Here's Why MBA Grads Have Greatest Job Growth Potential in APAC RegionThe report emphasizes that the demand for MBA talent is strongest in Asia Pacific, where 90 per cent of employers plan to make MBA hires in 2018.

India produces so many MBA graduates every year, but do all of them get hired? In a competitive job market, students have a really hard time in landing jobs in international countries. Recruiters prefer to hire a person without an MBA degree gives them a business education? With companies lowering down hiring, business graduates really need to ramp up their game.

Echoing similar thoughts,Appleco-founderSteve Wozniaksaid in a recent interview with The Economic Times, "The culture here (India) is one of success based upon academic excellence, studying, learning, practicing and having a good job and a great life. That's a lot like Singapore study, study, work hard and you get an MBA, you will have a Mercedes but where is the creativity? The creativity gets left out when your behaviour is too predictable and structured, everyone is similar." Wozniak's statements demeaned the Indian education system.
