Top 10 MBA colleges in India

popular news

Education is somewhat of a huge importance for everyone’s life – child and adult alike. People have been stressing the prospect of type of education since ages but no one indulged in knowing the type that the students like. Some might love to become a doctor, or a teacher, or a writer. But, all of the mentioned are mainstream, which each and every student ultimately chooses to do. However, the stream of MBA – though now gaining speedy popularity – is still somewhat of a less common stream.


Amidst the tens of thousands of Management Graduates churned out, only around 7% turn out to be employable, as reported in the study conducted by ASSOCHAM. MBA graduates are spending lakh of rupees on their management education, but after graduating, most of them are earning a measly 800 to 10,000 rupees per month – that too, only when they are able to find replacements. Campus recruitments have gone down by a whooping 45%, thanks to the economic slowdown from 2014 to 2016 as well as the low education quality. As a result, 220 MBA schools have already shut down in top cities including Delhi-NCR, Bangalore, Mumbai, Kolkata, Lucknow, etc. Around 120 more such schools are written to meet the same fate this year.

For the lucky few that make it to the management institutes, there are reports of an almost pathological ignorance among students to issues that extend beyond the ledger, even in their own backyard. Experts believe that Indian Business School Graduates tend to make professional decisions based on profitability rather than social responsibility. Perhaps India’s oppressive caste system plays a major role, mostly negative, for a self-centered corporate culture, but it could be easily argued that the situation is identical everywhere. Due to India’s humungous size, it appears divisions that certainly exist elsewhere—between oligarchs and working poor, the stark real world and the sterile academy—are more pronounced and perhaps more visible.

A coin always has two sides, and therefore this program is bound to have pros as well as cons. Also, the pros have been outweighing the cons recently, making the programme of MBA one of the most sought after path of education ever.
