MBA 2022: Amazing Tips to Select the Best MBA Colleges in India

Essential Parameters to Consider while choosing Best MBA college in India

This article will guide you in choosing the best MBA colleges in India for the year 2022 and will explain the most important parameters to consider while picking a B-school. Every year, the Ministry of Education releases the prestigious NIRF ranking of top MBA colleges in India. The ranking helps the MBA aspirants in knowing the ranks of top B-schools. However, there are various parameters you should consider while choosing a B-school.

With many top MBA colleges in India are still accepting applications, it is high time for you to make up your mind and apply for MBA at the ones which will benefit you the most.

Have you ever wondered, what makes a B-school good and how can it benefit you the most? What if you know the rankings but aren’t sure of what makes a B-school a better choice and if you are tired of searching the web for these parameters which make a B-school unique, then this article is for you.

The most important parameters to check in an MBA college in India before applying are:

The ranking

Of course, ranking is one of the most crucial prerequisites before choosing a B-school. It is believed that there is no perfect ranking system so far but the NIRF rankings are believed to be the most authentic and sought-after rankings in India. So, to begin with, check the ranking of the college.

Recognitions and Accreditations

Most MBA aspirants don’t know much about these but these are equally important. Check for NAAC and NBA accreditations. The management programmes should be AICTE approved and in the case of PGDM programmes, it should be AIU recognized to make the PGDM programme MBA equivalent.

The Programmes Offered

Well, one MBA college can be the best college for Finance but not necessarily for Marketing. Hence, know the domain of your interest, then find out which colleges are best in that domain. Some of the most popular domains are Finance, Marketing, Service Management, etc.

The Placement Record:

Another important parameter that reflects a college’s reputation in the industry. The placements record tells quite a lot about a college. Don’t just fall for the highest package, also check which recruiters came, the average package, and how many students got placed in the previous batch. The most important thing to consider while checking the placements of a college is to know the placement in the domain of your interest. For instance, if you wish to do MBA in Marketing Management, then your focus should be on which recruiters came for your stream, the number of students placed, the highest package, and the average salary.

Essential parameters to consider while choosing an MBA college
The programme Fee, Scholarship Opportunities:

Yes, it is important as it is related to the burden on your or your parents’ pockets. Check the programme fee for both the years and find out about the scholarships offered by that B-school. You may be surprised to see that you saved yourself some money.

Take advantage of social media:

Today, social media is way more than just a communication and entertainment platform. It is like a hub where you can find out quite a lot about a B-school. To be specific, visit the social media accounts of the top MBA Colleges in India and explore what is happening there. If a college does frequent guest sessions by industry experts and other extra-curricular activities then it shows that the college is a good choice as it imparts education in many ways. Follow its social media pages and keep exploring.

The Curriculum, Faculty, and Student Diversity

Last but not least is the curriculum. Find out what is taught. Find out about the faculty’s expertise and experience. And check the student diversity. If the curriculum is updated as per the current industry scenario, the faculty is experienced and well qualified, and the college has students from different regions or states of India then it is indeed a good option for you.

These 7 parameters are the most important ones an MBA aspirant should check in the B-school he or she is applying for. If a college meets your expectation in all seven parameters, then hopefully it is a good choice for you in terms of learning experience, grooming, programme benefits, placements, and ROI.

MBA Admission 2022: How to Choose the Best MBA Colleges in India

Most of the top MBA colleges in India have started taking applications for MBA 2022-24 programs. If you are also amongst the MBA 2022 aspirants and have devoted hours of practice for management entrance exams like CAT, MAT, XAT, etc, then this is the time to taste the fruits of success. It is time to get into the management institute of your choice, and the one which benefits you the most in all regards. Having said that, with so many alternatives, it becomes quite difficult for MBA aspirants to choose from the available colleges. Making a choice becomes even harder, especially when you get a call from more than one college you dreamt of.

Here, we will guide you on how to choose an MBA college that is the best choice for you.

The choices we make today will shape the tomorrow

Yes, that’s the obvious truth. With over 5000 management colleges in India, most MBA aspirants focus on the top 100. This makes the competition quite high.

Remember, the choices we make define our future, hence, it becomes imperative to make the right decisions, at the right time. For instance, If you have got a good percentile in CAT, but you missed the chance to apply at the top colleges, all your efforts, hard work, and the scorecard will go in vain.

Shortlist MBA Colleges

Make a list of the best MBA colleges based on your area of interest, ranking, MBA program fees, placements, and other essential factors. In this blog, we will guide you on how to choose the best MBA colleges based on specializations, rankings, fees, and other factors.

Tip: Start Applying

Start applying at those MBA colleges. Filling in the application form is the first step of the admissions process. You need to keep a note of important dates. An important tip is to keep on regularly checking the notifications on the website of the colleges shortlisted by you in order to ensure that you don’t miss a chance. Take the application process seriously and pay utmost attention to every detail related to it.

The Question of Millenia:

The biggest question is how to choose the college which is best for you?, Which colleges should you apply to?, and what parameters are essential for you to know before taking admission in MBA to any management college?

Here is the answer to these questions in the simplest form:

  1. Rankings and Accreditations: Always check the college’s ranking before applying. The most authentic ranking so far is the prestigious NIRF ranking. Accreditations give authenticity to the college. Check for AIU recognition, NBA and NAAC rankings, and AICTE accreditation.
  2. Placements: The most important aspect, checking the placements of that college. See the median salary, highest salary, recruiter details, etc.
  3. Program Fee: It is the third most important factor as it tells how much burden will it put on your/your parents’ pockets.
  4. Specializations offered: If you are confident about the domain you would like to go to, then you need to be extra careful while picking colleges. You should choose the ones which are doing great in the domain of your interest. For example, if you want to do an MBA or PGDM in Marketing, then you should research the best MBA colleges for marketing. Going to the best MBA college for Finance may not give you the desired fruits.
  5. Location: This is another important factor. You may either pick a good MBA college nearby to your hometown, or you may choose the one surrounded by the corporate hub. Making a choice here is your call but should be done wisely.
  6. Exams Accepted & their Cut Off: Check your eligibility first. If you are eligible to apply, understand the complete admissions process of the colleges shortlisted by you. Carefully go through the step-by-step admissions process.
  7. Extracurricular activities & Guest Sessions: Explore the social media pages of the colleges shortlisted, check what kind of activities are going on in that college. This factor is important as it provides overall grooming to the management students.
  8. Infrastructure & Facilities: It helps in the learning process.

Mr. Jaipuria quoted an example of ‘farmer burring a seed but at the same time, it is planted’ instead of feeling buried. By our situation, we must realize that difficult situations are not meant to bury us but to plant us. Having hope is having an expectation that something good will happen in the future. The change in learning style and adapting to Zoom is itself an infinite hope, and passed the best wishes virtually to the batch”.

Mr. Shah advised students, to incorporate long-term thinking in everything you do. He further added that life is a marathon and treating it like a marathon is very important. The success formula which cherished me a lot is ‘Ideas and values’, Idea is like an accelerator and Values are your breaks and tells you what to do what not to do, and quoted ‘Ideas Create and Values protect’. ‘Be your best-self and Learn, Relearn and Learn’

The Founding class graduate- Anshumal Dikshit. His 20 years. 5 industries. 1 dream project.

When you meet the 1997 PGDM alumni Mr. Anshumal Dikshit, it takes very little time to realize the secret behind all that success- the man is a perfect balance of grace and wisdom. Anshumal Dikshit has spent 20 years in the industry and interestingly, across five major sectors. He has tasted the waters of Manufacturing, Media, Banking, IT and Hospitality before he embarked on building his own successful venture as a veteran HR consultant. Today, Anshumal Dikshit runs one of the leading HR consulting agencies of North India- the HR Mantra Consulting and heads the office as its Principal Consultant.
1997 had seen Jaipuria Institute of Management, Lucknow churn out its founding class- a group full of young, dynamic and ambitious professionals who are now creating wonders across the world. The young Lucknow boy Anshumal had stepped out of the campus with a placement offer from Sona Koyo Steering Systems Limited. Having spent couple of years in the Auto component manufacturing industry, he entered the eFunds world with HR Lead and soon shifted to Banking with Citi Group. Where others saw stumbling blocks, Anshumal Dikshit saw steppingstones. He spent considerable tenures across industries, bagging promotions, taking significant hikes, changing profiles to profiles and all that while, he went on learning and gathering valuable experience throughout his journey.

In 2007 Anshumal had an offer from the Oberoi Group. A big task where he had to head the 80 years old group’s Corporate Learning and OD function. “I enjoyed the years immensely there. It was a new sector for me and there was learning at every bend and turn of the road,” remarks Anshumal as he looks back at the years traversed. And then another short stint with Videocon as its Head HR in the Manufacturing unit and then finally Patni Computer Systems happened.
The man who has jumped from one industry to another with an insatiable hunger to learn and experiment new things finally took a pause at Patni for five years. His work earned him great many accolades and praises alongside colleagues’ infinite encouraging words. Atul Kulshreshtha, Vice President Business Services at Capgemini himself says- “I have been twice lucky to have Anshumal as my HR Leader once at IGATE/PATNI and earlier at eFunds/FIS.” Needless to say, experience backed with an endless drive to learn has no substitution, whatsoever.
And just when you will think Anshumal Dikshit has arrived in life, he would surprise you with more stunts in his portfolio. He left Patni, and joined Arvato, headquartered in Gutersloh, Germany. In his words- “As a Country Head for HR, Arvato was a unique opportunity that provided me a strategic direction to the enterprise and it helped me create capability for the next league.” And finally, with all the experience under his belt- he ventured out.
In 2016, Anshumal Dikshit laid down his 20 years plan- HR Mantra Consulting, the vague dream that he had once dreamt inside the classroom of Jaipuria Institute of Management. “I had chosen my specialization with a lot of clarity in my mind but then, to dream is one thing and to execute the dreams- another,” says the charming, handsome and successful alumni of Class 1997. Bottom line- “You got to know when you are ready. Everyone wants to start up today but Experience, you need it even today. The rules are still the same, yes, the games have definitely changed,” concludes Anshumal Dikshit with a broad smile on his face.

Eduroomz – A Story of Startup by 5 Jaipurians

Among the myriad tales of start-ups in India is a tale worth telling. This is a story of innovation, dream, tenacity and above all, of relentless motivation. This is the tale of Eduroomz.

“The greatest achievement was, at first, and for a time, but a dream.”
Napoleon Hill (from Think and grow rich)

Eduroomz was the dreamchild of Akshay, one of the 5 Jaipurians from the Lucknow campus who introduced the novel concept of providing classrooms to teachers. The journey of Eduroomz started as Akshay ramped up his team and implemented his idea on small- scale. While Akshay’s dream Start-up was just budding, Jaipuria’s MiDCOM BUSINESS CHALLENGE came as a boon to his team as they were given an opportunity to present their business plan. How could their dreams fail them? They won the title and were awarded a cash prize of Rs. 5 lakhs!

“If you have zeal to succeed, you have all you need to succeed”- is what Eduroomz believe in. Eduroomz provide rooms on rent to teachers who wish to impart knowledge but lack space to make their visions a reality. So if you are a teacher and have students with the desire to teach, Eduroomz has a room for you! The best part is the nominal cost, which is as low as Rs. 49 per hour. As a token to contribute to the society and not hinder the stream of knowledge from flowing, even in absence of monetary benefits Eduroomz is determined to provide rooms of knowledge to the weaker sections of society. So if you see an air conditioned classroom at Rs. 49 per hour (irrespective of the strength of the class), flexibility in terms of timings and independent work space to teachers, you are looking at an Eduroomz!

The Eduroomz team comprises of 5 members. Since it’s a startup by students, role switching is common and in a way this strengthens the team to explore all operational perspectives.

Right from the very beginning, Jaipuria Institute of Management, Lucknow has provided an uninterrupted support to Eduroomz. Because the expert team could recognise potential in budding enterpreneurs, be it providing various platforms to showcase a plan, mentorship and guidance, or networking, Jaipuria has been a pillar of support to Eduroomz. Jaipuria has also been working upon the team’s request to incorporate an incubation centre collaborated with the U.P. government.

It’s not that there have not been obstacles in the journey of Eduroomz. When it comes to education, ideas and results often do not coincide. Eduroomz has endured the obstacles and has built up a robust client network. Eduroomz is Lucknow’s well- knit network with well-equipped classrooms, conference halls, computer labs and study lounges. Eduroomz own 50+ properties with more than five thousand teaching slots in a month, where the priority is to provide teaching by experts at affordable prices.

Eduroomz is still experimenting to include other services, planning to expand its horizons over the next decade and create a niche where online teaching is taking over offline classrooms.

The most unanimous message that these young entrepreneurs wish to convey to those who aspire to have a start- up of their own someday is to be assured that no matter how meticulously they plan, their plans will fail, but the key is to plot a new scheme every time the old one is reduced to ashes. They also suggest stepping out and analysing the needs of target customers instead of planning in isolation because the key to a successful start- up is knowing the demands of target population and targeting them. Jaipuria is glad it could provide aid to these young minds and is committed to their success throughout their journey.

The newly appointed Dr. Dayanand Pandey, Director, Jaipuria Institute of Management, Noida shares his plan to make the B School a global force

In the last few years, Jaipuria Institute of Management, Noida has cemented its place as one of the top B Schools in North India. Stunning placement record, strong faculty, and alumni pool are just some of the factors behind its meteoric rise. It has been keeping no stone unturned in its endeavor to evolve continuously so that its students keep up with the latest industry demands. And now the B School aims to explore new territories with its new Director, Dr. Dayanand Pandey set on building an even stronger global connect than before. With certification programs from London and Switzerland under his belt and teaching stints in India as well as Dubai, he has focused on helping the B School achieve his global ambitions. We find out about his plans in this interview.

A Cutting-edge curriculum for industry-ready students cannot be underestimated

Dr. Pandey brings over two decades of experience in industry and academia to Jaipuria Institute of Management, Noida. He has seen rapid changes in the industry first hand, especially as the professor of Finance. He believes that if the curriculum doesn’t imbibe the changes, students would be at a serious disadvantage. “As the Director I would like to see how our curriculum can reflect the paradigm changes in the industry. I would also like the curriculum to have a global connect because then we will be able to do students’ profile the justice it truly deserves,” he says strongly.

Strengthening the faculty pool stands among Dr. Pandey’s top to-dos

At Jaipuria Institute of Management, Noida Dr. Pandey wants to continue teaching students sharing his experience with them. He realizes the importance of having a strong faculty team to help the B School achieve its goals. While he reminds us that with around 40 faculty members for about 600 students, the faculty team remains strong, he wants to keep enhancing it continuously. “I am trying to create more space for research faculty as it will add to the intellectual base of the institute. Hiring will be a continuous process and I will keep building this valuable resource of the B School,” he adds.

Expect global expansion by leaps ad bounds

Having worked in different countries and global environments, Dr. Pandey is aware that today’s managers should be able to work in multicultural setups. With student and faculty exchange programs, getting International corporate professionals on the campus, he wants to realize the global vision. “I want to make sure that Jaipuria, Noida is connected with the best corporate companies and campuses all over the world. I want the results to show in student intake and placements as well. While our placement record is excellent, it will be good to see more foreign recruiters. So I will look to tap into markets like Dubai, Singapore, and Hong Kong,” he reveals.

A major emphasis on holistic growth

Dr. Pandey strongly believes that having in-depth knowledge of a subject can’t be the only value addition to managers of tomorrow. They need to be strong personalities, who can express themselves in the best possible way. He plans to launch more initiatives for the overall growth of students. “I will always encourage my students to participate in various kinds of activities like debates, case studies, music, sports, drama, and more. At the same time, I want to imbibe values into the students because I think success without ethics can be hollow. One has to look at the long-term roadmap for future managers,” he adds thoughtfully.

And that’s something Dr. Pandey definitely seems to have in place. He believes in giving freedom to his faculty members and students, who will be encouraged to walk in for meetings with him whenever needed. With his experience, global vision, and the open-door policy for feedback he will undoubtedly be opening new doors of success for Jaipuria Institute of Management, Noida.

In the earlier days, an only way to know about the candidate for interviewer was to read the piece of paper written by the candidate himself called CV aka Resume aka Curriculum Vitae.

A CV used to be a piece of paper- essentially but played a very vital role in deciding a candidate’s destiny. This paper acted as a guessing piece for prospective employers to know your past, present and identify how as an employee you would turn out in future.

It has been quite some time that the new CV is in the town called – Google. All one needs to do is type your name into search engine of Google, and alas what you see if you are anywhere closer to internet which is likely to be… be it FB, Twitter, LinkedIn, your past and present employers sites or any other world of online media much about this can be visible (based on your privacy controls) and they know about your virtual life in and out. Ironically statistics proves that across the globe 35 % to 66 % people are rejected by employers based on findings through Google about them. The causes of rejection can be anything from bad grammar to spell errors, obscene language to bad words for previous employer, or it can be any incongruous content. At the same time your Google presence creatively; impressive network and demonstrated professionalism ay help you to fetch the job very easily.

Are you zapped? So was I. when I thought about it. Today we just cannot imagine our life without Google. Here’s a small piece of advice for all young aspirants to manage their Google CV well. You can oversee your Google search, Fill in your details completely wherever possible, and magnify your online presence.

1. Oversee

Sketch your own personality. The one you would like to be drawn to your prospective employer. The list of adjectives that add acclaim to yourself needs to be identified. It can vary from being professional to disciplined and hardworking; confident to well connected; trustworthy to cheerful disposition just to name a few. Once you have made up your mind, Go and Google yourself. Go to all the possible pages that are visible on first 50 or 100 searches and edit / delete anything that you may feel contradicts the image you wish to carry out. If you find something contradictory, and you don’t know how to remove the same, use again Google for it. Google definitely had answers for your complicated queries and step by step instructions to follow. Be 100 percent assured that you are the only one who needed this, there are many more earlier than you have already had similar doubts. Pick the latest ones from the search options and follow the same.

2. Fill In

For this piece of portion I advise fill the fill in the blanks wherever possible, even the bullet points, sub points. I mean to say, fill in every minute details possible, until and unless you got solid reason to leave them blank. On sites like LinkedIn, Twitter definitely ensure that you fill it completely and keep it updated, since an outdated profile will only make you unprofessional.

3. Magnify it

How one can increase his virtual aura is important to note. There are several ways to do it.

Blogs: Today people right about themselves, their own thoughts, comments about the world’s latest happenings. If you don’t have one, its ok, start one today based on the expertise you carry and keep updating it on regular basis. Still don’t know how to go about it – again guru mantra is go Google it. There are over 200 million blogs in the world; all one needs to do is to find out how to avoid the identity crisis. Employers generally prefer to see concrete and expert opinions on your blogs rather than philosophical writings.

Twitter: for some writing in 25 words is in thing. Blogs have become outdated for them. Texting and tweeting have become so popular that if you go for it, brevity becomes your identified skill.

YouTube Videos: Many prospective employers wish to see your presentation videos. Use your smartphone to get some videos clicked for you and create your repository on YouTube. You may use various other options available on the internet, but YouTube is the best one that can be utilized.

Forums: the organized groups on the subject matter are formed on the internet and are available on various social networks are the right places to be in. Join the one that fits you apply and where you can speak up on regular basis and demonstrate that you are an expert in the subject/ area.it is a wise decision to get noticed as a specialist through these forums.

After this one can really feel that he/she already had a resume which is just a click away and Googling really going to be an important decision-making attribute.
