"What do you learn in an MBA program from an IIM?" I quipped before my brother, an alumnus of one, last year. He cheekily replied, "The strategic use of the word 'It depends'."

MBA - Is It Your Inner Calling?

“Why MBA”- an interview question aspirants prepare for religiously, recognising it to be a panellist’s favourite. In the race to achieve higher conversions on their end, the TIMEs and CLs of the country have, over the years turned interview classes into a fad, literally feeding into students the reasons for doing an MBA.
