Re: [MTC Global] MBA

Every parent   would like their child to pursue a programme of study  which eventually will provide them with some form of security in terms of gainful occupation ( be it self employment or otherwise) . However the  situation is  more complicated in the Indian context 
·         Limited capacity  for open entry into  programmes of study in well established institutions  and programmes of study in  liberal arts , pure science  or even vocationally  relevant programmes such as Law  and commerce   not to speak of   Engineering and Medicine .  ( whether  there should be reservation is another debate  on which ha discussion strand is on going in the forum)
·         Instrumental approach of  providers.   First India witnessed a growth of Bachelors in Computer Science courses offered by  a sudden spurt of new providers ( mid 80's to  90's) With the millennium craze over,  the move seem to have shifted to MBA  courses  and  today you have a number of  bodies  rating Business Schools and the most popular metric seems to be the 'entry level  compensation package' . Even in prestigious  institutions such as IIMs once placement is over  students hardly engage in  any  institution driven learning activities. The focus is merely on completing the programme and exiting with the award .
The fault lies to a significant extent on this system of valuing education purely on the basis of entry level 'salary package' ( as most  21- 22 year olds  and sometimes their parents / guardians would refer to) .
There seems to be very little credence given to providing holistic education . It is heartening to see the development is curriculum from institutions such as  Ashoka  and Shiv Nadar University. It is indeed a shame that the four year programme  initiated  by Delhi University never took off ( but that is a matter of another debate perhaps)  .
What is required  is  a paradigm  shift in the thinking ,design and delivery of curriculum  i  India is to achieve a successful   30 % GER in the next  5- 6 years ( the government's stated objective ).
   It is well worth remembering  
 "Learning takes place through the active behaviour of the student: it is what he does that he learns, not what the teacher does." (Tyler, 1949)

Most of the jobs are available in SMAC space. Many BSchools across the world have included hard core technical subjects in the curriculum.
Technology space is changing very fast. Today, e-commerce is the most promising area but expertise believes that this space will be shaken up in next 2 years. Then what's next?
Industry share the equal responsibility with academics for their own interest to train and create an agile next generation workforce along with active government involvement.

Any graduate can turn to MBA. Graduates like B A, BSc, B Com, Agriculture, etc. have less market with lower compensation. If MBA is obtained, chances are more that one can earn  more than 3 times that of Arts, Commerce and Science graduates earn.

We have the  following crazes:
  1. Electronics were not available about 2 decades ago. Wave came in, today it is not the green area.
  2. Because of unprecedented compensation one was getting two decades ago, computer Sciences had a roaring demand and we started programs like BCS, B E/B Tech (CS),BCA,  MCA and many more programs like MCM. Today the craze is fast disappearing.
  3. About 2 decades ago MBA was not in demand because of low market. With the expansion in Egg/Technology, many MBA institutes are being established either as a separate institute or a joint program with Engineering. Both rural and urban areas are flooded with MBA institutes and for getting employment at a reasonably good compensation, students from non-professional prgs started joining the institutes. Though there happens to be a good expansion in market including services sectors, it has limited jobs to offer. This has resulted into massive non-employment causing many B-Schools (that needs  limited resources but tuition fees are shooting sharply up) to shut down.
  4. It means there is a mismatch what we plan, execute and market demand. This needs to be done more scientifically in a plan-full way so that students are prepared for industry  world irrespective of their faculty.   
  5. In the whole process, institutes have created huge assets, business is risk free, parents have to empty their pockets and the outcomes are before us.
