Story of MBA in India

Story of MBA in India

Note: Here I am not talking about 2% of mba colleges which everyone is competing for but I am talking about mba education in india as a whole.

Mba colleges in India still believe in making jack of all and master of none.

Its very sad that our education system is purely money minded. There was an era when mba degree was available in every college & there were no standard/ syllabus set for exams. Every university had their own mba and everything was dependent on the educators in the university and was mostly dependent on their skillsets and dependent on their own work exposures, which was very rare to find in every university as most of the teacher have only been teachers with a very less amount of understanding of the real working environment.

Due to which there has been a big gap between what mba's have learned and what they got into.

The employers in that particular era also started looking for mba's and started asking a normal graduate to get a mba degree to get a better job but in reality that job was meant to be performed by a graduate. Which was an understanding between the educators and employer's.

Meanwhile, the fresh mba's started understanding they are not getting the right jobs.

To still attract people for mba's the educators started offering different specialisation namely marketing, finance and human resource which was joined by information technology in a little later stage. In this era every university was competing against each other and were trying to give us different courses which they can come up with, to compete.

Now the new mba's started realising the the job is still very different than what they were taught.

Then the educators started offering dual specialisation to attract new mba's by giving them a hope of specialing in two fields which was again just a way to make money from students but not providing them proper education.

As before due to the educators new strategy every university started dual specialisation without any change in the teaching standards.

It will be somewhat fair to say the educators in that era were also jack of all and master of none and so that's what mba's become.

Hopefully, people must have realised till now that mba is not something you do after you graduate. First you work in the real world and look for what field interest you and then do your masters.

Our education system is still hopeless and dumb, its time for people to become smart in making their decision and not relying just on the educators because they are not thinking about you they only wanna make money and stay in competition. The competition in the real world is not between people but it's more between educators and organizations.

We are just being used and as soon
as we realise, we will get the proper understanding of what path everyone of us should choose and where can we achieve our highest potential.

The era which I have been talking about is still here and to change it is in our own hands. We need to understand a difference between advertisement & reality, we also have to understand our priorities.

Is your priority a laptop offered by your college or its proper knowledge. 

Your priority is to study two semester abroad or is to get a better understanding of the real world working.

In that era the difference between a mba & graduate was just the presentation skills. Which was the only thing missing in graduation degree a proper personality development class.

A normal mba in India was a way to earn money for educators but actualy mba was suppose to be like professional MBA. Where you work in a field, find your area of interest and then start looking for mastering that particular field.

We have around 4500 mba colleges and only a small percent of these colleges believe in providing quality education. There is surely a need of proper set of standards which is more inclined towards education seeker than educators. Also the government should take a responsibility to ensure that the public is not being fooled by the educators. Have a set of strict guidelines for the permission to set-up mba colleges.

Government's looking for setting better guidelines more specific to public can connect with us for better public protection.
