MBA is considered among the most preferred programmes in terms of higher studies in India. The reason behind is the high salary packages offered to the management professionals. IIMs are undoubtedly the top MBA colleges in India. But, the competition is very high to get into IIMs. One misses the race even just for decimal margins in CAT. The story never ends at one point.

Aspirants should not disappoint if not get qualified for IIMs. There are also some institutes other than IIMs that are considered among the best MBA colleges in India.
