A great career in business starts with an MBA from a good B-school. So, it’s crucial that you know the best MBA colleges in Dehradun since you have already decided to study there.
Before starting your hunt for the “Best MBA College” do a personal fact check first.
Do you meet the minimum requirements to do an MBA? You must have an undergraduate degree plus a good score in the MBA entrance exam like a CAT or MAT or GMAT, or an institute-specific exam, depending on the eligibility criteria of individual colleges. Then find out the fee range in the particular locality and ensure that either you have the capacity to pay the fees or are eligible for educational loans. If it’s a reputed B-school you might get a loan near about the fee requirement, but if it is not a reputed one the quantum of loan could be lower.
One you are satisfied that you meet the above requirements you are all set to go. The second step is, ask yourself whether you need to study in the best available MBA college or the one that suits you the best. Just as the minimum requirements we discussed, your eligibility must suit the eligibility requirements that good B-schools seek in management aspirants. If the CAT cut-offs required for admission to the “Best MBA College” is 98 percentile, obviously you can apply there only if you have that score. Now, look at the fees. Some of the MBA colleges charge very steep. Can you foot the bill? Or at least take a loan? What about the placements? In these uncertain times even the so-called “Best MBA College” cannot assure that it will have 100 percent placements after two years. So, ideally you should settle for the MBA colleges that suits you the best and not the “Best MBA College”.
Look out for the following pointers to select the college that suits you the best.
Recognition: The MBA college should be recognized by AICTE in case of autonomous institutions or by the University Grants Commission if it is offered by a university department. Check the approval status of the MBA program if you are opting for one in the private sector.
Reputation: It is important that the MBA college is well respected in academic and industry circles. For this, you can check out its ranking by reputed agencies. Rankings reflect the student quality, the quality of faculty, rigour in the admission process, program delivery, learning outcomes, final placements etc.
Ranking of B-schools by the National Institutional Ranking Framework (https://www.nirfindia.org/Home) (NIRF) and Careers360 are good enough for you to choose an MBA college. Both these agencies use verifiable data to rank B-schools or management departments of universities.
