The MBA is a great tool to round out your academic background. It can lift you up from the narrow view of your discipline, whether it is engineering/science, sales, HR or accounting, and give you a better overall view of the business world. A good MBA program can do two things. First, it can expose you to courses and skills that are outside your current core functions. While you may never actually use all of those skills, they will provide you with an understanding of what people actually do throughout your organization. If you are an engineer, for example, you might appreciate marketing more. If you are in HR, you will have a better understanding of what supply chain issues are in today's business world. This broadening of your background will, just by itself, help you do your job better.

Even though there is high demand for MBA graduates in our country, our country needs almost 5, 00, 000 MBA graduates who are efficient. I wanted to highlight the word efficient because most of them are just finishing their degree in order to acquire high packages. But there is a lot of difference between students who finish their MBA in B-schools and who finish their MBA in local colleges. People who will get MBA degrees from top most B-schools are really efficient because they will have practical exposure where as most of us will just have theoretical knowledge. Every one knows that MBA is an ever green field and is becoming more popular now a days, so every individual is competing for various competitive exams like XAT, CAT, FFS, MAT. Etc to get admissions in top most B-schools.

Friends. I think over rating of MBA is not due to the reason that the students want high qualification but the reason is the high and attractive package they'll get after MBA. Students are more interested in package than MBA.
More over not only the Commerce students are go for MBA but also the science background students also try for it after B. Tech. And also from other fields.
But do you think that after MBA from a good college, a student is able to perform his job until he gets the practical knowledge of that work.
I think that practical knowledge is more important than grasping the books from a reputed college.
India needs such kind of colleges which will provide practical knowledge more than the bookish knowledge.

Over rated in India by this term we understand that more and more Indians are aspiring Or giving value to MBA than it is actually worth for. To some extent it is true now, as most of the students are now pursuing it as a means to get into lucrative job rather then thinking how he or she can upgrade her skills through MBA and contribute to generate value. There is also another myth prevailing about top 20 B school is that if a student is from there that means it guaranteed high value creation, we have seen so many successful people not a MBA yet generate higher value than students from top tier school. To keep it short follow your passion not a degree to be successful and that's how you can live your dream job.

MBA is overrated in India first we need to understand that we have two parallel in MBA, one is government owned MBA colleges another one is B-School, the student mainly think that if they do MBA they will get job for sure, if we notice in these days the number of B-School in India is just keep increasing, the student who does MBA in govt colleges those students only look for certificate and normal job but don't even try to grab more knowledge on the specialization but in case of B-School they are taking more fees and also placing the student for decent packages but those are like training institution just focusing on teaching the skill which required to do a MBA not concentrating on any moral ethics.

Hello Everyone,
It requires no discussion to say that MBA is the best thing that can bring life changing career.
One needs to consider the demand that is given to the MBA holders through placements.
It is really breathtaking.
A succesfull company owner will not hier low talent for great amount, that indeed can say the demand it has.
We should also consider the resources we need in our country.
A fast growing country like India not only requires a good engineer but also a good administration.
A talent not used the best is wasted.
So,
I say MBA is not overrated because of the illusions of the aspirants but because of the high demand in need of the right administration and management.

Dear friends,
Let us all agree to the fact that India being a developing Economy and a country which is seen as a super future super power has one of the biggest and most powerful resource available, Human Resource. Doing an MBA from an reputed institute is only the tip of the ice berg. People Pay hefty fees, Toil their heads and yet MBA fetches them nothing, At the end of the day you have, 1000 students with merely 10 placements. What a shame! But the Irony is people knowing the Dark side of MBA, still choose it. God knows why?
Lets realize the fact, that its a business deal where students loose and the Mafia (Institute Owners) win.
Its a Win-Lose situation, chose yours wisely.

Yes it's true that MBA in India is highly overrated this may be due to the high salary packages given to the individuals after completing MBA. These days everyone wants to do MBA and the main reason for this is that the scope of growth in this field is much more when compared to any other field.
Also its open for any graduate from any field for e. G. The scope for a simple arts graduate is nowhere but when the same graduate completes his MBA from any top b school of India his importance is much more increased. Not only graduates but also software engineers are moving towards MBA because of promising growth as well as high salary packages.

I think that the future of a person depends only if he selects his course according to his wish. MBA graduates will have very good job offers in India in the coming years as India is going to be a big business location. The central government has shown the green flag for the implementation of foreign investment in India. Really in the coming years the life of Indians would be on the hand of great MNC's. MNC's will decide: what indians should eat, wear and how we should live. So there will be many job offers for MBA graduates. Even the MBA graduates can start their own companies if they don't get any job.

Yes, In India, many things are Overrated, but those things have demand in a market that is why it is overrated MBA is not a waste of time but is beneficial for all us whether it is from Science, Commerce, Arts or Hotel Industry. It is up to the people how they can do and many things is that if you are doing MBA you have learned something from it and apply in real life whether it is corporate life. I have seen many people after 4 years of exp they are going for full-time MBA, many people will say their opinion but at the end, in my opinion, neither leaning can be waste or degree can be waste.
