Indian MBA v/s Foreign MBA

A very pertinent question among a lot of MBA aspirants, especially those with workex, is whether an Indian MBA is comparable to one from the United States. Or maybe Europe for that matter. Even freshers, at times, think about working for a few years and then pursuing an MBA from abroad. Then there are some who believe that work experience is a mandatory criterion to make an MBA course fruitful. Let us look at the intent behind these points of views and examine whether the IIMs or for that matter all the top institutes in the country live up to their expectations.

First Year MBA Survival Strategy From An XLer

If you thought getting through to a b-school was difficult, surviving it comes very close to it. Today, I have completed my first year at XLRI, and it was not easy. From failing at a subject to excelling at some, I have received grades which are spread across the grade spectrum. First-year MBA brings in a lot of drama, every day. In the midst of so much that is happening around you, there are some things which can help you stay focused, and I am jotting them down below.

Should You Leave Your Job For Full-time CAT Preparation?

In 2015, as a working CAT aspirant, I always had these questions on my mind: “Should I leave my IT job to concentrate on the CAT 2015 preparation." I didn’t leave my job because I could somehow manage my time and had taken CAT twice before. But not everyone has a job which gives them some time to prepare. Aspirant working in core sectors or the field jobs have a 6-day week and rotational shifts that makes streamlined preparation very difficult. Even many people in IT or desk jobs, who haven’t prepped for CAT before and don’t have time for joining any coaching, would face this question.

Is CAT Really Tough? Or Is It Just About The Strategy?

This is one of the most common questions that I come across every year coming from CAT exam aspirants. To answer in simple words- NO IT IS NOT. The complexity of CAT exam increases because the stakes are high and so is the competition. Students botch it up under pressure. The CAT is a yearly exam which increases the stakes by big margin every year.

What Is Your Reason For An MBA?

The biggest drawback of the Indian mentality is evaluating every decision with a pure tangible return on investment. Unfortunately, this also extends to the education system and the decisions we make related to education. MBA is the most prominent victim of this mentality. With even the B-Schools succumbing to this undeterred Indian mentality by making placement statistics their unique selling point and also inflating them using a lot of creativity, it has become a norm to look at the MBA decision from the pure perspective of how much the starting salary will be after 2 years vis-a-vis what it is right now.
