When it comes to MBA entrance exams life CMAT, IIFT, SNAP, etc. the knowledge of the heads of important organizations is really helpful. More often than not, you will end up getting couple of questions on these. There is also a reasonable chance that you will get a question of Match-The-Following type where this information would be really useful.
In 2011, over 2500 students graduated from the top B schools in India that we cover. We thought we should build some insight into how people do 18 months after graduation i.e. see how many people switch jobs in the first 18 months after graduation.
I love yellow. Always have. I get drawn to yellow sweatshirts in apparel stores and aspire to drive sexy yellow cars. There have been girlfriends and bosses who have discouraged this love for the color in clothing and ppt template choices. Perhaps that is why I loved Calcutta so much. The taxis are the perfect shade of yellow. As are the trams and trains. The yellows just light up the streets in the early evenings as people rush home from work. Calcutta isn't shy of dressing up in yellow. And I don't look much unlike the yellow ambassadors in my yellow tshirt!

In my previous post, we talked about the Nobel Prize, the Booker Prize and the Pulitzer Prize. In this post, I would like to cover other important awards like Bharat Ratna, Padma Awards and Ramon Magsaysay Awards. Although there as hundreds, if not thousands, of people who have won these awards – it is not possible to remember all their names. I have filtered out a few for you. These have a higher probability of being asked.
It’s February and I hope everyone would have commenced planning about the closure of their books of accounts. The most important aspect that needs consideration while planning is how to effectively reduce one’s income-tax liability for the current year (FY 2013).
The Financial Times global MBA rankings for 2013 are out, and the top ten is an elite club that includes a lone Asian member standing tall amidst the Harvards, Stanfords and Whartons of the world. We are talking about HKUST – Business school, ranked 8th in the world. In this comprehensive interview for readers of InsideIIM, Chris Tsang, Executive Director of the MBA program at HKUST takes time out to answer our readers’ queries about the student mix, the admissions process, the curriculum, and the job prospects for students of HKUST Business School. He talks about the key features of HKUST’s MBA course that have helped it maintain a world top ten rank for the fourth year running. He explains that Hong Kong is a gateway to the 1.3 billion consumers of mainland China – a market that businesses cannot afford to ignore. We highly recommend all our readers to go through this interview and pose more questions below if need be.
In philosophy, the study of knowledge is called epistemology, and the philosopher Plato famously defined knowledge as "justified true belief." There is however no single agreed upon definition of knowledge, and there are numerous theories to explain it. When it comes to studying or preparing ‘General Knowledge / Awareness’ for a competitive exam, there are some broad based theories or guidelines which a student can use. I hope you understand that preparing for General Awareness is not an exact science like mathematics and will never be. But we can make an educated guess. A topic which has been very popular in CMAT and other management exams has been Awards / Medals / Prizes. Although information about awards and awards winners is readily available on the internet, the problem is that there is too much information. Most students get bogged down looking at long lists. So, I have filtered that information and made shortened lists which would be easier to go through and remember. So, here we go.
