In today’s competitive world of management education, an MBA degree is no longer just about academics; it is also about leadership, global exposure, innovation, and career development. While the Indian Institutes of Management (IIM) dominate the government sector, India’s private MBA colleges are carving out their own space with commendable infrastructure, industry-aligned curriculum, and impressive placement records.
Every year, the Indian Institutional Ranking Framework (IIRF) releases its rankings of MBA institutions, offering students clarity on where to invest their two most important years. Like the NIRF Rankings, the IIRF Rankings also rank the institutions across India based on seven parameters, and they are as follows, along with the marks allotted for each parameter:-
| Parameter | Marks |

| Industry Income and Integration | 100 |
| Placement Strategies and Support (PSS) | 100 |
| Future Orientation (FO) | 100 |
| External Perception and International Outlook | 100 |
On the same parameters, the Indian Institutional Rankings Framework has ranked the private colleges in India which offer MBA courses to students.
