AIM doesnt feature in many rankings.I found very little about AIM's rankings when i was searching for it last year. topmba.com was kind of the only site where i could see AIM in a proper ranking.It was 11th in Asia in employer's preference . Though 11 may not be a position I like seeing AIM in, the only consolation was that AIM even with its poor placement history was above some IIMs in India which have exemplary placements . The rankings for 2008/9 are out and its even worse for AIM.AIM now stands at 16 having dropped 5 places from last year.

I like this school a lot unlike many others and it has been a very good experience till now. Having said that I have to agree with the ranking too.AIM isnt as good as it used to be and is thriving on its history mostly.We get taught everyday about accepting change and not living in the past and about how to brand anything to make it a success but i see how the very school that is teaching me these things fail in them. But luckily, AIM has realized it very recently and is working on it. I can see some hope though I am largely sceptical .It is not the usual cribbing that you get from students about their institute. Infact i knew most of these things before coming here and they have only got confirmed now.Still i made the choice and i would advise anybody who want to join the institute to look into all aspects carefully and decide.I am only painting a true picture of how things are.
And the most important question: If given a second chance , would I change my decision about joining AIM? NO : things havent gotten that bad yet:))

It's bad to hear that AIM is doing very little in branding itself, although it has got lot of achievements to show. A bschool's popularity mostly depends upon its website..and AIM in this regard has a long way to go.
Hey..i hav been following some of your blogs and i must say that you write so well. Why don't you try doing some professional stuff like writing your own book.
Keep writing :)
Hi Komaldeep,
yup i agree AIM has a long way to go that too seeing things as it happens here...
And thanks for the compliment ...writing a book is far away considering that i dont get time even to update this blog :)))
Hi Y,
Can you elaborate more on this, about AIM. I got an admit for Sept 09 batch and was thinking of going ahead with the MBA program. Would be glad if you can share your experience there, you can email me @ komaldeep.sodhi@gmail.com.
Hey Great blog, caught it thru Linked In. Yeah even i have been searching for AIM rankings and its also 42nd on Grey Pine Stripes.
I have been currently shortlisted for AIM Sept 09 batch interviews and would like to know the current scenario:expenses,placements,general feel..Do lemme know your views @ ln@bragi.in
