TAPMI shares 6th place with SP Jain among eight ranked schools. IIM Bangalore is 2nd and the Indian School of Business is 4th.

| 3 | HKUST |
| 4 | Indian School of Business |
| 5 | Woxsen University |

Bloomberg ranks schools by region, and this list covers Asia-Pacific only. It is a regional MBA list, so do not read it as a TAPMI national ranking or a world rank.
TAPMI shows QS Business Masters 2026 entries in the bands 151+ and 201+. QS gives bands, not single ranks, for schools outside its top 100. TAPMI's page lists the Masters in Management, Finance and Marketing entries together with those two bands. It does not say which band belongs to which list.
QS shows a band once a school falls outside the top 100 of a list. A band of 151+ means TAPMI sits below the 150th place in that subject, with no single number given.
TAPMI lists only the QS Business Masters entries, not an overall QS world rank. Read the QS site for the full tables.
TAPMI ranks 98th in the Financial Times Masters in Management 2026, a first entry in the list. The FT published its 22nd edition on 7 September 2026. TAPMI's site shows the same rank. Fourteen Indian schools are in the 2026 list, up from eleven.
TAPMI Enters the FT Masters in Management
7 September 2026TAPMI is 98th of 100 schools in the FT Masters in Management 2026. NMIMS Mumbai and IMT Ghaziabad also entered the list this year, at 73rd and 86th.
Open the TAPMI Ranking and Accreditations PageYes. TAPMI appears at 98th, near the bottom of the 100 schools, and no earlier edition shows it. Treat it as a first global listing for the MBA and not as a sign of a fall.
TAPMI has no programme-wise NIRF rank, because NIRF ranks the institute under Management. The ranking bodies score the whole school, so the TAPMI ranking is one for the institute. Programme recognition comes from accreditation and from the FT and QS subject lists.
