RE: [MTC Global] Employability of management graduates on a decline: Look Out

I agree with Dr. Singh wholeheartedly. A student gets to be more
disciplined, articulate, industry-ready, focused, mature and sincere in a
regular BA/BSc course since they are following a regular university pattern
of study, discipline, examination, grooming, extra-curricular activities
etc. which has been prevalent for decades and has been honed to near
perfection through all the ups and downs that the university, its curriculum
and its teachers have been through. It is time tested, whereas the B-schools
have mushroomed during the last couple of years and lack the basic concepts
of how to teach, train , groom and ensure discipline among students. Besides
the students are the customers so they should not be made to feel
uncomfortable whereas in a regular university the student is a part of the
overall education process and not a customer. Therein lies the difference.

I have interviewed a few hundred MBA students during last 3 years mostly,
of course, from Tier 2 or Tier 3. B-schools. My impression is many BAs from
good Colleges are better than most MBAs of these so called Bschools. .

Employability of management graduates on a decline: Expert
PTI Sep 25, 2012, 06.23PM IST




NEW DELHI: The allure of Indian B-schools, barring the top 25, is fading and
the employability of management graduates is on a decline, says an expert.
Recruitment avenues for management graduates are on a decline, considering
the fact that the economy is growing at the lowest pace in nine years,
besides the financial sector is also witnessing sluggish growth rate.




"The number of management schools and engineering colleges in India is
somewhere around 10,000 - 12,000 and there are serious questions about the
employability of the graduates coming out of some of those institutions
(barring the top 25)," IIT Delhi, Professor and Head (Retd) Department of
Management Studies, Rajat K Baisya said on the sidelines of an event
organised by SkillTree.



In late nineties India's management education sector saw a boom period as
the number of business schools multiplied in no time. But this situation is
starting to deflate as people are realising that expensive courses in these
kind of schools would not guarantee them a well-paid job.



In the last five years however, the number of MBA seats in India has grown
almost four fold -- from 94,704 in 2006-07 to 3,52,571 in 2011-12 --
resulting in a five-year compounded annual growth rate of 30 per cent, but
their employability rates have fallen.

According to another expert who did not wish to be named new management
colleges neither have proper infrastructure nor proper faculty and their
quality of education is also not as per the requirements of the industry.

According to a recent MBAUniverse.com - MeriTrac employability study 2012,
which covered 2,264 MBAs from 29 cities and 100 B-Schools, beyond the Top
25, only 21 per cent are employable.



The previous study of 2007 by MeriTrac had placed employability index at 25
per cent.
