Choosing the right MBA college is a crucial decision you must take once you decide to go for management education.  Even if the location does matter, you must be flexible enough to move across the state instead of being stuck to a particular city.

First draw up a list of MBA colleges in the particular location where you can study. You can take the help of ranking by reputed agencies to arrive at this decision. I would advise you to look up the National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF) released by the central education ministry every year and also ranking by trusted agencies like Careers360 which is respected by the industry and the academic community.

Ranking by takes into consideration some of the basic parameters like teaching and learning resources; research, publications and patents; graduation outcomes which basically mean how many students pass out and placements; and outreach and inclusivity of the batch which include scholarships, diversity etc.

The Careers360 ranking also takes the above into consideration and also follows it patented Input, Process, Output methodology using verifiable data and does not give any weightage for perception, which ensures accuracy.

You can check out the NIRF ranking or log on to https://www.careers360.com/compare-colleges to choose between MBA colleges in terms of course, fee, placement, accreditation and more.

IIM Calcutta has a median salary of Rs. 23.7 lakh and IIT Kharagpur Rs. 19.6 lakh. Median salary is a good indicator of the placement strength of an institution because it is the average of salaries offered to the passing out batch. International Management Institute has a decent enough median salary of Rs.7.51 lakh. IIM Calcutta and IIT Kharagpur also have 100 percent placement while it is 95 percent at International Management Institute, Kolkata.

Based on these rankings, here is a list of top MBA colleges in Kolkata. I have also included IIT Kharagpur as it is only about 140 kilometers from Kolkata.
