Hi Sinha,
That is certainly a good list. However, in order to ensure exhaustiveness, as much as possible, I think you should also include TISS – Tata Institute of Social Sciences. They offer an HR program, which is rated one of the best in the country. I have a friend who is currently going there and their program seems to be brilliant. I am personally pursuing my MBA @ Thunderbird School of Global Management.
Thanks Guru. Will add TISS
can any body post the entrance exam papers for part time mba fms
just wanna knw if u have any idea!
what could be preferable mba course after completing my ty banking and insurance….
basically my interest is in public communication and to do sumthng inovative
a bit confused….
can u help me out
that will be helpful for lots of people out there.. one compiled list will certainly the ’search’ a little easier..
IIFT is in New Delhi and not Ghaziabad. I hope you can correct the same at the earliest.
Where this list stops is where the problem starts. The mentioned list is relevant to the top 1% of the population and would be rattled off by most MBA aspirants. It is when choosing between the 160 MBA colleges in NCR, the right choice becomes difficult.
Have added TISS, corrected IIFT details.
@Harpreet – I agree with you on the list of smaller colleges. Will digg that out, if community needs it! (maybe in a week or so).
any news about the placement stats in ISB this year
An MBA dream is a very good dream to aspire for.
Nice list, but i think Great Lakes, Chennai (www.greatlakes.edu.in) is much better than many of them and a worth add in your list
hey! my prob is jst d same as harpreet, guru..pls add sum of tohse normal collleges for sum normal people. like d lists top 5 colleges require work-ex nd nw its not dat easy..nd above all nw most students get into jobs only after finishin der masters…nyways jst 1 suggestion add sum more colleges too pls…
hey,
another gem missing from the list is Goa Institute of Management.. though not in the league of IIM.. but on par with likes of TAPMI.. do check it out..

Just came across Great Lakes, Chennai. Never heard of it before but given the guest lecturer list and board I rank it quite high. Placement salaries aren’t bad too.
And ISB is definitely better than atleast IIM Indore and Kozikhode

Hello friends
I need a big favour from all of you.Plz help me out and suggest something good..
I am Australian Citizen ( also POI ) and completed my BBA(Executive) from Australian University in 2008 and now planning to pursue MBA from India.
In addition to that, i have got five years of experience in operational management in Australia. But now i want to come back and settle down in India only.
1) Can i get admission in good business school without sitting for test? If yes, suggest few..???
2) I am also planning for GMAT but just wondering if any good business schools accept my application on basis of my qualification and work experience?
I will really appreciate your help if you could suggest me something really gud.
God bless u all…
Very remote chance of a “GOOD” school accepting one without a “TEST”. Try our ISB, IIMA PGPX, IIML IMPX and even Noida Campus … and with a good GMAT score you should be able to make it…Best of luck.
thanks arjun…..
really appreciate that….
can you please tell me…..if any of the business schools offer NRI seats?
I mean which are reserved and they have different merit list for NRI’s.
