XLRI ranked No 4 in India by SSRN

SSRN.com has ranked XLRI at no.4 in India and 168 internationally (excluding US Business schools) based solely on the research paper downloads from the site.

Here are the details:

No.1 IIM Calcutta (international rank: 119)
2. ISB hyderabad (Int Rank: 130)
3. IIM Ahmedabad (Int rank136)
4. XLRI Jamshedpur, India (Int rank 168)

As of now, this ranking is not complete because many professors of IIMs do not post their working papers here. For example, if Prof. J R Varma of IIMA posts his papers here, then IIMA would easily become No1.

However, given the objectivity in its ranking system, I am sure after another 5 years, everybody in India will go by this ranking only. And its beauty lies in the fact that it gives 100% emphasis on research, the main job of a management faculty.

Ranking (an objective one) is necessary to solve the information asymmetry problem. Students know everything (strengths and weaknesses) of an institute. But prospective students do not. Neither do the fresh recruiters. If rankings can be done objectively, then this problem can be solved.
