business Week Top Business School Listing in the United States.

Over all, the top-10 positions were dominated by U.S. Business Schools, with only London Business School and INSEAD (based in France and Singapore) making their place in first 10. Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania and The Harvard Business School take the top slot in 2005, followed in third position by the Columbia Business School.

Ranking of MBA programs released by The Financial Times of London offers its assessment of the top-100 MBA programs in the world based on surveys completed by both school officials and alumni, Multinational Corporations and Financial Times experts also contribute their views. The rankings are generally based on relative status in three broad areas; value, diversity, and research. Alumni salary is supposedly the main component considered as a measure of value. Diversity of faculty and students, use of international opportunities and it’s availability are some important components for measures of a program's diversity. Number of publications in International Publications and Practitioner Journals account for a program's research ranking.
