New Delhi: The Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Ahmedabad and four other business schools from Asia have figured amongst the world's top 100 management schools in a survey published by the prestigious London-based weekly Economist's "Intelligence Unit".

IIM Ahmedabad has been ranked 64th in the list. Only four other Asian schools figure in it.

School of Business of Hong Kong University (ranked 68th), Graduate School of International Management of International University of Japan (84th), Nanyang Business School of Nanyang Technological University of Singapore (93th) and China Europe International Business School (95th) are the other Asian institutions.

Kellogg School of Management of North-western University has topped the EIU's ranking for full time MBA programme for the third year in succession.

It was a matter of pride for India as in one of the categories, "open new career opportunities," IIM Ahmedabad was ranked first, followed by Tuck School of Business of Dartmouth College and Kellogg.

The survey used four parameters to arrive at the rankings in which views of students and alumni represented 26 per cent of the score allocated to each school while the remainder was based on data provided in the school questionnaire.
