Augmenting Employability of Management Graduates in India

Abstract

An ASSOCHAM study of 2016 indicated that 93% of the B-school graduates are unemployable. This scenario is quite alarming especially when there are about 5500 B-schools in India offering 5,20,000 MBA seats. A good number of MBAs passing out of the B-schools end-up getting job of less than Rs. 10000 and there are even larger numbers of those who cannot get any job at all. This paper is a modest attempt to analyse the reasons behind abysmal performance of the Indian MBAs in the job market and how things can be inverted in order to enhance their employability and in turn re-establish relevance of Management education in the country.
