The much awaited CAT 2013 results will be announced on January 14, 2014 and as the year 2013 ends, the application process of some of the leading b schools for 2014-16 also reaches to its last date.

This article by MBAUniverse.com will provide you list of leading B schools across cities like Delhi NCR, Mumbai, Bangalore, Chennai, Ahmedabad, Bhubaneswar, Jamshedpur, etc where admission process for Batch 2014-16 will end in next 7 days.

If you have not applied to these top B schools yet, this is your last chance to take the right decision and approach 2014 with a positive mind set.

In this article, we wish to make you aware of the relevance of 3 key factors that should be looked at while selecting a B-School i.e. Location of the B school, Placement and fees. So read on to get an insight of leading B schools and the effect of a particular location on your MBA Education.

3 key factors in selection of a B school: Given the large number of institutes claiming to be the best, it is difficult for an aspirant to make the right decision on the quality of the school. Hence, it is necessary for aspirants to understand the key parameters of the B Schools that are to be looked at. 

A. Location of the B school

Location refers to the geographical location of the B School. The location indirectly affects the placements on the campus. The impact that the location has on an institute is little for the top schools, like the IIMs, while it becomes more and more pronounced as we go down the ratings list.

Chances of high Placements are better at B schools located in places where there is a concentration of business and industry. This is due to the fact that companies find it much easier to recruit management graduates from institutes located geographically closer to their own headquarters/branch office rather than visit an institute located far away.

B. Placement

A large number of B schools boast of 100 per cent placement record. With management institutes coming up rapidly all over the country, these claims by B schools should be scrutinized closely. Placement parameter is important as it indicates the ROI an aspirant will get after pursuing MBA from the institute. 

C. Fee

Due to economic fluctuations, price rice is a common phenomena and same is the case with B schools where fees is rising sharply. It is thus necessary that one needs to ensure that the kind of return on the fee being invested also works out to be decent. Fee is a non issue for the good schools. Loans are easily available for these schools and the ability of the students to repay their loans is also high due to the good placements offered by these schools. Hence, fee should not be an influencing factor for the top schools, like the IIMs.

Effect of a particular location on your MBA Education: MBAUniverse.com gives you an insight of how a particular location affects your overall MBA Education. They key factors taken up are Price Index or Cost of pursuing an MBA in a particular city, Location Advantage for MBA, Leading B schools and their last date to apply.
