Rankings offer a useful reference point for how employers view a business school. CEIBS has ranked #1 in Asia in the Financial Times Global MBA ranking for ten consecutive years, and its Global EMBA was ranked #1 worldwide by the Financial Times in 2024 (it is currently ranked #2).

For employers, these rankings provide a consistent benchmark when evaluating candidates across different education systems. This is particularly relevant for multinational firms and financial institutions that recruit across regions and need a common point of comparison.

Consistent performance over time matters as much as position. A sustained presence at the top of global rankings signals stability in programme quality and alignment with employer expectations. It signals that graduates continue to meet the standards required in competitive hiring environments.

In this sense, rankings support employer confidence by offering an external measure of the programme’s standing over time.
