FIIB has proudly earned a Level 4 – Transforming School rating in the 2025 edition of the Positive Impact Rating (PIR) for Business Schools. This recognition is particularly meaningful as it marks our first year of participation, and we are the only Indian B-school to be placed in this category.
What is the Positive Impact Rating (PIR)?
The Positive Impact Rating is a global initiative supported by esteemed international networks such as UN PRME, AACSB, EFMD, and AMBA. Unlike traditional rankings, PIR is based entirely on student feedback, evaluating how business schools approach key areas of social responsibility and sustainability.
The rating assesses performance across seven core dimensions:
- Governance
- Culture
- Programs
- Learning methods
- Student support
- Institutional role modeling
- Public engagement
FIIB’s strong performance across these dimensions reflects the growing role students play in shaping the direction of the institution.
A Milestone in Purpose-Driven Education
Being placed in the Level 4 “Transforming” category affirms FIIB’s ongoing efforts to embed responsible management education, promote the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and engage with all our stakeholders in a meaningful way.
Our commitment aligns particularly with:
- SDG 4: Quality Education
- SDG 5: Gender Equality
- SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth
- SDG 9: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure
This recognition is not just a badge of honor—it validates our mission to prepare globally-relevant and socially conscious business leaders.
A Promising Debut Among Leading Institutions
While leading institutions like IIM Bangalore, IIM Indore, SPJIMR, XLRI, and Woxsen have been rated as Level 5 “Pioneering Schools,” FIIB’s placement in Level 4 demonstrates our rapid progress and serious commitment to impact-driven education.
We’re proud to join this global movement for change and see our approach to business education being acknowledged on an international stage.
What This Recognition Means for the FIIB Community
As we celebrate this achievement, we are also taking this moment to strengthen our commitment to continuous transformation. Going forward, we aim to:
- Increase student involvement in institutional decision-making
- Further integrate sustainability into the curriculum across all programs
- Build partnerships that create tangible, real-world impact
A Collective Achievement and a Forward Path
This milestone would not have been possible without the dedicated efforts of our students, faculty, partners, and community. Your trust and collaboration continue to inspire our journey.
At FIIB, transformation is not a one-time goal—it is the path we walk every day. And this recognition is just the beginning.
Together, we are building a better future through education with purpose.
