I completely agree with the point that B-School has became a shortcut to get placed with hunky salary. I also agree with the point says B-School are running it as a business to fill their own pockets on the name of placement. But I want to ask a question that.. Will you join an institute that provides 100% placement or an institute with no placement ? Just ask this question to yourself.. Will you join ? You will not because you too want to earn a good salary soon after completion of MBA and whats wrong in that if you are getting assistance from experts who promote you to build your career.

Now coming to the quality of education that B-School is providing to their candidates. There isn't any organization left which teaches.. not even IIMs or IITs. They will just guide you. One more point with regard to MBA, no body can teach you Business Management. It need to be touched and felt. I am very much sure that a young man who just know English and has worked under his father in a organized shop can understand Business Administration (if study), better than a candidate who has come blindly by just cracking hefty entrance Exam. Now a days no college in India teaches engineering or business management, its you who should carry the entire course on your own shoulder. So where it matters, its matters in placement as well as the college tag.

Effectiveness of b school is limited to the best school like iim a, b, c etc but apart from these schools even selection criteria is only cgpa and cat score based, and I don't think it is a good measure for checking quality of a business man or woman. I can say that when will we get free from this mark basis criteria we will surely get a proper study in the field of business. And atleast in b school we should not put reservation instead of that we should put some quality test that will assure the student who is getting admission in this reputed b school is really eligible because what we expect from b school student that they must be job provider not job seeker.

Hello guys.

My Name Is Aryan Singh.

I want to say that Top B-schools are sending their students to big companies for internships to provide them practical knowledge.

With increasing Internationalization, Indian B-Schools are improving a lot from the past few years.

Indian B-Schools prepare students for the corporate world. They teach dressing etiquette, corporate etiquette, discussion skills, teamwork and much more in the course itself.

Conclusion :
Indian Business schools are trying to catch up the international standards. There have been drastic improvements from the past few years. But still, a lot needs to be done. We should adopt best practices in the world, and at the same time, there is a need to Indianise the business education.

Yes, we have the excellent & effective B-Schools in India. But these are only for getting the huge salary job. Former minister Mr. Jawaharlal Nehru had open these B-school for producing Entrepreneurs, not the managers but today this B-school are effective in only in producing managers, not entrepreneurs.

Hello everyone,

My name is Anjan.

Recently I read the book "Rich Dad Poor Dad" by 'Robert Kiyosaki'. The theme of the book effectively stated that in our education system, we are never taught how to handle financial problems. Rather, we keep working hard and finally become corporate slaves.

This should not be the scenario as this leads to a drop in an individuals intellectuality, and hence effects the world's economy.

Joining a B-School is one of the best ways to encourage learning in financial aspects of life and not only that, people have to face a high competition level for joining these institutes, therefore keeping in check, the general aptitude and problem solving skills of a person.

B- schools in India are just like business these day. There many so called MBA colleges opened in every street in the city of India and it is very difficult to differentiate between colleges which are good or best. So because of that any one can do MBA from any college by giving a high amount of fees. But the education system in these b- schools is not so effective, so less companies comes to recruit students from these colleges. That's why these students have degree but no jobs. And it lead to unemployment.

My opinion for B-schools in India is that it is simply becoming a business these days. Instead of imparting proper education, knowledge and different skills required for managers they are simply attracting students by placements.

Business schools are now a days becoming placement agencies and students also started judging B-Schools on the basis of their placements not on the basis of curriculum and faculties, rather than concentrating on studies students concentrates only for placements because of this mindset sometimes they will not be good at concepts also and which will lead them no where. Even after getting a B.TECH degree students still go after b-schools for better placements.

My opinion about B-Schools in India has not yet completely developed when compared to world-class. Only few schools like IIM, IIT compete with global exposure. In India people do MBA degree just for gaining artificial reputation. In abroad, working experience are must require for pursuing MBA. Only after gaining working experience he/she will get to know the real worth of doing MBA. Thus such system should be established in a country like INDIA. Surely Indian's can compete to world-class with this kind of system.

I am not opposing any body with there own views, I agree with other's point that B school gives platform to learn leadership skill, case studies, provide's practical knowledge but I have some question *why they giving fake information related placements (giving lots of companies name in their blog).

Why govt is giving permission & AICTE UGC giving affiliation to such colleges?

Why there is no restriction's ?

This is competitive era everybody want to take higher higher qualification.

If this B Schools attract students like this than they are not going to suffer but we are going to face problem & even country will face unemployment problem more and more.

SO my point is there should some restriction for B SCHOOLS.

Hellow friends,

According to me, b-schools provide good platform before entering any business. It develops the management skills, practical knowledge moreover communication skill. But nowadays, it is hard to find a good b-schools. So, no need to go blindly in any b-school first try to accumulate the complete info. About the college because sometimes they show 100% placement on their respective sites but in actual, there is no as such placement. So try to go for knowledge, not for money.

Hope for the best.
