Home to Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad (IIMA), the city needs no introduction when it comes to management education.  It also occupies the third spot in ease of living parameters among 111 Indian cities with a population of more than one million according to the latest government report in this regard. So, it is quite natural that an MBA aspirant wants to know the best MBA colleges in the city.

The number of top class B-schools or MBA colleges are only a handful in Ahmedabad and hence you must necessarily ponder whether you should study at “the best” institution or the one that suits you the best. This is because “the best” may not match your individual eligibility. For example, if you don’t have 98 percentile score or more you can easily forget IIMA which is the best in Ahmedabad and also the best in India. Even if you do, can you afford it fee of Rs. 23 lakh? So, the next best thing to do is to choose the MBA college that is best suited for you.

Here are some parameters you should consider when you start hunting for the best MBA college in Ahmedabad .

First is the recognition for the program from the regulators, AICTE or UGC, depending on the status of the institution. Then you should look at the program delivery of the institutions where you want to study. Does it have a rigorous admission process? Does it select students from tough entrance exams like CAT or MAT or is its institute-specific exam a respected one? Does it have the right ambience for learning including excellent faculty with PhDs and industry experience? Does it have a good library and membership in world class online libraries that you can access? And the most important one, does it offer good placements with top of the line salaries? As return on investment or RoI matters to everyone, final placements should get due consideration in your choice of a good MBA college. While looking at the final placement report, find out the median salary and the number and percentage of students placed. Along with this, look at the job profiles offered and the industry wise distribution of companies that visited the campus for placements.

If you are not too confident that you can find out all these details on your own and zero in on a handful of B-schools that fit your bill, the best thing to do is to look up the ranking of B-schools by respected ranking agencies.

Rankings are based on parameters like student quality based on cut –offs in entrance exams, faculty quality based on experience and qualifications, program delivery, pass percentage, final placements, highest, lowest and median salary etc.

You can check out the National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF) by the Central education Ministry or the ranking by respected agencies like Careers360 that uses verifiable data to rank institutions.
