Tan MBA today represents enlargement and career opportunities. Today, there are about 700 institutes in the country offering MBA programmes. These institutes exert themselves to hone students and make certain they are ready with the necessary levels of decision-making aptitude and business-handling skills. This often leaves a student with a mind-boggling number of options. Watch out for the following when decide your institute or if faced with having to decide between institutes.

(1). Placement record

The placement record of the previous years is normally available on the web sites of the institutes or in its brochures. Instead of vague data about placements, look for specifics:

(A). For foreign jobs, look at the percentage of students placed abroad.

(B). Keep an eye out for the average salary offered per annum, as well as the maximum and the minimum salary offered per annum.

(C). The number and kind of companies that appear at the institutes and the kind of offers that are being made will largely influence your choice once you have a call from an institute.

(D). The duration of the placement days — if all the placements occurred on Day 1 or Day 2 and so on might be reflection of the demand of the students from that institute.

(2). Infrastructure

Infrastructure means the resources an institute has at its disposal. Translated, this means better facilities for students. Infrastructure would consist of various factors like campus area in acres, total number of classrooms, etc. Today, the total number of computers, the ratio of students to computers, etc, would also be important to deliver an edge in education.

(3). Intellectual brawn power

The intellectual capital of an institute would mean the experience of the faculty, the number of books and library budget allocation of the institute. The number of management-related books in the library, access to published journals or online journals, etc, will give you a fair idea of this.

The experience of the sense of the institute is an indication of the learning imparted at the institute. Keep in mind factors similar to the total number of permanent faculty and whether there is a fair mix of pertinent industry and teaching experience.

(4). Industry interaction

The level of industry interaction indicates where exactly an institute stands in real time with the industry. The number of programmes conducted by the institute both on its premises and at companies, as well as the number of workshops and seminars held is direct indicators of the industry perception towards that institute.

(5). Exchange programmers

Check if the institutes you are considering offer exchange programmes. These are ordinary at most IIMs, IITs, etc. They depiction students to the international management arena, offering insights into a global trade environment and business practices.

(6). History

When the institute was recognized reflects the kind of time it has had to expand and found itself. This will have a straight crash on the kind of placements as well as other resources at the institute.
