If you are considering pursuing a B-School program in Kolkata, there are some important factors to keep in mind before making a decision. Here are some things to consider: Lack of Corporate HQs: Kolkata does not have many corporate headquarters, which means that only Sales and Marketing and KPO-type jobs are available. Regional offices have only Sales roles for most companies. This can severely limit the job opportunities available to B-School graduates in Kolkata.  Shortage of Faculty Talent: The best possible faculty for B-Schools are alumni of Top B-Schools with Corporate Experience. Unfortunately, there is a serious shortage of such talent in Kolkata in comparison with NCR, Bangalore, Mumbai, etc. Limited Interaction with Corporates: Internships, live projects, and guest lectures are some of the ways in which B-School students interact with corporates. However, these opportunities may be limited in Kolkata due to the lack of corporate presence. Based on these factors, if you are looking for the best B-Schools, it is advisable to consider colleges in Bangalore, NCR, or Mumbai. However, if you must stay in Kolkata, here are a couple of colleges you could consider: IMI Kolkata: This college has good placement opportunities, but it is a bit expensive. Globsyn: This college is also an option, but you may want to do more research to ensure it meets your specific needs. Remember, it's important to do your own research and speak with current students or alumni to get a better understanding of what a particular B-School is like before making a decision.
