Rankings are an integral part of MBA school selections. However restricting it as your only criteria to choose a B school is not advisable. There are other contributing factors which must be taken into consideration such as faculty, location, scholarships, etc.

exactly..You must never decide your school solely based on ranking. A school with a good ranking must be a good school but it might not necessarily be the school for you. Do heavy research about the school and only then must you take a decision.

True. Get in touch with the alumni and the seniors and ask them for their honest feedback. That should help you assess the school the best.

MBA college. Mainly the quality FIFA 14 Coins education because that is what you'll require in future.

There has been a lot of discussion here about ranking of b-schools. As an admissions consultant, we have helped hundreds of applicants make a choice about the b-schools where they should apply.

While the rankings-any rankings for that matter- are a great way to get started, eventually they are done by a third party, while joining a business school is a personal decision. You can not outsource it completely to the third party without forming your own thoughts about it. Eventually its YOU who is going to b-school.

So use the rankings to help you in your initial research, but beyond that you need to figure out about a b-school from your own experience- by talking to students, alumni, admissions staff, reading student blogs, watching videos, and if possible, visiting b-schools. These are the best ways to form an opinion about b-schools.

Try to learn more about the academic and out-of-class opportunities a b-school has to offer, the post MBA jobs and how a b-school can help you meet your career goals.

Hope that helps!!
