Growing demand for MBA has brought about an incoming of numerous institutes which offer several courses. Some are conventional colleges whereas some are internationally renowned institution having tie-ups with major brands and corporate giants. With such a wide choice available to the younger generation, it becomes very difficult to choose an institute which would be the perfect fit for what is needed to launch a great career.

Following are few of the points which must be kept in mind while choosing the right management institute.

• Internship- Internship and industrial training are a very important part of any management institute. Generally, a postgraduate program is of 2 years durations divided over four semesters ,it is advisable to undergo a practical experience which is also known as an internship during the tenure of course study in every semester.
• Alumni- Before finalising or shortlisting a management institute you wish to seek admission into, it is wise to check out the alumni page to see if there are any influential people who have actually graduated from the same institution; this not only helps in getting a proud feeling but can also help you with networking in the coming future. Also your queries about the college might be addressed by some pro active alumni members, helping you make the right decision.

• Reputation- Reputation is one of the most important aspects of any college. Some institutes command a great reputation with academics and company placements, whole others with their infrastructures and facilities. Make sure to value and rank what are your priorities and choices and what would you like to focus on. Based on them make sure to segregate which institute suits you best.

• Placement- One of the most important part of college life is your first placement. Getting your first job can prove to be daunting if the correct guidance is missing. Therefore a placement cell in every management institution plays a crucial role in deciding your future. A placement cell will not only help guide you in preparing for interviews and group discussion but will also invite influential companies who would gradually pick up students right from the campus.

• Fees and scholarship- Some management institutes which have international collaborations can actually prove to be very expensive as they have a choice of international exposure. Frankly, if you are looking for an institute which has an edge then it’s wise to find out about a scholarship arrangement.

• Extracurricular activities- Apart from academics, there are many other fields such as sports, dance, art and craft, singing and dancing which helps not only developing one’s personality but also helps in handling the pressure of a management post-graduation. If you have an interest in any of them and would like to pursue them side by side then there is no harm in inquiring about it with the management institute of your choice.
