Less than half of new MBA graduates get jobs, trend at 5-year low -Neelam Pandey

Over the years, in the absence of competent faculty and industry training facilities, most B-schools other than the premiere institutes began churning out graduates who were far from job-ready.

Job offers for fresh management graduates in India are at a five-year low, official data show, a trend experts blame on a sluggish economy as well as a mismatch between the years-old curriculum and industry expectations.

In 2016-17, just 47% of Master of Business Administration (MBA) graduates got placed on the campus, a dip of 4% over the previous year, marking a five-year low. At 12%, the drop was far sharper for postgraduate diploma holders (see graphic).

The data does not include the premier Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs) that are not affiliated to the main regulatory body, the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE). There are an estimated 5,000 management institutes across the country. About 200,000 students passed out of these institutes in 2016-17.

The trend has AICTE officials worried.

“It is a market-driven process and hence placements are dependent on that. We have taken cognisance of that (and) are updating and reviewing the curriculum so that it meets the requirement of the industry,” said a senior AICTE official on the condition of anonymity because he is not authorised to speak to journalists.
