Why is the MBA programme in the Northeast not at the epitome?

The major distinguishing factor behind the delayed progress of business management education in the North East is the aspirational gaps residing as a stubborn tenant in the minds of the MBA aspirants.

But the aroma and consolidation did not happen in the North-East even after decades.
