MBA in India

MBA Course Structure in India and Abroad
While highlighting the course structure of MBA courses in India and abroad, one can see many differences and similarities both. The MBA course curriculum abroad has a more practical approach where students are given case studies of various business entities and are asked to review those. This helps the student understand how to apply something that he/she has learnt theoretically into actual business practice. This is an interesting and engaging method as compared to the majority MBA programs in India, which are still more focused on the theoretical aspects. With time, however, at least the top b-schools in India are making changes and introducing new concepts and courses in MBA curriculum. Placement Opportunities
The placement process in Indian B-schools is relatively easier as students get an opportunity to interview with top companies on campus. In fact, the toppers at some of these B-schools get multiple offers. But when it comes to the placement process abroad, things work differently. The school usually does not guarantee a job. Students have to put in efforts and reach out and network with their dream companies in order to land a cushy job. Average Salary after MBA
When it comes to the average salary, there is a lot of difference between the average annual packages at Iims, ISB, other top Indian B-schools, and the topmost business schools abroad. Pass outs from ISB draw an average salary of Rs. 18 Lacs while those from IIM-A can expect to get around Rs. 19 Lacs. The alumni of some of the most prestigious and reputed universities abroad such as Harvard and Wharton can get an average salary of Rs. 78 Lacs.

Here are a lot of ratings and rankings out there - some paid, some truthful, some very close to accurate and some outright outrageous. This is my ranking for B-schools according to my experience with CAT for the past two years. IIM, Ahmedabad (PGP only)IIM, Bangalore. IIM, Calcutta. FMS, Delhi (Ranked better due to excellent ROI)XLRI, Jamshedpur (Ranked 1st for HR in Asia) and IIM, Lucknow (PGP only). IIM, Kozhikode = MDI, Gurgaon = SPJIMR, Mumbai (one can argue this to be in the same league as XLRI and IIM-L for applicants with experience; but at the same time disadvantageous if you are not clear about your specialisation) IIFT Delhi (+1 for trade). NITIE, Mumbai (1st for Operations) = SJMSOM, Mumbai (IIT B) =IIM, Indore (Huge Batch Size, Huge weightage to 10th/12th marks) = JBIMS (Maharashtra Only Preference Pushes this down the list)IIM Shillong (Locational Disadvantage) = NMIMS, Mumbai (Locational Advantage, but high Fees) = SIBM IIFT Kolkata. TISS, Mumbai ( only HR is taught) = IIM, Ranchi (for only PGP). IIM, Trichy (slightly better than IIM U, Rohtak ; slightly below IIM, Ranchi) = IIM, Udaipur = IIM, Rohtak = Dorms (IIT Delhi), Delhi.

There are a lot of benefits of having a Ph.D:
a) You can indulge in the luxury of having Dr as your title. B) You'll learn how to be tough (mentally tough that is) from all the grilling, criticizing, and second guessing you will have to endure when you present your research proposal. C) Your analytical skills will sky rocket. This really depends on the type of Ph.D. you pursue, but it is a given that you will learn to sharpen your analytical skills, and will then be able to apply these skills to subsequent ventures. D) It is the highest possible degree that you can achieve. If you strive for greatness, and nothing short of being the best will do, a Ph.D. will definitely fulfill your intellectual satisfaction. E) You will be a recognised expert in your field, and you will have a piece of paper to prove it. Who knows, you may even be lucky enough to win a Nobel Prize one day!
f) Some jobs actually require you to have a Ph.D. or equivalent.
