Indian School of Business, Hyderabad celebrating its Tenth anniversary beginning December 2, has become the first Indian Business school & for that matter first B-school in South Asia to be accredited by AACSB International. It has been a long wait for ISB Hyderabad which had begun the process more than seven years earlier. The school ranked as No 13 by the Financial Times London, adds the AACSB accreditation to its roll of honors. “We are delighted to have received the prestigious AACSB accreditation, which is regarded as the hallmark of excellence in business education”, the Dean Ajit Rangnekar says.

The school was a pioneer in introducing an one year management programme which has not been recognised by the Indian government regulator AICTE so far. Otherwise, the school had the highest credentials having been funded entirely by private corporations, foundations and individuals from around the world. The London School of Business, Wharton & Kellog are its associates. academic alliances with the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University, The Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, London Business School (LBS), MIT Sloan School of Management & The Fletcher School of Law & Diplomacy, Tufts University are its academic associates.

BE WARY OF UNRECOGNISED ACCREDITING BODIES!
Accreditation takes time and rigour and cannot be given out by any agency by accepting a few thousand dollars across the board and also in a few weeks time. It is a strange irony that accreditation, a process that is to ensure highest form of quality in the institutions is also a source of big business for some, prompting regulatory organizations to declare certain institutions as being unrecognized. Any accreditation being done with these institution should be considered as illegal and a complete waste of money and time. Besides, such accreditations may also mislead the students. Please visit Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) for updates on accreditation mills. Please check this wikipedia article before taking up your accreditation (more)
