A Metamorphosis - Omkar Sahoo - XSRM

There are moments when we often wonder what life has to offer in its platter. 2 years ago, the word “Rural” didn’t sound corporate enough to me. Thankfully, this reasoning didn’t get consideration in my decision. The outcome is me pursuing MBA in Rural Management. I feel privileged. To describe RM in a nutshell, I would choose the word - Metamorphosis. It’s a process of four stages - larvae, caterpillar, pupae & adult; and I am very happy to be a part of this process.

Why I Chose IIM Bangalore Over IIM Calcutta

Before I start elaborating on the factors that went into deciding which IIM is better, I would like to mention that being a student of IIM Bangalore, it is natural to have a bias towards the institute. However, in this article, I have tried to remain as neutral as possible basing my decision solely on facts.

MBA With Work Experience Or MBA As A Fresher? - IIM Bangalore Student's Perspective

In the job market, work experience prior to doing an MBA is undervalued as opposed to the work experience after doing an MBA. I will give two scenarios here and compare how work experience prior to doing an MBA is heavily discounted. Consider two students who have completed their undergrad from the same college and graduated in the year 2015. Now one person went on to work for 3 years and after the hikes and promotions managed to get a salary of 10-12 lakhs in 2018, he later decides to join a B-School. Whereas his batchmate went on to do an MBA as a fresher from one of the top B-Schools and now earns a whopping 21 lakh after a year of work experience. This difference is very drastic and even if we consider an investment in management education, the breakeven point is within 2 years. Unless the person who worked for three years was unsure of doing an MBA back in 2015, he/she has worked three extra years at a lower salary than his fellow batchmate to eventually reach the same position that his friend has reached three years before!
