Hi Tarun
The information is quite handy but I want to know about some more colleges apart from IIMs
Is there anything in Symbiosis?
How good is the placement?

Now is the time to have a ranking for one year MBA programmes in India.
My guess for the Top 5 Rankings is:
No.1 IIMA(PGPX):
No one can deny the ultimate brand equity of IIMA. The focus of the institute on the programme is too good. Remember the Lalu interaction session was conducted in the PGPX class! This apart from other marketing efforts such as the social responsibility initiatives of PGPX prove the drive of the management. The course is the best designed among all one year MBA programmes. Students get the best of the famed IIMA education combined with good global exposure (International students and International projects). IIMA has actually beaten ISB in the “global exposure” game. Just one batch is out and IIMA is ahead of older one year programmes at XLRI and ISB.
Some of the publicity gimmicks put up by IIMA are not very dignified. However, visibility at all costs is a must for a programme in its first year of inception.
No.2 ISB, XLRI (GMP):
Two good programmes. But, there is scope for improvement.
The infrastructure and the International exposure at ISB is unmatched. But the effectiveness of the programme and the slim size of the batch at XLRI is a clear advantage. (55 students at XLRI as against 420 cattle-like mass at ISB). ISB is indecently expensive and it can hinder one’s career growth. ISB grads are forced to take up high paying jobs rather than the jobs that they like. The global mantra of ISB (fly-by-night professors from US/UK etc.,) falls flat in the face of new reality where the world is looking towards India as the happening place. ( Today, US B-School students want gyan from Lalu!).
Absence of marketing for the GMP course indicates a lack of interest of XLRI management. (I was surprised to know that GMP is older than ISB’s programme!) Further, too many contact hours for the GMP at XLRI is also a disadvantage. ISB scores better on this area with more balanced level of contact hours.
No.3 IIMC
The brand name takes it to No.3 but the programme is relatively new. The plus point is that IIMC administration is valuing the one year programme more than the managements of XLRI or MDI. The student response to the first batch is not known to be as good as IIMA. We still need to wait for the performance of the first batch.
No.4 SP Jain
The thrust given to the course by SP Jain Administration at the Mumbai and the international locations is impressive. The placement record is decent. The huge location advantage of being at Mumbai is a plus point. The impact of this programme on the corporate world is fair. The SPJIMR management has a clear direction for the future development of the programme. A steady growth is expected for this course. All said and done the effectiveness is not as good as the top league (IIMA, ISB, XLRI)
No.5 GLIMS, MDI (NMP)
The efforts put by GLIMS are excellent but again somehow the impact does not seem to be as much as IIMA/ISB/XLRI. The NMP programme of MDI is around for quite some time limited to sponsored PSU managers. The programme is well structured. MDI's brand equity and future potential of the course takes it to the spot.5, even though the focus of the MDI’s management is not clear. Further, the number of self-sponsored students is still limited.
(I seem to have more criticism rather than appreciation for many of the B-Schools...)
