Even the rankings cannot be trusted because everyone knows they are paid and can be easily purchased (in most cases).
What is the solution?
Abhay Rana, an HR Expert from XLRI Jamshedpur, conducted extensive research on HR Professionals from the Corporate World, Recruitment Agencies, and Placement Managers from Leading Business Schools to understand what goes behind the hiring of a student and categorization of Best Business Schools, especially in the Delhi / NCR Region.
According to HR Experts, Business Schools in Delhi have been categorized into four sections which clearly state the Remuneration a student can expect.

Tier 3 Business Schools in Delhi
Average Package: 3 to 5 Lacs
Competitive Exam Required: CAT / XAT / MAT / ATMA
Tier 3 Business Schools in Delhi include all other Business Schools, especially MAT Colleges, heavily promoted by counselors and admission consultants. In most cases, you will get free application forms from these colleges, while consultants get heavy incentives for promoting these business schools.
However, there are a few business schools under MAT that are doing exceptionally well and can be considered as an alternative to Tier-2 CAT Colleges.
Even though the average package in these colleges may range from 3–5 Lacs, however, 1% of the top students can expect to get better packages. Besides MAT Colleges, the University School of Management Studies (USMS), under Guru Gobind Singh IP University, is considered a Tier 2++ Business School.
Almost all Business Schools under MAT, irrespective of their Rankings, Marketing Gimmicks, and Inflated Placement Record, are similar and have an Average Package of 3-5 Lacs Only.
Tier 4 Business Schools in Delhi
Average Package: 3 to 5 Lacs
Competitive Exam Required: MAT/ IP-CET(Now CAT)
The last category of so-called best business schools in Delhi are the other institutions under GGSIPU (Guru Gobind Singh IP University). Besides the University School of Management Studies (USMS) and a few other institutes, most of the other colleges are ranked in the Tier 4 category.
According to the research, the quality of students, rigid course curriculum, lack of high-end faculty, and negligent placements contribute to its low categorization. These Colleges are similar to MAT Colleges but lack exposure and have rigid course curricula with limited placements.
Other Business Schools in Delhi which falls in the Tier-4 or even Tier-5 category are the ones that are not able to recruit students and are on the verge of collapse.
