However Prof S K Agarwal, mentor on MBA education and expert on Verbal Ability shares that good MBA admission options are still available and in case you want to pursue your MBA in 2016, this is the right time to choose the B-school of your choice out of these good options.

Admission results by all the IIMs and other top rated B schools for PGP/MBA 2016-18 have either been declared or about to be declared very shortly. MBA aspirants with moderate scores in entrance tests like CAT 2015/XAT 2016/CMAT 2016/MAT 2016 and 2015 find themselves standing at cross roads whether they can get admission in a highly ranked B school in 2016 or should target admission 2017.

Taking admission to these B schools is the dream of MBA aspirants but due to one or other factor they have not been selected in final admission list. You can still seek admission in their MBA or PGDM  programmes either in their other campuses or in the same campus where admissions are open.  While some of the B schools like MDI set up their second campus a year ago, the other campuses of   IMT, IMI, BIMTECH are a little older.

There are number of B schools who have better corporate interface than many IIMs and over the years have built up a reputation of offering good return on investment.
