Hi, I’m Dripto, Founder of Ascension Centre for Research and Analytics.

Years ago, when we set out to understand what makes a business school 𝒐𝒖𝒕𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒏𝒅𝒊𝒏𝒈, we didn’t begin with a big list or glossy rankings.

We began with questions.

✨ 𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒅𝒓𝒊𝒗𝒆𝒔 𝒔𝒕𝒖𝒅𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝒄𝒉𝒐𝒊𝒄𝒆𝒔?
✨ 𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒎𝒂𝒕𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒔 𝒎𝒐𝒔𝒕 𝒕𝒐 𝒓𝒆𝒄𝒓𝒖𝒊𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒔?
✨ 𝙃𝙤𝙬 𝙙𝙤𝙚𝙨 𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝘽–𝙨𝙘𝙝𝙤𝙤𝙡 𝙚𝙙𝙜𝙚 𝙥𝙖𝙨𝙩 𝙖𝙣𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧, 𝙗𝙚𝙮𝙤𝙣𝙙 𝙗𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙙?

Answers to these culminated into something powerful: a holistic, data-backed, perception-informed, globally benchmarked methodology that now fuels the @Fortune India Best B-Schools Ranking.

📍This isn’t just a ranking. It’s a mirror.
A mirror that reflects not only where you are, but how far you’ve come — and how far you can go.

In our methodology, we look at:

• Absolute performance on hard metrics across 3 years
• Perceptions from over 1,000 recruiters, students & faculty
• Internationalization, pedagogy, placement, infrastructure, brand appeal, and more
• And of course, the “𝑫𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒆 𝒕𝒐 𝑭𝒓𝒐𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒆𝒓” score that shows your proximity to the top

In 2025, @Fortune India, in partnership with @Ascension Centre for Research and Analytics (ACRA), is back with India’s most trusted B-School evaluation.

✅ Transparent and 100% free of cost
✅ Equal weight to data & perception
✅ Recognised by students, recruiters, and academia alike
