Your degree does NOT train you for a job
Your Professors have never worked in
industry. They can only repeat text from
outdated textbooks

information to pass exams & graduate.

ready

level until you get enough training &
experience to work properly

17. Looking For
MBA In India
Getting The Best Course
For You

18. Difference Between
MBA & PGDBM
Due to Indian Law:
Only Universities (Delhi Univ, Pune
Univ etc.) & their affiliated colleges
can offer an MBA
Mumbai University offers MMS
Reputed Private Colleges, like IIMs,
Indian School of Business,
Symbiosis etc. can only offer
PGDBM
Most companies consider PGDBM
equivalent to MBA for hiring

19. EVERYONE is getting a
Management Diploma
15 years ago, being a graduate
was enough
Today, even a PGDBM is not
enough
More than 1600 management
colleges
Everyone vying for the same
jobs
However, most will not get a
good job after their PGDBM

20. Why?
Only 23% of management
graduates have industry ready skills
(Mercer Consulting Survey)
This is after spending lakhs on a
management course that is
supposed to make them industry
ready
Most companies need to retrain
management graduates once they
join their organization
Industry requires a large range of
skills not offered by management
institutes

21. Industry Skills Needed
Soft skills required - Attitudes * Enthusiasm * Ethics & value system * Inter personal Relationships * Team work * Leadership
Creative skills required - Innovation * Lateral Thinking * Creativity * Visualization * Aesthetics
Communication skills required - Active Listening * Verbal * Speed Reading * Use of Body Language * Presentation *

alternatives and take Decisions * Predict, Monitor & Control Outcomes

Personal Productivity skills required - Personal Mastery * Time Management * Prioritize * Organize * Details
Life long Learning skills required - Learning styles * Learning techniques * Tools
Attitudes required - Enthusiasm * Ethics & Integrity * Professionalism

22. Why Can’t Management Colleges
Provide The Training Needed?
Mumbai University Curriculum has not changed
over the years
AICTE requires colleges to have full time
professors with no industry experience
They cannot teach what industry wants because
they have no experience in industry
“All employers train college students after
hiring them. Twenty-five per cent of industry
expenditure comprises training for newly hired
professionals. This shows that colleges do not
make their students fully employable, which is
why additional training is required,” - Snehalata
Deshmukh, former vice-chancellor of Mumbai
University.

23. Some Don’t Want to Change..
Y.C. Halan, former Editor, Financial Express-
“Many business schools are run by politicians.
Due to political pressure, AICTE has granted
recognition to many colleges that do not
meet the standards. Many recognized
institutions have sub-standard faculties,
non-existent libraries, sub-optimal
computer facilities and poor industry
linkages. Many of them also charge high
fees. AICTE has seldom initiated action or
withdrawn approvals to such institutions.”
Some Management Institutes earn up to Rs.
600 CRORE income per year, tax free!

24. Is AICTE recognition necessary?
Some Management Institutes NOT Recognized by
AICTE –
– Indian School of Business, Hyderabad (Ranked top
10 B school in India, ranked #20 internationally)
– S.P. Jain Institute of Management, Mumbai
– ICFAI Business School, Mumbai
– ITM, Navi Mumbai, etc.
Why have reputed management institutes NOT applied
for AICTE recognition?

25. A Report By Business Today
magazine says:
Accreditation procedures followed by
AICTE are non-transparent, arbitrary and
sometimes dysfunctional
Many colleges openly charge AICTE with
corruption and bribe taking
Faculties at many AICTE recognized
technical institutes lack proper
qualifications
Many AICTE recognized colleges have sub-
standard course content with the result
that they are unable to meet the skilled
manpower requirements of industry

26. What do educationists say about
AICTE?
“Indian School of Business doesn’t want accreditation from AICTE because
it (AICTE) will then start interfering in its course content, batch sizes,
student intake, and even the sizes of their buildings.” – Gurucharan Das
(respected management guru)
“Our destinies are being shaped by people who do not have the remotest
idea of education. Everyone at AICTE is busy doing nothing” – S.N Mishra
(Dean, MAIT, New Delhi)
“AICTE measures quantity, not quality. During inspections, it wants details
about things like the size of faculty and classrooms. But what matters to
students is the quality of education and AICTE hasn’t done enough in this
regard.” – Atul Chauhan (Dean, Amity University)
Kapil Sibal (Minister for HRD) has recommended closing down AICTE & has
suspended its chairman for taking bribes

28. The Bottom Line
Most of the new, high quality management
institutes have NOT gone for AICTE
recognition
AICTE rules prevent innovative curriculum,
industry faculty and international tie ups
An AICTE recognized college CAN NOT give a
high quality management education
This is why there are so many unemployable
management graduates from AICTE
recognized institutes!

29. Your Career Choice
If you plan to do a PhD or apply for a government
job, then you need to go to an AICTE recognized
college.
If you want a good job in a well known company,
then you should look at the quality of education &
faculty provided.
Companies hire students based on the quality of
training they receive NOT on the government
recognition of the college

30. Many Indian Management Diplomas Not
Recognized Internationally
You may want to work abroad
May want to work in multinational
More foreign companies entering India
Companies prefer global qualifications &
global skills
Lack of global recognition is why institutes
have to depend on PR to get graduates job
placement. What about second job?

31. Problems With Existing PGDBM
Global Markets – Indian
diplomas not recognized
Industry Needs – Colleges
not providing right skills
Is There A Better Way?
