There is a talk that MBA students (freshers) does not have placements . Is that real ?

Madhu these days you can find a MBA college at every street in a city. These are comming up like mushrooms. Not all of them are approved by UGC or DEC. That is the reason that you may be finding many candidates commenting that they have not found a job after completing MBA. But then ask the ones who have completed this post graduation course through an approved and reputed institute. Probably you may not find anybody job-less unless he/she has chosen it to be that way for some specific reason. The point is that if your MBA institite is reputed, you will be absobed soon in a job.

Hello Madhu, freshers do not have placement is absolutely wrong. The companies looks for the good student not the freshers. There are many more companies which hire freshers and they are doing much more better than the experience person. If you really want to be independent then you should pursue MBA and get in the corporate world with a good job in one of the good companies. If you looking forward to do MBA in eastern region of India you can go for United World, IEM, Globsyn Business School. GBS is one of the reputed and renowned in terms of academics, placements.

Certainly a large number of MBAs do not find jobs as per their aspirations or expectations. The lack of employability is due to low industry-academia interface and also because the faculty is not doing enough to seek consultancy assignments or conduct management development programmes. B-Schools should pay special attention to the required interface with the industry & also make sure that students develop a strong knowledge base. A number of steps need to be taken to prepare students for the selection process. Solving aptitude tests, mock interviews, group discussions are some of the preparations, which are very vital. Also, communication and presentation skills of the students need to be improved. It is the responsibility of business schools to prepare students systematically during the two-year course so that they can match with the industry expectations. Students must realise that they have to work hard to get attractive jobs and not just desire for them. Freshers passing out of B-schools today lack in some key areas such as confidence, writing an effective CV, interview-handling skills, participation in group discussions and exposure to operational issues among others. The resume should always stand out as it creates the first impression of the candidate. It reflects your creativity and the learnings apart from the basic information provided. MBA freshers are not being employed because of various reasons. The biggest problem is that majority of today’s MBA holders don’t have any work experience before pursuing their degrees. Exposure to the business world always helps in learning management skills. Also, the MBA course has become too academic. Majority of the students who pass out have worked only on one project, which is compulsory. Only attending lectures and studying will not fetch you a good job. The MBA students need hands-on training. They should work on multiple projects. The second year of the course should largely focus on practical work instead of theory. When it comes to placements, many students fail in providing presentable resumes. Hence, in spite of having good skill-sets, many don’t get shortlisted for any campus recruitment because of their dull resume. Another issue is that many students lack professionalism. There is also a need to re-look at the specialisations offered. Feel free to raise more questions. Appreciate by giving it THUMBS UP or Marking as BEST. All the Best!
