The job market is dismal, bad economy makes it harder to earn back the cost of going to
much elusive and expensive schools of the world. Ofcourse making a choice of going for MBA
is a tough pill to swallow when tutions fees are way too high.
If you are eyeing on the coveted degree, here are the latest rankings from
Forbes for Best Business Schools 2009. But to my disappointment our very
own ISB, could not manage to get into the list of top 75.
Take a sneek Peek of the report.
