“It is our choices that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.” – Albus Dumbledore
With 35 months of work experience in the IT industry and a B.Tech degree in Electrical and Electronics in my portfolio, I was quite confident on the day of my IIM interview. Being a GEM (General Engineer Male), I was the society’s Adarsh Balak. I had followed my parents’ aspirations to the belief that there is nothing that would stop me from going to an IIM for my MBA degree. This was my second attempt at CAT, and 3rd interview call at an IIM, the other two being from my previous CAT attempts.
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.
