Post MBA, Your Network Is Your Net Worth - Presenting You The B-School Network!
Pursuing an MBA might be one of the most critical decisions of one’s career. Over two hundred thousand odd individuals appear for various entrance examinations aspiring to get into their dream B-schools. Out of this staggering number of students, only a handful actually get the elusive congratulatory mail from these esteemed institutions. Sounds like a pretty tough bet, right? But to the aspirants’ respite, there are few good coaching institutes and other platforms that offer tailored programs for these entrance examinations, courtesy of a well-defined syllabus and exam pattern provided well in advance, by the respective institutions. So, after all the hard work and perseverance over months, appearing for various exams and WAT/PIs, when one finally gets admitted into a coveted MBA program, their joy knows no bounds. But this is where the real struggle starts, because the battle had not even started. In the excitement of getting into a top B-school, we tend to forget about the 2-year journey that awaits us. Because, no matter how well you score in your entrance exam, it will be of little significance in your journey of becoming a management graduate, ready to take on real-world problems. What makes this journey more tedious is the vast ocean of knowledge up for grabs, and no right path to set the ship sailing. In the race of becoming well prepared and staying updated, we turn to various social media platforms, and start following innumerable pages and forums. As a result, we have a plethora of information at our disposal. With a huge mountain to climb with limited resources (time), we tend to use a widely used, but not so effective strategy of FCFS (First Come First Swallow).
