The new hub for management education? : India

India has been the go-to place as far as information technology is concerned. It is not just in terms of getting IT education but also in terms of finding an excellent talent pool for hiring. Today, the management sector is seeing a similar trend.

According to the recently published 2011 World Geographic Trend Report for Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) examinees, not only has there been a steady rise in the number of non-US citizens taking the GMAT exam, but Indian students have dominated this trend.
    
However, what is more remarkable to observe is that a multitude of these students are choosing India as their preferred study destination. The report states that, a large drop has been observed in the proportion of scores sent by Central and South Asian citizens to programmes in the United States and much of this shift is explained by increased interest among regional examinees to study in India, the United Kingdom, and Singapore.

The report also observes that in most cases, prospective students are increasingly interested in domestic and regional opportunities. And with Indian student dominating test numbers, it is obvious that Indian B-schools can ex
pect more takers in the coming years.


MAJOR INFLUENCERS

Cost
Lower costs of education in India could be credited as a strong influence for most Indian students who chose to study in India. Not just in terms of tuition fees, but the cost of living in one’s own country can prove to be quite economical. 

Job opportunities
However, experts suggest that higher employment opportunities post the course is also a factor that plays an important role while choosing a study destination. 

Flexibility
Flexible admissions criteria also boost the popularity of Indian management schools Institutes abroad often require you to have at least three to four years of experience. So for a fresher, Indian B-schools can be a viable option.

Quality of education
Needless to say, of course, that with rising global competition, the quality of education in India has also risen optimally. The curriculum, teaching material, case-study approach, and overall pedagogy reflect international practices. This, together with low cost of education and living, good placement and familiar environment, makes Indian B-schools very popular in Asia.
