Here’s why you should study MBA in India than anywhere else in the world

If you’re an MBA graduate from an Indian university, you can officially flaunt it. This collar popping opportunity is being contributed by a ‘prospective students’ survey’ by Graduate Management Admission Council's mba.com, which claims that India is among the top five ‘sought-after’ destinations in the world for pursuing management studies. As per a news report in The Economic Times, the survey was structurally classified into three groups based on career goals: career enhancers (34% of survey respondents), career switchers (38%) and aspiring entrepreneurs (28%). Around 28% of survey respondents indicated their plans of starting their own businesses; the percentage was 19 five years ago.

The study further showed that more than half the prospective students (52%) sought to study outside their country of citizenship, up from 40% in 2010. The ET report reads, this growing preference for international study is most notable among citizens of Asia-Pacific (94% in 2014, up from 88% in 2010) and the Middle East (72% in 2014 vs 58% in 2010). The top 10 preferred study destinations are the US, UK, Canada, France, India, Hong Kong, Germany, Singapore, the Netherlands and Australia. While 53% Indians preferred studying in the US, 21% and 7% showed inclination towards India and the UK, respectively. The US remains the top international study destination for two two-thirds of prospective students across the globe; however, this is a decrease from 73% in 2010.

Among the other top locations, 6% wanted to study in the UK, 5% in Canada, 3% each in France and India, 1% in Australia, and 2% each in Hong Kong, Germany, Singapore, and the Netherlands.
