A good college gives you a good platform to start with. When you get placement from a good college as a fresher, you are far better than getting self sourced placement.

I believe that colleges do matter whether it be long term or short term. If the name or brand image of a college would not have been of any use, then i don't think that anybody would have dreamed or worked hard for getting admission in IIM, ISB, FMS, XLRI, SIBM etc. etc.
What do these elite management institutes provide that everyone wants to be in it?
These colleges have been around for a considerable amount of time to prove worthy in the eyes of the recruiters. They (recruiters) believe that a student from the above mentioned institute will be worthy enough to handle responsibilities rather than any "xyz" school of management who has its premises with an area of 2,000 sq. ft. and takes candidates who have barely cleared their graduation.
Many have said that in long term, it is one's performance that is going to matter. In any scenario, if one does not perform in the short term, then it don't matter even if he is a product of "The Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania" (The top business school in the world); he will be sacked. Long term is out of the question.
Studying in a recognized institute is advantageous as one learns and develops the required skills in right manner and will be provided a better opportunity to use them with the help of corporate exposure one gains due to the reputation of that institute.
It is a biased world and therefore, its not awkward if you sing in the same tune the winning side is.

yes the college does matter
unless and untill u are doing MBA via CORRESPONDENCE, the college u r in, surely does matter.
bigger the brand name, more the companies willl come, more will be the avergae package.
people in IIM's and other big colleges do not have to worry much about their placement. even in this crises situation they will get placed with a handsome package.
but students of average ranked B-schools, all this is a taunting task.

a good college has good brand name, good faculty, good curriculum, good interactions with the industry and ultimately these all lead to good placements.
some new colleges having all these but not having good placements need to wait as things will grow over time and industry will recognize them coz of their efforts.

For a few hundred years we've assumed that a college education translates into a better, happier, and more productive life.
Studies clearly show that a college education is related to economic success, despite the fact that most of us can name a few dozen millionaires, and possibly even a billionaire or two, that never made it through college.

I think reputation counts for a lot when it comes to choosing a college/university to study your MBA at. A reputable university will immediately stand out on your CV and will give you a competitive advantage over other candidates when it comes to applying for jobs. Furthermore, you will find that those universities with a higher status often have the best lecturers, resources and research facilities, which will most definitely benefit you. Research the Financial Times' list of top international MBA schools and choose wisely!
