INTRODUCTION: WHY YOU NEED THIS GUIDE
Choosing an MBA or PGDM is one of the biggest financial and career decisions for Indian students and families. Unfortunately, many guides focus only on:
Rankings
“Highest package” marketing
Paid promotions
This guide focuses on real concerns, especially for middle-class families and women students:
Is the campus safe?
Can I realistically get an education loan?
Are placements honest and achievable?
Is the faculty actually good?
Does metro or city connectivity matter?
Is the MBA worth the money (ROI)?
⚠️ GENERAL DISCLAIMER ABOUT PLACEMENTS
“100% placement” does not mean 100% high-paying jobs
Average salary ≠ salary every student gets
Highest package is often an outlier
Some students opt out of placements (entrepreneurship, family business, etc.)
👉 Your outcome depends more on YOU (70%) than the college name (30%)
WHO THIS GUIDE IS FOR
Commerce & Arts graduates
High CAT/MAT scorers
Average or low scorers
Students with weak academics but strong motivation
Women students and safety-conscious parents
Loan-dependent, middle-class families
HOW TO USE THIS GUIDE CORRECTLY
Do NOT pick a college based only on:
Rank
Brand name
Fee discounts
Sales calls
Instead, evaluate:
Safety
ROI
Faculty
City exposure
Loan feasibility
Internship access
PART 1: MBA ADMISSION REALITY CHECK
If You Have High Scores (85%ile+)
Focus on faculty, alumni, consulting/analytics roles
ROI usually strong
If You Have Average Scores (70–85%)
Prefer MAT/CMAT flexibility
Metro cities give internship advantage
If You Have Low Scores (60–70%)
Choose job-oriented PGDMs
Live projects + skills matter more than brand
⚠️ Disclaimer:Low scores do not mean low potential. Many average scorers outperform toppers in real jobs.
