The Boss-ACNielsen-2007 (Annual Survey) has pulished Top MBA Colleges in Nepal 2007.

Methodology:
Step1: A comprehensive list of 22 institutes/ colleges that offer post graduate programmme in management was prepared and factual data was collected for each for each of them.

Step2: Over 40 academic experts (principal, dean and HOD of MBA/MBS programmes) rated various MBA and MBS colleges on seven parameters: reputation, curriculum, academic inputs, students care, admission procedure, and infrastructure and job prospects. The academic experts’ ratings were put to a logical statistical model that yielded ‘Perpetual Score’ for each college.

Step3: A panel of five experts of Corporate managers and CEO/entrepreneurs (Bhasker Raj Karnikar, Bina Rana, Ram Gurugain, Shailendra Raj and Deepti Thakuri)) went through the factual data, and their exposure to the business education environment in the country, assigned objective scores against the seven stipulated parameters for each college. This was used for working out ‘Objective Score’.

Step 4:  A sample of senior students from the top MBA/MBS institutions were approached with a questionnaire. These face-to-face interactions provided insight on satisfaction level and grooming process for meeting professional challenges in the future career. This interaction with students was used for calculating ‘Beneficiary Score’.

Step 5: The beneficiary score was indexed to the Perceptual and Objective Scores to derive the Final Ratings.
