BMU bags ‘diamond’ subject rating for its management school from QS I-GAUGE

The School of Management at Gurugram-based BML Munjal University (BMU), a Hero Group initiative, has been awarded with ‘diamond’ subject rating in management by QS I-GAUGE, an independent private sector rating system for India’s universities, colleges, and schools, the varsity announced on March 31.

It further strengthens our position in the higher education space,” said BMU vice-chancellor Manoj K Arora.

For subject ratings, QS I-GAUGE evaluates an institution on 10 broad parameters – faculty student ratio, overall student satisfaction, completion rate, overall alumni satisfaction, library facilities, management ecosystem, entrepreneurship and innovation, centre for leadership, executive education and continuous learning, and placement outcomes.

A diamond rating is obtained on scoring 190 and above on a total of 250 points. In the management category, BML Munjal University has secured 218 points out of 250. This puts the School of Management at BMU way ahead of several prestigious institutions in India.

QS I-GAUGE has framed its subject ratings methodology for Indian institutions keeping a long-term objective in mind, where institutions are evaluated based on how specific subjects are taught to fulfil the current market trend. The agency brings together the global expertise, experience, and reputation of UK based (QS) Quacquarelli Symonds, along with deep local knowledge of luminaries from Indian education.

Speaking about the ranking, Jaskiran Arora, dean, BMU School of Management, said “We owe this to our faculty’s learning-centric and focused approach to making a difference and transforming students’ lives. We wish everyone who has made it to the list all the very best.”
