India today has more than 5500 MBA colleges. Needless to say that most of these colleges do not add any value to a student graduating from them. Some of these colleges spend heavily on advertising and create a false perception of education quality and placements. A study by ASSOCHAM said that only 7% of MBA graduates are employable and the rest earn less than INR 10k a month if they find placements. A situation like this makes choosing the right B-School one of the most important decisions you will be making in your life. I have mentioned a few parameters that may help you in the process.
Six months into Management Institute, I look back and think 2017 has been the best of this decade so far. The massive reason being my successful admission into IIM Calcutta, completing the first 4 months at Joka (our beloved IIM C campus is called ‘Joka’) and bagging an internship at TAS which had been a dream for two years. All these phenomenal changes on paper along with finding a different personality in me have been like nothing before ever in life. It looks so hunky dory on the outside when said but just like a movie production where a bunch of people work so hard to get the actors on screen and make it a success, my story had a lot of characters in it to bring it so far. TL-DR; it’s been this- ‘At Joka, we leave no one behind’ - A line I heard during my city meets with the PGP2s after getting the admission letter. But it’s more than just a line. It’s been the essence of the past 6 months at Joka and almost all of 2017. Allow me to elaborate.
