Which are the best MBA colleges in Bengaluru in Placement?

Bengaluru is one of India’s most happening places with top class infrastructure, great living facilities and to top it all, has a great weather most of the year. It headquarters top of the line IT companies, and has come to be called “India’s Silicon Valley”. So, quite a large number of MBA grads want to study there and settle in a job there. So, for the MBA aspirants it’s natural that they would like to know the best MBA college in Bengaluru as far as placements are concerned.

The reason why all MBA students want to know about placements is because they spend over a year preparing to crack tough entrance exams like CAT, MAT or institute-specific exams; spent a hefty fee; studied for  two years; went through summer placements and are now stepping into a lifelong career.

To find out the best MBA colleges in placements, the first thing you do is to compare the placement records of various good colleges. Top of the class MBA colleges always give credible information regarding their placements on their websites. Since placements play a big role in how MBA colleges are ranked by national agencies like the National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF) or respected private agencies like Careers360, the ranking of the institutions is a good indicator of their ability to place students.

However, there is a catch. Ranking alone cannot give you the exact position as far as final placement alone is concerned. Factors like student quality, faculty to student ratio, infrastructure of the college, quality of teachers et al also influence ranking along with placement data. So an MBA college with good student and teacher quality may be ranked higher than a college with superior placement records.

A number of MBA colleges make tall claims and give misleading information to attract students. They also display the names of very big MNCs of Indian companies, saying they come for campus placements at their institution. They may also advertise the highest salary package in such a way that you believe all students of the MBA college get the same salary of something close to that. So, understanding the placement records and comparing the data across colleges will go a long way in choosing the best MBA college in placements.

It is important that you understand the average or median salary and the percentage of class placed to gauge MBA colleges on their placements. The median salary is the average salary that the passing out batch of an MBA college received in the current placement season. However, this cannot be 100 percent realistic because if a few of the students get very high international packages the median salary would look inflated. So it is also important to know what percentage of students got placed because if only a few students get placed and that is given as the average salary of the class, it gives you a wrong impression. So, find out the highest and lowest packages, median salary, the size of the class and the number of students placed. However, remember that a small percentage of students opt out of placements for various reasons like going for higher studies, joining a family business or becoming entrepreneurs on their own.

You should also collect information on industry-wise data of companies visiting the campus and the number of students placed in each industry.  Also find out if the MBA college has a rigorous placement process, a good placement cell and the college’s standing in the industry.
