Factors to Take into Account When Choosing a Non-IIM MBA College

Here is some guidance on how to cut down your list of non-IIM business schools since new management institutes are being established every year.

Faculty and Learning Environment

On the B-Schools' official website, look for the teaching staff's professional experience, educational background, research/publications, and industry engagements. Additionally, the faculty assists in creating connections and networking possibilities for the students at the institution that will benefit them after two years of the programme. The faculties who teach doctoral programmes contribute to the growth of research opportunities in the sector and in their specialized fields. As a result, the best Non-IIMs are also assessed based on their faculties.

Student Diversity and Background

Only when the peers are academically motivated can peer-to-peer learning and the encouragement of healthy competition take place. Outside learning and group conversations also play a significant role in shaping an individual's career and personality, thus learning is not just dependent on in-class instruction. Make a sensible decision on your Non-IIM MBA programme so that you can network with the greatest professionals and people from a variety of backgrounds.

Programs and Concentrations

You must pick a specialization and an institute carefully if you wish to obtain an MBA. The General Management Program (GMP) and Specialization-based Program are the two types of MBA programmes that are available (SP). In comparison to SP, GMP provides greater placement prospects because it allows for the freedom to select any industry and enables diversification. Programs offered by institutions like XLRI, MICA, TISS, etc. specialize in one field or cater to a certain sector.

Record of Internships and Placements

It is a good idea to confirm the authenticity of the placement rates provided by the B-Schools on their websites. Take a look at the specific placement rates, typical incomes and the highest pay offer, number of businesses with on-campus presences, and summer internship opportunities.
