MBA profiles at top B-Schools

Indian MBA admissions at top B-Schools by caste 



I did an analysis for Indian top B-Schools admits by caste.

For doing so, I compared the search results on LinkedIn by adding Filters of last name and School.

For example, for Jains studying at Harvard Business School:

Above filter is applied.

Last name is put as Jain, and School as Harvard Business School.

And it shows 189 results.

Similar results were obtained for 42 surnames belonging to Arora, Khatri, Agarwal, Jain, Brahmin, Maheshwari, Gupta castes.


Brahmins, Baniyas, Maheshwari, Khatri, Arora surnames are used for a comparison.







For obtaining total population, I used two sources:

1. Forbears was used. For example: https://forebears.io/surnames/garg

Above links tells us total number of people with Garg surname in India.


2. Total number of profiles on LinkedIn was used.

For example:


Putting only last name filter tells you total number of profiles by last name.


Result:

The result is as follows:

Is Rishi Sunak Brahmin or Khatri ?

  There is no proper answer to this without evidence. Khatri here would claim him to be Khatri, while Brahmins here would claim to be Brahmin. The reality is a bit different. Sunak is neither a pure Brahmin, nor a pure Khatri. Sunak surname is not listed in Khatri caste, neither in Brahmin caste. So all claims by Brahmins or Khatris here are just bogus. **************************************************************************************** From the mother’s side: Rishi Sunak’s relatives in Ludhiana express happiness on him becoming UK PM Among the relatives of Rishi Sunak who live in Ludhiana is Subhash Berry, a cousin of Rishi’s mother Usha Sunak https://www.hindustantimes.com/cities/chandigarh-news/rishi-sunak-s-relatives-in-ludhiana-express-happiness-on-him-becoming-uk-pm-101666718216795.html Rishi Sunak’s maternal grandfather’s name is Raghubir Berry.
