Talk about MBA, and India would come up with all the buzzing news! Whether you term it a vogue, or a bright scope, MBA has spread its roots firmly in the nation. Privatization may be marked as one reason for the unprecedented MBA growth.
With many global companies setting their feet in India and looking for people with managerial skills, MBA, which wasn’t a much sought after educational option earlier, has taken a sudden high leap.
Privatization however, is one reason that intellectuals cite. When we look at MBA from a large perspective, the scope it offers is tremendous. Its value is pertinent and applicable in all sectoral opportunities. The quantitative skills an MBA possess make him potent enough to deal with relationship and managerial situations.
If we say it’s a business scenario in India, MBA again renders its functionality here. Accounting, Finance, Marketing, Statistics or Organizational behavior, MBA skills are an expected repertoire for all, and so much so, that is has become “the language of businesses”.
Today, a Management Degree has become an attractive proposition in India, and the best part is that it render its usability in all spheres. The Indian Job industry often encounters frequent changes. Say, with arrival of dot com sector (as is the recent fad), the industry is taken by storms. Now the scalability of MBA is such that it molds itself towards every growing industry, and slips away when the fall happens. The multi tasking quality that an MBA possess flaringly gets them through all phases. For instance, an MBA with marketing specialization may not necessarily do poorly when the industry gives it a downcast. He can easily get into other marketing arenas like marketing of mutual funds, insurance policies, etc., thereby minimizing career halts.
Another approach towards the rising popularity of MBA in India is also seen as a status symbol attached with it. With MBA being revered so much, many people are assured that an entry into a good MBA institute would land them in high posts. IIM is one among the prestigious educational MBA institutes, appreciated for bringing out quality MBA scholars.
While India is abuzz with many MBA schools and institutions, choosing one may be a task. A careful research before enrolling in any institute would be a fair move for MBA seekers. Internet may be the most convenient medium in this regard.

Despite an unfolding global economic crisis, uncertainties about the pay-packets to be offered in the next placement season and the RC Bhargava Committee recommending a regulator to curtail their ‘autonomy’, at least one thing is clear to the seven Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs): the November 16 Common Admission Test (CAT) will make them richer by around Rs 23crore.
The seven IIMs in Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Kolkata, Lucknow, Kozhikode, Indore and Shillong could together make this profit from merely selling application forms, up from Rs 18 crore last year, thanks to an increase in the price of application forms sold in August this year, IIM sources told Business Line.
Last year, nearly 2.20 lakh students had appeared in the CAT and about 2,000 of them were finally selected. CAT is conducted by each of the seven IIMs in rotation to shortlist candidates for admission to the two-year postgraduate business management programmes these B-Schools run. This year, nearly 2.50 lakh students are expected to take this examination.
