Hello Everyone.

First, we must know that what is the meaning of B school, bB school means education relevant to the business environment, those who want to go in business or want to become entrepreneurs.

Some important aspects:

1) our education system is very ancient and there is a lot of need to change syllabus and study pattern according to the requirement of time.

2) Every parent is following the monotonous study pattern n which they try to complete the 1st to 12th class schooling and after that, they choose a particular stream for their child.

3) Indian govt should be open business schools for students who want to join their own business. They have to encourage the youth to go in the business field also.

4) Every wealthiest person in the world is a businessman or woman because business can give you numerous money, fame and success, not your job.

5) we also have to add business-related courses in primary and secondary sections also for the overall development of students.

6) Govt must hire the best quality teachers for business schools in India.

7) Most of the developed countries are only believe in businesses that's why they created their own products and they are the most powerful and economically more strong. Like China Japan America.

8) business schools in the education system must be given a new direction in the betterment of India and will also produce new business to those we are dependent on other countries.

9) These schools these days very effective if their content quality is up to the mark.

Thanks all.

I just finished reading your article about the effectiveness of Indian B-Schools, and I have to say, you've really hit the nail on the head with your insights! It's quite evident that you've done your research thoroughly.

As a recent graduate myself, I've often wondered about the value these institutions bring to the table, and your article shed some much-needed light on the matter.

Your analysis of the pros and cons of Indian B-Schools is spot-on. I agree that the curriculum and faculty quality plays a crucial role in shaping a student's experience and future prospects. The point you raised about practical exposure and industry collaboration is something I've personally felt during my time in B-School. The anecdotes you shared from students really drove home the fact that it's not just about theoretical knowledge, but also about the skills and connections one gains along the way.

Moreover, your comparison with international B-Schools was eye-opening. It's true that these institutions often have a more global perspective, and the emphasis on research can provide students with unique advantages. Your balanced approach to highlighting both the strengths and areas needing improvement in Indian B-Schools shows a deep understanding of the subject.

Overall, kudos to you for a well-researched and insightful article! I'm sure it will help many prospective students like myself make more informed decisions about their education journey.

Business Schools are basic building blocks of management studies which are relatively lesser effective than developed nations' b-school as they are better equipped and more real-time market case studies like Harward has studies case studies over Ramdev business strategy but we are still practicing 1990's business solutions as well as less exposure to Corporates less internship opportunities and duration in Indian market so a lot of difference is there. Foreign delegates lectures are not more frequent. All above mentioned are loopholes in our education system but no doubt b-school prepare students better for corporate life corporate communication as well as marketing, business expansion through merger & acquisition, financial reinforcement, best-fit human power as well as pulling marketing demand and fulfilling customer needs with Research and development, new product development with market acceptance and competitive strategy with building brand loyalty among customers.

Various theories, rules, laws are implemented by every employee to CEO as studies cover all dimensions of business and market needs.

So business school are effective but Indian b-schools are little lesser effective but more effective than any other course in India and if we have the right mix of skills and knowledge nobody can replace us, university name doesn't matter that much.

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.

Hi Everyone, If we are looking into the history of B-Schools in India then expect some IIMs it has not been that great. But in recent times the trend has changed and Schools like Master's Union are bringing in a much needed change.

Now the system has understood the need for change. Institutions like Master's Union are slowly bringing in changes that has the ability to change the whole education system in our nation.

The way they value practical knowledge alongside theoretical knowledge is really commendable. Moreover their policy of learning it from the best in the business that is entrepreneurs themselves than teachers has also proven to be handy in the success of such Institutions.

The result is pretty evident from the CTCs offered to the students of other B-Schools in India to that of Master's Union.

So all I want to say is though it was not upto the mark, their is a change coming in which will soon turn into a revolution which will completely bring in a new B-School system which is more efficient, effective and updated.

I appreciate the points given by all of you. But in my point of view, B-schools in India is no doubt more than of a business now. They are luring students to get them high-salary job and taking huge amount of fees. I think those who can afford it, it's good for them but the problem is they are not giving a proper education to the students. They are nothing more than copycats of Western-style B-schools. The knowledge imparted in these colleges are of very low standard. Instead of paying a huge amount students are not getting a good education. Jobs are not provided by these colleges will not be an issue if they provide good education which can empower students to get them a job by themselves.

They are more of focused on making them look like (grooming) an entrepreneur rather than building them one.

But in the end, we cannot ignore the fact that the exposure of becoming an entrepreneur is brought by these B-schools only, which I think is the only good point in all this.

Thank you.

Hello everyone, today we are here to discuss the topic "How effective Indian b-schools". When we go back, earlier Indians were only adopted to traditional schools, but now in this modern-era, b-schools have emerged. As a coin on both sides, this topic also as some advantages and disadvantages to it.

Advantages-.

1. Helps in developing students from an earlier stage itself.
2. Helps in improving communication skills.
3. Helps in improving technical skills to cope with the latest technology emerging.

Disadvantages:

1. This involves a very high cost to provide.
2. Students who are not affordable can't enrol in these instructions.
3. Though students in B-schools are good in communication and technical skills they somehow lack subject-related knowledge.

And I want to conclude that B-schools play a crucial role in this modern generation of developing emerging students. Though it has advantages and disadvantages it helps in building the Indian economy to a higher level.

Thank you.

Business school no doubt is playing a vital role in the today's economy and most importantly it's the students who can learn more and more from it. B-Schools in itself says business schools, obviously, they will take money, it's the student who has to make out off that money and get the best possible results for them. Talking about the effectiveness of the B-schools in India, excluding the bottom one's no doubt they are providing with the best quality education and high placement packages, if you compare it with other government colleges, they are providing all possible practical knowledge and experience, it's the students who has to grab it by excelling them. At last it's not that easy to get into the top most B-schools one has to qualify cat or other OMET exams for that one is required to excel in every basic thing, further which adds to effective personality development by applying things practically, not like just mugging things up.

Nowadays, graduating from B-schools is a craze among youths. We cannot judge the effectiveness of any Indian B-schools by the no of students that are being placed in MNC's at a high annual package. It's true that all these Indian b-schools focus on producing well-groomed managers and not the entrepreneurs but it's not actually the fault of those institutes, these days everyone wants a safe, secure and a high payable job. Youths don't want to take a risk as it is one of the main element of the business. I cannot say that all the Indian institutes are effective but I can say that those institutes which try to give more practical knowledge or let their students to apply their theoretical knowledge in the field are effective. Many institutes provide various opportunities to the students so that they can implement their knowledge in a creative manner to achieve their respective goals and that shows the effectiveness of the institutes.

Indian B school is a type of school which provides education related to business.

As every school provide all types of education which are considered as basic education. But no one considers business education as basic education but there is need of it, the benefits of it is people can able to handle financial problems. Everyone knows people are rich and people are poor but there are very few people who know the reasons behind it.

There are too many parents who do their own but they are growing with time, there are too many reasons but due to illiteracy they are unable to get easy way to enhance their business so if their children will study then definitely 20-30 % students out of 100 will interfere on their business and can rise and minimise the financial problems.
