SPOTTING YOUR FAVOURITE B-SCHOOL!

The biggest challenge for any aspiring student and also the faculty not to speak of the recruiter is to find the right b-school and believe the right parameters for judging whether the school is really the "right one" or not. The way to do is.
1. Laborious way of reading and knowing about all the business schools as information about these appears in the newspapers and news channels. There is no guarantee here as you need to read hundreds of papers literally to get some idea about the b-schools and what they offer and still you will not able to say whether you are in the right track.
still it is worth reading in India

A brief and telling extract from the article in Rediffmail.com may article on b-schools
IIMs (Indian Institutes of Management), the premier management institutes in India, have sprawling campuses and for decades have been the preferred choice of students wishing to pursue an MBA. Demand has increased much faster than supply, making the IIMs jointly the most difficult institutions to enter.For example, for every 600 students that aspire to an IIM Ahmedabad seat, only one is selected. Naturally, these are among the best and brightest in the world. Unless there is a reason to restrict entry for the purpose of preserving the quality/scarcity rent of an IIM MBA, intake to each of the IIMs can be increased without any significant additional investment.The faculty-student ratio, one of many signals of institutional quality, should also not be a constraint. Compared with their US counterparts, the faculty-student ratio at IIM-A is only 1:8, while it is 1:19 at Wharton and 1:14 at Harvard Business School (HBS).IIM-A admits around 250 students a year, while its two American counterparts admit about 900 each. IIM-A annually enrols just 1,620 students in its executive MBA program, against over 8,000 by both HBS and Wharton.
