ISB Mohali Ranking FAQs
Ques. Why is ISB Mohali not ranked in NIRF?
Ans. Participation in the National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF) is voluntary for private institutions. ISB, including its Mohali campus, has not submitted data to NIRF and therefore does not appear in any NIRF category. This is not a reflection of academic quality but of the institution’s decision not to participate in the framework.
Ques. Do ISB Hyderabad and ISB Mohali have different rankings?
Ans. No. ISB operates as a single unified institution. Rankings published by the Financial Times, Quacquarelli Symonds, and IIRF are for ISB as a whole and are not broken down by campus. A student enrolling at the Mohali campus holds the same ISB PGP degree and benefits from the same institutional ranking as a student at the Hyderabad campus.
Ques. What does ISB Mohali’s FT Global MBA rank of 12th mean for applicants?
Ans. The Financial Times Global MBA Rankings 2026 placed ISB at 12th out of 100 programmes worldwide, making it India’s top-ranked business school in that list. This rank is based on metrics including alumni salary growth, career progression, and research output. Applicants to the Mohali campus are admitted through the same unified ISB PGP process and receive a degree from ISB, which carries this global rank.
Ques. How has ISB Mohali’s FT ranking changed over the past three years?
Ans. ISB’s position in the Financial Times Global MBA Rankings has improved consistently. It ranked 31st in 2024, moved to 27th in 2025, and reached 12th in 2026. This is the strongest upward movement ISB has shown in the FT rankings within a three-year window.
