If you’re one of those confused MBA aspiring humanoids that are thinking ranking, placements or academic facilities before settling for a post-grad college, then there’s some shocking news for you. Apologies for bursting your bubble, but the most important criterion is neither of the mentioned. The imperative aspect is, hold your breath, LOCATION, yes that’s right, an aspiring MBA grad has his eyes set on the location first and then comes ranking, placements and academic facilities. According to a recent study, almost 32% of students select the locale first and then move on to other important factors. Now, you may be wondering what’s in a location? Well, for you muddled commoners, there is a lot in a location and in the following pointers you will understand just why –
- Relevance and Convenience
An MBA is not your regular run-of-the-mill post-graduation course, where you rest your eyes on a whiteboard and align your sensory receptors to the increasing decibels of the professor. Over here students enjoy a direct contact with external business specialists and get to pursue practical electives. School of Inspired Leadership (SOIL) in Delhi, for example, offers a pragmatic leadership program, a 1 year post-graduate course in India that is created to improve leadership skills through projects in various sectors. Another example is of Cass business School in the United Kingdom that hosts corporate events and interest groups for students to network with business honchos.
- University Links
Another vital aspect to consider is the relevance of the University linked to an MBA of a business school. These links are proven to be beneficial and the collaboration can positively affect the student. For example, SOIL offers a dual global degree in collaboration with MIP Politecnico di Milano in Italy. This gives the students to experience cross-disciplinary contact and can teach them innovative ways to approach global business problems.

Remember these pointers as it will help you in making an informed decision. If you’re residing in India and looking for reputed universities then XLRI, IIM, SOIL are a few that offer 1 year full time MBA in India. If you’re digging even further and are selecting a specific state then SOIL offers a one year MBA in Delhi, XLRI offers MBA in Jamshedpur and IIM in Lucknow, Bangalore, Kozhikode, Ranchi and many more.
