India's Best B-Schools
Business Today|December 04, 2016

The 2016 edition of the BT-MDRA Best B-schools survey comes in the backdrop of renewed faith in traditional sectors such as consulting, FMCG, marketing and manufacturing, and offers deep insights.

India's Best B-Schools

Old favourites among employers continue to hold sway on B-school campuses. For a brief while, the exuberance of e-commerce and the tech sector start-ups had cornered the spotlight: they offered variety and excitement, and paid well, too, some of them offering starting salaries of more than  ₹20 lakh per year. While they remain in demand, there is an increasing air of caution among B-school graduates while looking at the opportunities they offer. In contrast, the traditional heavyweights – leading consultancy firms, banks, consumer goods companies, automobile manufacturers – continue to gain strength.

Consider the case of Siddharth Raman, 27, a student of the batch of 2014-16 at the Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad (IIM-A). Raman joined a global consultancy he prefers not to name. “I considered and evaluated a couple of offers – one from a start-up and the other from a product company,” he says. “Eventually I chose the place I’ve joined because my larger goal was always to enter public policy through consulting.”
