IESE’s focus on sustainability also stood out as key. IESE’s MBA is ranked second in the world for ESG and net zero teaching, which looks at course content dedicated to ethics, social, environmental issues and climate solutions for how organizations can reach net zero. IESE also scored highly for its emphasis on reducing its carbon footprint (ranking no.6 in the world on this measure.) - IESE website

Being in the global top 3 bschools is indeed a great achievement for IESE Bschool in Barcelona Spain. Though it has been in the top 10 ranks, over the past many years, it was #1 during Covid times, when all major bschools went in the online mode, IESE still was teaching with reduced strength offline in classrooms in Barcelona. This is the sixth time in its sixty five year history since 1958 that it has gotten ahead of Harvard Business School, a notable and laudable achievement for the whole team of teaching and non-teaching faculty, it was global #1 in five of those six times. 

In terms of salary we observe generally European Business schools, though they have high rankings have low salary levels, which they make up in the course of five to ten years and become comparable to US bschool graduates.

Indian School of Business Hyderabad clocks rank #39, while Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad and Indian Institute of Management Bangalore clocks global ranks of 51 and 52 respectively. (click here for the Financial Times website)
