Specific disciplines never lose their sheen, be it professional, undergraduate, or postgraduate courses. Besides engineering and medicine, if there is one program that withstood the onslaught of ever-emerging trends in global education, then it is MBA.
Do you know that the Master of Business Administration is the most popular program in the world and was first introduced by Harvard University Graduate School of Administration in 1908? Today, there are many B Schools across the globe, offering MBA.
In India, MBA picked up steam in the 1980s, and in no time, having “MBA” became the most sought-after qualification by corporate conglomerates for employees. The niche course, which was once opted for by commerce graduates, later attracted engineers and doctors thanks to versatile disciplines like Hospital Management. Picking up a right B School is like a Herculean task. We agree that there is no shortage of Business Schools in our country, but only a handful are exceptional than the rest and are pioneering the studies involving management and business administration. If there is one such B School that has left an indelible mark and has garnered a place among the Best B Schools in India, it is Amrita Business School (ASB).
