FAQs

Are private MBA colleges in India better than government MBA colleges?

No, private MBA colleges in India are not better than government MBA colleges. These colleges charge very high fees in comparison to government colleges, for which better infrastructure is cited as the main reason. However, in comparison to government colleges, their courses are of lower quality despite all the better infrastructure. At the same time, the funding and functioning of private colleges are not backed by the government, hence, they have to self-bear all their costs.
