IIM Bangalore Ranks 21st in Financial Times Management Rankings

The Financial Times published a list of the world’s best Masters in Management programmes for 2026.

The University of St Gallen in Switzerland came first.

Nova School of Business and Economics in Portugal came second, and Shanghai Jiao Tong University’s Antai College came third.

IIM Bangalore was the highest-ranked Indian school, at number 21.

Fourteen Indian schools made the list of 100 institutions.

The ranking looks at things such as salaries, career progress, value for money, international exposure, diversity and sustainability.

Information from former students makes up more than half of the score.

The articles differ on whether St Gallen’s top position is its second or third consecutive year, although both describe it as a repeat number-one institution.
