A simple treatment is presented to analyze the modulational instability of two-component Bose-Einstein condensates, described within the Gross-Pitaevskii approximation, in a quasi-one-dimensional geometry. An explicit expression for the growth rate of a purely growing modulational instability is presented and analyzed analytically.
