The immense rise in the demand for talented individuals to take on expanding the Indian economy gave birth to a huge gap between supply and demand. To fill in this gap the Indian Government aided in the establishment of numerous excellent B-schools across India. The big recruitment wave for fresh graduates brought a big spurt in the number of private B-Schools across the country. A significant number of these management schools claim superior education and great placements.

These MBA aspirants look into a grand list of hundreds of colleges before choosing the right B-school.
