Steady Decline in CAT applications

Steady Decline in CAT applications

The CAT data which show a decline of close to 10% (from 2.14 lac in 2012 to 1.94 lac registrations in 2014) in the number of MBA aspirants over the past 3 years. Does that mean the top B-Schools of the country are losing their sheen? MBA losing its value? Not really.  In a recent survey it was found that 3 out 4 MBA grads said that they could not have got in to their present jobs without their MBA.  According to corporate survey by GMAC (company that brings GMAT) globally, 84 percent of employers plan to hire MBA graduates this year which is an increase of 10 percent from last year. It also says 96 per cent of employers worldwide concurred that hiring from business schools created value for their companies.

For the ones who missed out it is time to shake off the initial disappointment and introspect and look forward.  Turning back the clock to May 2014 and I too was one of the introspecting aspirants.

A Life Beyond Placements

A Life Beyond Placements

So often during the admission season, the IIM life is only seen through the miniscule lens of placements. There can be no denying that placements are an integral and much sought-after part of this entire MBA journey, but the vistas of knowledge, experience and learning must not go understated. From the moment we step in- in our case “Aarambh” to the very last day at IIM Rohtak, it is a revered learning experience with value addition from all corners. Peer learning, diverse student body, campus life, interactions with the best faculty- it is indeed a privilege to be part of the smartest community in our country. Let it be academic projects, competitions or the student driven committees, this two year sojourn in life’s journey is an unparalleled experience.
