No. In India, the concept of collaborating with universities abroad is not across institutions. Therefore, degrees/diplomas offered by foreign universities while pursuing studies with a B-School/Institution located in India is not considered valid. It would be important to check out the credibility of the institution in the market before taking the final leap. The best example here would be Indian School of Business (Hyderabad). The B-School despite international linkages and without any recognition from any authorized body in India stands tall in terms of providing the best inputs and placements to its graduating students for over many years.
No. It is believed that you are the best person to evaluate the schools and arrive at a decision. You must therefore use the parameters explained in the previous questions (What are the key factors to be kept in mind while choosing a B-School ?) rather than relying on the just B-School rankings. This is primarily because it is not really reliable how authentically these rankings have been arrived at. At the same time, different surveys offer different rankings and it becomes all the more confusing to arrive at a choice.
