Publishing Agency	Ranking / Rating
NIRF (National Institutional Ranking Framework), Management category	Reported figures conflict sharply across sources and years: SCMS's own historical MBA programme was ranked #50 in NIRF 2016 and in the 76-100 band in NIRF 2017; MBAUniverse states SCMS Cochin's 'NIRF Ranking 2024 is not announced'; one Careers360-linked listing cites '#79 in India by NIRF', another cites '#41 amongst institutions in Management by NIRF', and a third source claims a 'top-75' 2025 placement. Given this scale of disagreement, any specific current NIRF rank for SCMS Cochin School of Business should be verified directly at nirfindia.org before being published as fact.
Business Today	Reported figures vary by source and year: #47 in India / #17 in South India (Business Today B-School Survey 2024, per one third-party aggregator); #71-73 in Management (per MBAUniverse); #70 (per Shiksha, 2023); #73 in Management (per a separate third-party listing).
MBAUniverse.com B-School Ranking	#66-73 (varies by year/source); MBAUniverse.com Grade A+
Outlook-ICARE	#36 in the 'MBA (Private)' category (2024 ranking)
Times B-School Survey	#91 under the Management category (2023 ranking, per Shiksha)
Careers360	Careers360 Rank #52 (2026 listing), with a Careers360 user rating of 3.9/5 based on 10 reviews
SCMS Cochin's own official website	The official Overview page states SCMS Cochin is 'Ranked as No. 1 B-School in Kerala' and among the 'Top 50 at national level'; this is a self-reported institutional claim rather than a citation to a specific named ranking agency/year, and should be read alongside the more granular third-party rankings above.
