OR Choosing the Right B-school There are over a thousand Bschools in India, and about half a

dozen rankings. In such a scenario, finding the right B-school becomes quite a task. What matters is not obtaining an MBA, but doing a program that

is respected and recognized. Once you identify your dream Bschool, go all out to make sure that you get in. What Makes a Good B-

school: Parameters for Selection To get you started, here is a list of a few aspects you need to look at while selecting B-schools and make sure that you are on the right track. If it

does not throw up the best choice, it will at least help you shortlist those that you need to apply to. Read more about the Bschool application and selection

process Where do you want to study? First and foremost, you need to decide where do you want to do an MBA from. This can be a choice between doing an MBA

from India or abroad. You need to realize that the admission process, eligibility criteria and screening process for both may differ.

For pursuing an MBA in India, there are several locational factors you will have to consider, such as the proximity of the B-school to business hubs. The location of

a B-school greatly influences the level of interaction between a Bschool and industry, thus affecting the quality of education and visiting faculty, if any.

What does the B-school offer? You need to take a look at the school, its learning environment and the programs offered, whether approved and

certified by 'All India Council for Technical Eduction' (AICTE) - the official governing body responsible for regulation of higher education in India;

curriculum, full-time faculty, campus services and the student body. A good infrastructure assures sound technical and logistical support.

What is the balance between faculty and research? It is a top Bschool's ability to attract and retain topclass faculty and its emphasis on the quality of

research that separates it from others. Most business schools strive for a balance of both. All top Bschools have a strong focus on research and provide extensive, contextual and

relevant study material. What is the placement record? Find out the program’s acceptability from the point of view of the list of potential recruiters you

have in mind, analyze this through the Bschool’s placement statistics of the last three years, the number of students that were picked by top-notch companies and

the differential placements of the various Bschools. In this regard, also find out how active is the placement cell and/or the alumni network. How is a B-

school ranked? In the last few years, there have been various surveys conducted every year that evaluate and compare Bschools using a consistent

criteria. The results of these surveys could help you target some of the top B-Schools. Remember to take all of these surveys with a pinch of salt though and not to bother about

the exact ranking of 'a' survey, but with the general opinion of a few put together. Read more about the top B-schools Does a B-

school provide affiliations and exchange? B-schools have collaborations with acclaimed international B-schools. For example ISB, Hyderabad offers an

International Student Exchange Program, which gives students the opportunity to study for 1-2 terms at leading business schools such as the London

Business School (UK) and Kellogg School of Management (USA). IIM Kozikode encourages international student exchange with B-schools such as the

European School of Management (ESCP-EAP) in Paris and the European Business School in Frankfurt. Exchange programs and affiliations

encourage a healthy, cosmopolitan learning environment and promote global standards of education. Such programs are optional, even if you do not participate

in a program yourself, the experience of interacting with visiting students will also benefit you alot. Does a Bschool offer financial aid?

MBA programs do not come cheap. However, it is quite easy to obtain financial aid for pursuing an MBA, especially if you are doing the MBA from one of the top

ten B-schools. Most Indian Bschools do not offer scholarships till you reach the 2nd year and most of these are merit based. However, most banks are willing to give

students a loan to pay for their education at extremely nominal rates and these are not required to be repaid till you start working. It is highly recommended that you do not

allow financial constraints to stop you from joining a good B-school and to go in for loans. In fact, these loans actually reduce your tax burden once you start drawing those

6-7 figure salaries. Read more about financial planning Who features in the B-school alumni? If the alumni of the school are in well-

respected positions in various industries, it automatically ensures a good standing for the school in the corporate world, which, in turn, implies better placement

opportunities. What is your need? Today an MBA is no longer limited to marketing, finance and other traditional specializations. Applicants

now have various options to choose from. For example specializations like rural management (IRMA), foreign trade (IIFT), retail (KJ Somaiya, Welingkar's &

SP Jain), supply chain management (NITIE), systems management (IIMC, IITBombay) among others. So, if you are interested in a specific filed of study, find out

which B-school offers the relevant course and apply to them. There are certain Bschools which are reputed for their specializations; for example MICA is known for its

Advertising, IRMA is known for their rural management course, etc. Read more about how to choose specializations

Do your own

research You can acquire information about Bschools by doing some basic research. It will help you ensure your decision

about your Bschool of choice, which you might have derived following the abovementioned parameters. Here are a few media that will help

you in your research: The Internet A quick, vast and updated resource. Websites of the B-schools provide you with detailed

information about the faculty, programs offered, facilities they offer and alumni forums that might interest you and help you

take your decision. Counselors They are updated and trained to offer career guidance. They are aware and in constant touch with

the latest happenings in B-schools and the programs that they offer. Once the counselors gauge your aspirations and your

level of readiness, they can assist and provide you with proper career guidance. But be sure to meet trained and professional

counselors. Do you want us to help you find a counselor? Alumni Get it from the horse’s mouth. Speaking to the alumni

gives you a student's perspective into the Bschool. Talk to them for information regarding the kind of work you plan to pursue. It will provide you

with a very different and highly personalized perspective.
