subject: What Makes A B-school Good? [print this page]

Is it the multi-acre air conditioned campus? Is it an army of faculty having

decades of teaching experience? Is it the list of blue-chip companies on

their board? Is it the flurry of promises made about the placements? What is

it? This is a million dollar question which the multi-billion dollar

education sector in India is facing and still unable to find an answer to.

All these factors are indispensable, but their presence doesn't ensure the

'ideal' business school'.

"Over regulated and under governed" would best describe the largest sector

in India. Considering the fact that two-thirds of the billion plus

population of India belong to the 'youth' segment, the target market for

this sector is gigantic. But also rising at an equally rapid rate is the

'commercialization' of this process.

Today, an average Indian's lifestyle and aspirations have changed by leaps

and bounds. With increasing consumerism hiking search for high-paying job

opportunities, the demand for management schools has seen an

uncharacteristic surge and holds immense future potential as well. With time

however, students have realized that there is more to a B-school than just

placements and aesthetics. Today they are aware that the quality of

education imparted and the modes of this knowledge transfer are equally

important. Students are now broadening their vision and looking at a stint

at a b-school as a value addition process and eventually value creation for

the corporate world and society as a whole.
