Some points to ponder over, when you choose your B-School:

Consider the cost and location
For many, the decision starts and ends with the cost of tuition. The decision whether to relocate also plays a large part in the decision-making process.
It also pays to consider what you want to do after you graduate and where you want to do it. The network you establish during your time at business school can mean lifetime connections.

Know whether you qualify for any scholarships or special funding
Scholarships can be worth lacs and are awarded based on various criteria. The most common scholarships are awarded for academic excellence. Other scholarships include athletic/ merit-based, and needs-based scholarships.
At ITM Business School, for example, a large number of scholarships are available for students on various different criterion.

Utilize leading rankings like NIRF/ATAL/OUTLOOK etc.
Love them or hate them, rankings can help give a good idea of what the business schools you’re interested in are like and how they compare to other schools.

Find out what additional services and support the school provide
For example, If the b-school supports students in building their professional career through internships, business cases, seminars, conferences and entrepreneurship opportunities. Within the school, the Career Center offers professional support and personalized advice when it comes to helping students find a placement, or help them get ahead in their inevitable graduate career search.

Be realistic – are the entry requirements achievable for you?
It’s easy to get lost in the myriad of business school prospectuses and all they have to offer. But it’s important to bear in mind what your chances are of being accepted into the school and programme of your choice.
Many business schools (but not all), will require you to have a CAT/MAT/GMAT test score and/or attend an interview.

Consider the study format/ specialisation and teaching pedagogy:
Different schools have different curricula and specialisations, so you’ll want to research whether the school you’re interested in aligns with your career ambitions and personal interests.

What do you value the most when it comes to your studies? Are you looking for a programme that places a strong emphasis on all areas of business and leadership?

In all these factors, ITM Vocational University is way ahead of ITM SLS.
