How effective are Indian B-schools?

Effective?

Be it schools, universities or any xyz institutes they can never be effective. What really effect is what they cater i.e. education (study material). Even if you go to IIMs if the approach or study material is not worth, I don't think it can give what it is meant for.

So instead of any institutes students should be provided the study material and should be charged for the same not for the dress material.

Let the students do the education the way they want and along with they can continue gathering experience by working.

As of today, there are 4000 odd B-Schools in India of which only 2% have any credibility to their names. For the rest, it has become a business. With fees soaring as high as 15 lacs and the batch size being 500+ in some colleges, one can do the math how much business they gain.

Also, with lack of awareness amongst students and the tag of being an MBA it helps these B-Schools even more.

But in conclusion, I would say not all of them are ineffective as the top B Schools definitely help you in honing your communication, analytical and decision making skills and also give you a good ROI. Plus, the knowledge you gain never goes to waste.

But there needs to be a change wherein these business making B Schools can improve the way they function.

Hi,

In my opinion in a developing country like INDIA need of B- Schools is very much because it develops Communication skills, Managerial Skills, Case Studies and provides practical knowledge for the business management. B-schools are remarkable but only few schools like IIT, IIM compete with global exposure. In abroad, working experience must required MBA, only after gaining working experience everyone will get to know real worth of doing MBA.

But there are so many Business schools in which only few percent are remarkable like IIM, Many schools have been open for only Business purpose so these schools may prove dangerous for students due to unemployment.

Definitely Indian B - Schools are effective in there own way, as when compared to B-schools Abroad, I think B-Schools in India prepare Students according to Indian markets and Indian economy.

So if one has to work in India or serve in India he/she should always go with Indian B-Schools, and yes we have some very elite class B-schools like all IIM's and some other Big names for Higher studies and they are nowhere less then any foreign B-school or University.

But Unfortunately majority of the Local B-Schools operated are just for the sake of business, and steps should be taken by the Government to Keep a watch on these Colleges and B-Schools.

Is'nt it !

The B-Schools in India are unable to groom their student's personality, providing them field knowledge. The only thing they do is providing them degree. That's why our industries are facing the lack of skilled employed and they have to arrange training programme of 6 months to a year for every new employ. This reduces the growth of industries and nation.

Hi friends,

I am Dhanaba, in my point of now a days every students have quality to show there intelligence but college staff doesn't have prey much talent. So every organization or institution want improve there teacher's quality then only improve Indian B-Schools level high.

Thank you.

I agree all of your views but now a days most of students are taking MBA by only attraction because students felt like get more salary package. Most of the students they don't have interest to take MBA but they are taking MBA. My conclusion is those who are interest on MBA that people place the Indian MBA position high.

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.

Now a days main aim of any B school is to earn money. Campus drives are happening every year so they hire some consultant who contact with all college consultant and recommend to the proper day. Even stiff competition going while having recruitment process. The person who knows Business management as well as interview Process can easily crack interview.

Rather those who can't feel corporate job and self career track they don't have any future in these competitive world. So now its student Responsibility to gather his courage and move on to recruitment process and just crack it.

Top B-schools like IIMs, FMS etc have designed effective course structure for the management students. Presentations, Slide Shows, video Lectures, Debate, Group Discussions are the part of their course work. In management schools, practical knowledge is imparted along with theoretical knowledge.
