Master of Business Administration (MBA)
The MBA education saw its advent with the growth of industrialization. There was a need for professionals who could scientifically apply sciences and approaches to lead the business through the path of success. Harvard Graduate School of Business Management introduced the first MBA program in 1908. Which further started gaining popularity and the number of MBA students at the Harvard business school went up to over 300. By 1930, the tremendous rise of business schools were noticed and other parts of Europe soon offered MBA courses. Now, ASSOCHAM (Associated Chambers of Commerce of India and Ceylon) states that only India has over 5500 institutes offering MBA programs, and very few of them are having best placements in the industry.

A major concern for MBA aspirants is the lowering employability, as there is an overall fall in the standards of MBA graduates leading to fewer placements. Economic Times reported that a sheer 10 percent of B-school students are in fact employable. According to ASSOCHAM, reasons for low employability can be attributed to excess supply of candidates, poor quality of assessment for approval by AICTE, under qualified faculty, lack of basic skills, lesser work experience, and lack of practical & problem solving skills of graduates.
So the placements are a key factor for aspirants while choosing their MBA Institute. Campus recruitments truly reflect the talent pool of the college and it brings opportunities and exposure for future students. This can be a life-changing decision
for every MBA applicant. So let us look at the ASSOCHAM Report on MBA employability.
