A study of the impact of institutions’ infrastructural facilities and teaching-learning resources on academic attainments and placements of management students

Studies carried out by the Indian and foreign scholars for assessing the impact of institutions’ available infrastructural facilities and teaching-learning resources on academic attainments on their students present a somewhat mixed bag. While AICTE impresses upon on availability of the necessary physical infrastructural facilities and the teaching-learning resources in technical education institutions including B-Schools for effective delivery of education, it is evident that due to obvious reasons, many B-Schools seriously falter on these accounts thus adversely impact educational attainments and subsequently the placements of their students. The present study is a modest attempt to assess the impact of infrastructural facilities and teaching-learning resources on the academic attainments and placements of management graduates of selected Bangalore based B-Schools. Analysis of the captured data from two Bangalore B-Schools reveals that there is a positive correlation between the variables under study and thus the findings strongly supports the necessity of having all the prescribed physical infrastructural facilities and the teaching-learning resources on the campuses of the B-Schools for more effective and efficient delivery of knowledge, which is a pre-requisite in anyknowledge-based economy. Further, the study has made certain pointers for consideration of the concerned stakeholders, if India has to globally emerge as a competitive quality education provider.
