I have been very critical in my judgements recently about how MBA education in this country has largely become a business which is ruining the possibilities of young talent availability for the corporate world. Additionally, I am sure that a vast majority of the institutes present today in some form or the other are bound to close down if certain important and parallel trends are to be considered.
In the midst of all these, I have been closely following certain Universities for sometime now and it is actually great to see that some of these Universities are actually taking great strides in getting the neccessary internal processes in place to support the MBA program as it should be. They may not have an excellent past record (as some of them are new Universities) but with their current ways of work, they will probably find themselves as leading national brands in the next 2-3 years.
Some of the names that I am mentioning below are based on my understanding of how Universities may probably change the way management education is viewed in India and bring back the rigour and excellent back in the system.
The ones that have future potential and could be excellent places to study in the future are: (not in any order)
1. VIT Vellore - Institute of Business Studies
2. Amrita University
3. Saastra University
4. Karpagam University
5. Prist University
6. Vinayaka Missions University - MBA
7. Veltech University
I have had close interactions with their Deans, faculty, and the administration to understand the ways they would want to go ahead with their programs and the ways they feel MBA should be taught in India. The answers have been commendable and thats really a good thing. It gives me, after my stint of understanding the filth in the system, a feeling of calmness that all is not lost and there will always be Universities and Business Schools like these who will take on responsibility and do the good work.
