Abstract

A lot of graduates in the field of science, arts or commerce are seeking a degree in business management because they believe it to be the gateway to managerial careers. Most of the students completing their MBA expect and completely focus on getting a handsome salary. while some from selected institutes having a very focussed approach towards placements, many students fail to get good jobs thereby leading to disappointment, disillusion and dejection. Thus, it 1s important for the institute to prepare the students as per the needs of the corporate and not the vice a versa. This will only help the companies to hire the right students and in turn help the students to fit into the job they want. This paper has made an attempt to identify the gap if any in the expectations of the corporate from B-school students and the output quality of these students. The researcher has also attempted to develop a model to bridge the gap between the expectations of the corporate and the performance of the students.
