  • Incubator Cell – The first & most important factor to consider before deciding your B-School is to explore whether it has an in-house & active incubator cell.

  • Training & Placement Cell – The second point of consideration is the active training & placement cell (T&P).All students can’t be entrepreneur, may be due to the priorities, family background or self-goal. This department or cell acts as a bridge between B-School & the corporate world in order to arrange skill oriented trainings & ultimately the placement to the students. Usually, T&P cells in Tier-II & Tier-III B-Schools have been managed by some senior faculty member/s which does not serve the purpose. This cell is extremely strategic & must be managed by someone with corporate background only.
