Are MBA Exams Competitive or Eliminative?
Every year all of us prepare for MBA entrance exams where we are convinced we are entering a fierce competition where only the smartest and most strategic survive. But here’s the uncomfortable truth that we often miss and that is these exams aren’t about winning but they’re about not losing. There’s a difference, and it’s massive. MBA entrance exams are not competitive in the true sense of the word. They’re eliminative and once we understand this, our approach and our expectations should shift accordingly.
