With over a hundred people vying for every single seat in the top 20 MBA colleges of the country, a sensible choice with a calm mind can do wonders for you. While the biggest parameter of rating any college as a 'premier college' is with average pay package that the students command once they pass out, another not-so-unimportant parameter is the fees that it asks for!

One of the biggest learning that MBA gives is a thorough cost-benefit ratio analysis. Consider it pre-training, and make sure you do a proper cost-benefit analysis before short listing your 'dream college'.
