With 2 years of work experience and grit to pursue Masters in Business Administration so as to strive faster towards the goal of making a career in the managerial role, I arrived at the IIM Nagpur WAT/PI location in Bangalore city.
One of the biggest confusion faced by many aspirants each year is whether they should join the B-School they converted. It is indeed a dilemma if one should give another attempt at MBA entrance exams in the hopes of joining a better one next year. To be honest, this is a matter of personal choice but the following points might help in making an informed decision:
India is a country with a population of over 1.2 billion people (as per that last census conducted in 2011). Of these 1.2 billion, approximately 0.1% of the population appears for the exam that is the gateway to the highly venerable management institutes of the country - the IIMs. Of these 0.1% of the applicants, only 1% are shortlisted to fill the PGP seats across the 20 IIMs across the country. A few hundred more fill-up the seats at other top non-IIM management institutes, while the rest kill their dreams of joining an elite management institute and end up joining B-schools that may be subpar in terms of pedagogy and/or placements, or decide to give the exam another shot and hope that lady luck smiles upon them. However, there is an option which Indian MBA aspirants fail to take cognizance of while they're putting on their shoes to run the IIM race - pursuing an MBA abroad.
With an introduction to the scope of management education abroad, we now take a look at the most crucial element of studying abroad - admissions. In India, the admissions process for B-schools begins with the entrance exams, the personal interview, academic writing test and group discussion round, followed by an admission offer. However, the process for mba admissions abroad is somewhat different.
After a well organised induction, we joined our respective sectors. I got posted at the Group Corporate Office with the GMC Team. I had already met my guide and buddy during the induction, as they took care of the entire process. After a fruitful discussion and expectation setting with both of them, it was now time to get down to business.

The Avengers-Endgame movie which released this Friday has been running to packed houses. Each and every person going to watch the movie is having a blast, including myself. Being a student from a B-School, I could not help but draw parallels between the characteristics of my dream company to the characteristics they possessed.
