Independent B-School Survey Rankings

Historical Rankings

SIMSR was ranked 45th in Higher Education Review's Top 100 B-Schools in India survey in 2023, and 64th in the Top 100 Management Institutes category of the Times B-School Survey by the Times of India in 2022. It has also been placed 57th among the Top 74 Private Institutes by Times B-School in other survey cycles and received a 'Certificate of Excellence' as an 'A category B-School' from the Chronicle B-School Survey.

Accreditation and Certification

Beyond media rankings, SIMSR's MMS programme carries accreditation from the National Board of Accreditation (NBA), a formal quality benchmark administered under AICTE, and the institute is certified for Quality Management Systems under ISO 9001:2015 by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS), reflecting standardised administrative and academic processes across the campus.

Students comparing SIMSR against other Mumbai management institutes can review the institute's placement outcomes and fee structure alongside these rankings and accreditations, since survey positions can shift from year to year while NBA accreditation and university affiliation remain the more stable indicators of programme quality.

SIMSR has also been recognised in earlier cycles, including a 9th rank for Outstanding B-Schools of Excellence and a 23rd rank among private institutes in Maharashtra in the GHRDC-CSR B-School Survey 2021, along with a National Educational Excellence Award in 2021 for 'Leading and Student Choice Management Studies College of the Year' in Maharashtra, reflecting a consistent presence across independent B-school evaluation exercises over more than a decade.

Since B-school survey methodologies and criteria differ from one publication to another, and rankings can shift meaningfully year to year, prospective students are encouraged to treat these listings as one input among several, alongside the institute's NBA accreditation, its actual placement data, and its FRA-approved fee structure, when comparing SIMSR against other management institutes affiliated to the University of Mumbai.
