The MBA programme was first offered by Harvard University in Cambridge, MA in 1908. In India, in the year 1953, the IISWBM (Indian Institute of Social Welfare & Business Management) was established in Kolkata and was the first college to offer an MBA degree in India. Since then, the demand for MBA is ever increasing. But you may be wondering, will this demand for MBA be this high always? How long will an MBA degree help one's career is still a question for many.

From a job market perspective, employers are now looking for highly skilled candidates over novice candidates. Many consulting firms such as Deloitte, Larsen and Turbo, Axis Bank, Hindustan liver, Accenture, HDFC Bank, Aditya Birla, and Bain, etc. want employees with MBA qualifications because these candidates possess analytical abilities and domain knowledge that are essential to do the job efficiently.

They prefer candidates with an MBA degree who know how to pitch ideas and sell products or services. Another reason why employers prefer MBA candidates is that the MBA course improves communication skills and helps to develop a student's personality. This complete package of benefits upskills you and helps you succeed in your future.

Lastly, to conclude, the demand for MBA will never sink as it has a lot to offer to aspirants and fulfill their dreams, whereas, we strongly believe the demands and its popularity will be towering after decades and ages too and it will never go out of fashion.
