A good option is to go to a professional institute like Imarticus Learning which provides short term courses that lead to lucrative careers in Investment Banking companies like JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs and Nomura. This is anyway a better option than doing an MBA after college as you get work experie

Most had rightly mentioned many other options within India and one can surely look at them. However, my advise would be to look for a B-school in US or Australia or New Zealand for greater applied learning, superior grooming and truly global exposure which not not available in Indian B-schools.

First of all, people need to understand that MBA from every institute do not fetch good job and good career. India, where supply of useless MBA on paper is more than than demand and the money minded of institutes compromise with the quality people must be beware opting an institute. If not IIM peopl

It is the dream of all MBA aspirants to get admission in the IIms, however not every student get into IIMs, so apart from IIMs and other top B-schools, is it worth taking admission in B and C category B-school, I would request @||Dr. Sudhiranjan Dey|| and @||Govind_S|| to share their expert opinion

As said by @||Tapan44862|| yes "Plan C" is a good suggestion not just to those who so not fit in Plan B but also want more.
I came across an MBA aspirant who scored 98% last year in CAT but she could not make it to I.I.M-A (her dream) and hence she dropped an year and will be sitting again this yea

I feel that if I cant get through IIM's or other top 50 B-Schools of India then it is worthless to opt for state level B-schools as they charge heavy fees but learning process is just sluggish and there are no placements gurantee. So, rather choose gov/private such institutes which are not B-Schools

It's surprising that after 5 pages of discussion no one has mentioned the PLAN C - dropping an year.
It's no secret that cracking CAT/XAT has an element of luck. I've seen many cases where people have got MDI/SIBM/IMT etc. but have stuck around to clear CAT/XAT the next year.
In cases where the a

Students who have scored approx 70% should be very careful. What has been observed , that students just wait for the CET ( maharsahtra) outcome and loose on opportunity in good institutes.
Some are only brand concious....and do not understand the quality parameters..

IIMs are not an end by themselves. After all, management education is about empowering yourself with problem solving skills. Any good management institution should be OK as long as they make you earn your degree and not grant it or sell it. There are many reputed MBA programs like the MBA of Bren
