[Abby]

According to me it matters in short term to gt good package and a good knowledge frm experience faculty.......but in long run its d wrk u do and nt d college u hv completed yur mba frm matters

[tr3mo2]

I Disagree~

Better unversity gives a wider scope in the cooperate world. Better known universities widens your chances to be in a better place in the future.

This is what I feel~ Please post yo vies on the same.

[Abby]

yeah u r right...but i feel its d induvudual talent tats matters d most...yur 1st placement depends on yur college...but yur fut placement depends on yur prior work not d college u passed out frm

[rajunair]

Its true in short run the name of the univ does help in long run its ur own performance that matters

[bagariachirag]

a good college has good brand name, good faculty, good curriculum, good interactions with the industry and ultimately these all lead to good placements.
some new colleges having all these but not having good placements need to wait as things will grow over time and industry will recognize them coz of their efforts.

[jainminit]

in short term da coll matters but long term ur performance

[theking]

According to me for long term college does not matter, if you are doing MBA. To my mind college matters only for first placement after that matters is the work you have done in your job, and the No. of years you have worked for...

[hemant.k008]

In my opinion, College/Institute does matter. the surrounding. The Students of that level, Teachers and finally placements.. IF u look @<hidden> the other Low Instituets, u will find that there r not enough faculties, even visiting faculties r not that much good, Classes r not conducted regularly and the students r not much Enthu..

[Avinnnnash]

your college matters to get yourself a good start. it very important to have a good start in your carrer . i do not regret that individual talet are also important . if you dont get a good start you have to work a little too hard dude and in todays competative place getting a good start and access to big corporates is important

[Bhupesh]

Yes it does matter a lot, as to get into good MBA college is diffcult and then u will get good placement and Package to start with.

[Jayita]

Yes it does matter bcoz once u hv da tag of a good college irrespective of wat time in ur life u go 4 whichever job there is always a added advantage ! N it gives a betetr impression 2 da employer so it does help in a long run 2!

[ILLUVATAR]

first of all, please answer me?

is placements the only criteria for selecting the college of ur MBA.

Such short sighted objectives are to a great extent responsible for many burn outs in the corporate world.

as far as my opinion, COLLEGE MATTERS THE MOST.

[ishanpopat]

yes i think colleges play a very good role in this. its not only for getting placement. we learned a lot from our college.

[ishanpopat]

thanks for this.

yes i fully agree with above.

[ocean12]

yes,definately colleges do matter.....

[prachee]

i dont think so ultimately whats matters is persons ability and his intelligence

[chintz_123]

College only matters in terms of 1st placement...if u gettin via college and also the faculty and curriculum do matters ....bt only in the initial stage .Once u get ur 1st placement its only ur performance and skills dat matters so far as top placements are concerned .

[aggarwalraghav]

I beleive that your MBA school plays a crucial role in the education you receive and the market value atttached to you after you graduate from the course. It should be better to even give up a year or two and gain some additional work experience rather than settle for a substandard institution

[nahusha]

I think the college name definitely matters if its among the top colleges...it gives you a feel good factor... if u are an ISB/IIM grad, you will always be more confident and you will command respect...

[anant1a]

Actually Speaking the College matters only go get good start and good opportunity at initial Stage....

But in long run what matters is how u perform. How well u Learn and unlearn and relearn..

But Initially wat comapanies come for Placements in good colleges gives ppl a better Jump Start which one takes time to overcome...

[i_ishani_119]

for a shortwhile it makes impact on your packages bt in the long run it all depends upon ur calibre n ur enthusiasm...

so.....

in d long run it does nt matter frm where did u do ur mba...

[Wizard]

No IT DOES NOT MATTER ANYTHING . IT YOU AND YOUR WORK THAT MATTERS IN PROFESSIONAL WORLD NOT ANY OTHER THING

[Bhupesh]

Initially yes for placements college matters a lot, if you get good brake but in the long run it is your caliber that matters

[manjotdullat]

yepp ! it matters alot

[piyush86]

According to me it does not matter from which coll u r as it totally depends on the individual's capability and caliber how the person takes it
If a a person is smart and brilliant from a unknown institute he/she can end up earning a good package

[tabassum]

frendz..in my opinion..the college doesnt matter for the long run...coz its experience and the person's knowledge about the work which matters in the long run..!!

[acer9869]

i feel colege does not matter in long trem.. its ur performance wich gives u success.
but yes it effects a lot in getting ur first placement....

[zxtacy]

I feel its the college tat relli matters in the begining..juz like we wanna wear banded clothes..smilarlily companies wanna students rom gud brand schools

[umeshparmar86]

:SugarwareZ-191:
definetly colleges do matter while doing the mba. not only for mba.
today it is necessary that u come from good institution.

[preeti_funzone]

college matters to some extent.... but finally what counts is the individual's knowledge, calibre, enthu n hardwork... which pays off at the end

[abhishek.khosla]

hello frndss accordind to me it matters in long term bcause these iim are top brands and a person passing from iims he will cash tht brand equity throught out his working carrer

[akshaydave]

hi...
it does matter to a certain extent.....but in long run.........work does get the money.....

[ankurgupta84]

yeah, its correct it matters the most...

[chintan27]

i think college name travels with MBA till his end of life if person will Say i am from IIMA and second will say i from ordinary axis B school, view point would be different at first glance. even many companies offerer packages are differently branded college and any new MBA college. once you take entry in industry with low package from ordinary B-school -example 16,000 after six month it would become 26,000 and from branded college entry package would be 28,000 t0 40,000

[aakanksha_raheja]

A good college only matters to get your first placement...later its only your work that matters...also probably you are not in a good college but how you utilise your time there...and how you perform there also matters...

[staticpulse]

I do Agree....A B-school is an institute which sharpens ur mind. and develops u as an individual. A Reputed Bschool will bot only have good infrastructure but also gr8 faculty....

[neeraj_88]

In short term its good for getting good placements but after that you are on your own.

[richamalik]

a good college would only give a head start n probably a better one at that...reaching the same pedestal would only take longer from a not so good college

[Richasaraf]

ya obviously it matters initially to get yourself placed in some good firm with respectable package as it kind of makes it easy to get into the corporate world but from then its u n only u .... how u perform, ur total know how et al.... those things count n then the name of ur college vanishes once when u make urself a brand name....

[jimish.mehta87]

college plays an important role but matters to cetain extent.... but finally what seems is the individual's knowledge, calibre, enthusiasm, mind, n stamina... which counts in the end
Also it depends on individual's mind for studyin criteria
D way in which he/she wanna pursue for their career

[ankitgokani]

I FEEL A GOOD REPUTED COLL DOES MATTERS AS THIS WUD GET U GOOD PLACEMENT THOUGH IN SHORT TERM BUT EVER IN FUTURE IF U GO AHEAD ALWAZ UR PREVIOUS JOBS XPERIENCE IS REQUIRED SO IT ALL GOES IN A LINK A GOOD COLLEGE A GOOD PLACEMENT A GOOD JOB N THN FOR NEW JOB A GOOD EXPERIENCE N IT CONTINUES SO ON......

[mayank_parmar]

college is d base for doin MBA in long term cz watvr we learn in MBA is the same college studies only n d only diif z d makin of projects n Group work learning...

[mayank_parmar]

college is d base of any long term studies....

[Ravikant]

i believe, at the initial stages, ur college gives u an edge but at the latter stage it's your performance that's take u at the top.

[mayank_parmar]

certainly agree :) initially college does matter :)
getting that brand name is very important :)

[wangle_mba]

i think d discussion can 2 to subjective or personal 4 situation 2 situation.... as far institute is concerned yes it does matter 4 initial placement n attractive pay package which is evident by the no. of entrance exams conducted by respective institutes. well i agree 2 abby 2 an extent!!

[velvetgifts]

yes college matters in short term,as it gives you good opening...but ultimately,if person is good enough ,he will make a good career

[amit67439]

well having a good college does matter but what matters more is the course that you are getting in it because according to my personal experiences what i found that most of the people compromise on the course for college which is not a very wise thing to do as i found it myself so for all the mpites i would suggest give preference to course rather than the college

[squareleg]

No, in the longterm it doesnt matter that much. Only what u have done after MBA is all that matters for moving ahead. No one can turn you then coz u hav done MBA from small college.

[vinitadarne]

we can say in the shrt term but after ol everything depends on the individuals performance because college can help u only 2 some extent

[piotr]

In a world more and more dedicated to fast results and approval the first thing that will sound is the name of the places but in the end if you do not deliver....you will loose

[amit_kumar_mathura]

its quite true that college does matter but wht one should keep in mind is that getting a good course is of equal importance because at the end of the day what matters is the course and not the college

[randomvish]

i do feel college does matter for doing mba in long term.....coz wen ur goin to other countries they do see from which university and which college u have passed out from......also its an added advantage and looks good on ur C.V. ......u have an upper edge if u do mba from a good college.....but at the same time it depends upon ur capability to perform......[:)]

[pahuja.chirag]

in my views college matters only in short term to get you the first job. when you are in the job for one year or more, then what you have done in job matters

[adiishi]

According to me it matters in short term to gt good package and a good knowledge frm experience faculty

[pahuja.chirag]

A good college gives you a good platform to start with. When you get placement from a good college as a fresher, you are far better than getting self sourced placement.

[balli_di_gali]

I believe that colleges do matter whether it be long term or short term. If the name or brand image of a college would not have been of any use, then i don't think that anybody would have dreamed or worked hard for getting admission in IIM, ISB, FMS, XLRI, SIBM etc. etc.

What do these elite management institutes provide that everyone wants to be in it?

These colleges have been around for a considerable amount of time to prove worthy in the eyes of the recruiters. They (recruiters) believe that a student from the above mentioned institute will be worthy enough to handle responsibilities rather than any "xyz" school of management who has its premises with an area of 2,000 sq. ft. and takes candidates who have barely cleared their graduation.

Many have said that in long term, it is one's performance that is going to matter. In any scenario, if one does not perform in the short term, then it don't matter even if he is a product of "The Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania" (The top business school in the world); he will be sacked. Long term is out of the question.

Studying in a recognized institute is advantageous as one learns and develops the required skills in right manner and will be provided a better opportunity to use them with the help of corporate exposure one gains due to the reputation of that institute.

It is a biased world and therefore, its not awkward if you sing in the same tune the winning side is.

[madronny]

yeah u r right...but i feel its d induvudual talent tats matters d most...yur 1st placement depends on yur college...but yur fut placement depends on yur prior work not d college u passed out frm

[Wizard]

Do not know about others

but for me it never mattered where i studied
:SugarwareZ-291:

[Wizard]

Today as we see most institutes have become a money spinning ways

[vikrantverma]

unless and untill u are doing MBA via CORRESPONDENCE, the college u r in, surely does matter.
bigger the brand name, more the companies willl come, more will be the avergae package.
people in IIM's and other big colleges do not have to worry much about their placement. even in this crises situation they will get placed with a handsome package.
but students of average ranked B-schools, all this is a taunting task.

[suaveboy]

According to me it matters in short term to gt good package and a good knowledge frm experience faculty.......but in long run its d wrk u do and nt d college u hv completed yur mba frm matters:SugarwareZ-080:
