Education is a very
important part of today’s life. If we go for a management degree then choosing
a B school becomes a very important part of one’s life.
There are few points one
should always remember while choosing a B School.
1) Alumni
and Recruiters Network: While choosing a B School one should always look for
their previous alumni and the recruiters associated with the B School. Whether
the B School would be able to groom them and provide placement they are looking
for because in a market there are ‘N’ Numbers of Management Colleges so we need
to choose our College wisely.
2) Student
Community: For this we need to ask ourselves what kind of classmates you want.
What kind of culture you are looking for? Students should always understand the
difference between a professional culture and personal culture then they will
be able to choose their B School wisely. For Example: If you want to be part of
an international community, then find out the percentage of overseas students
and faculty.
3) Academic
Community: One should always be clear about their thought process what they
want to do in their life so they should be sure what kind of faculty they are
looking for because faculty plans a very important role in life.

and Cost: Few people thing location does not matter for programme its just an
irrelevant point but choosing a location is also a most important point because
world is full of diversity and if you are known with the place, local language
etc then it increases your chances of job in that city as according to today’s
scenario companies prefer a person who is updated with the market as it
decreases the training cost for company. And cost is also a very important part
whether you will be able to afford the living of the city or not so student
should always look for the financial institution they can help and financial
institution also helps on the reputation of college.
