Here are the factors given below to consider while choosing the right MBA college:
Out of so many B-schools, there are different types of MBA colleges operating in India. You need to make a choice about which type of MBA college and program you wish to attend. An MBA program is offered by a university B-school recognised by UGC, while PGDM, equivalent to MBA, is offered by an AICTE-approved B-school. The flexibility of the curriculum is more in PGDM programs.
National and International Accreditations awarded to the B-schools reflect the quality of education, including curriculum as per global standards and industry requirements, pedagogy, high-quality faculty and research, and facilities at the institute, which are prominent parameters in choosing the best MBA college. The following are the prominent international and national accreditations that you should look for before making a decision on your preferred MBA college:
Top 3 International Accreditations:
Top 2 National Accreditations:
Location preference needs to be exercised if you do not get admission to one of the top MBA colleges. If the MBA college is located in or near an industrial hub with high career prospects like Delhi NCR, Bangalore, Mumbai, Pune, Chennai, Ahmedabad, Hyderabad, or Calcutta, you can opt for the best available MBA college in the city as per your eligibility for admission.
A moderate MBA fee structure with a good placement that can assure you about your career prospects is what you might be looking for. So, it will be better to compare the fee structures of different B-schools and the benefits of learning arising out of it before finalising your MBA admission decision.
An MBA degree may not always promise a well-paying job. Hence, it becomes important to consider the MBA ROI. Though the right way to calculate the return on investment (ROI) of an MBA degree is to estimate the annual increase in salary and figure out how many years it will take to recover the student loan/investment through salary increases over a period of 10 years, comparing the course fee with the placement package gives an idea of the same, nonetheless.

Hey! With a NEET score of 344 in the ST category, it is highly unlikely to get admission in any government BDS college in Delhi through the All India Quota. The cutoff for government BDS seats in Delhi usually falls around 400–450 for ST category, so your score is below that range.
You can consider private dental colleges, state quota seats in other states, or reattempt NEET next year to improve your chances.
Hello dear candidate,
YES, with NEET score 344in the ST category you have high chances of getting admission in a BDS College in J&K through JKBOPEE counselling.
check the seat availability and next participate in JKBOPEE Counselling with all the necessary documents.
