Be Prepared For The MBA Monster

MBA is perhaps one of the most wanted (read: overrated) degrees in India. Lakhs of students appear for dozens of exams and are then selected in hundreds of colleges. This process is a well-oiled machine which has been creating, nurturing and churning out corporate honchos who will conquer the business world. Bold newspaper headlines about placement scenarios, fat paychecks and that distant Sharma ji's son who became an Investment banker, all of these factors are functional in making an aspirant believe in the potency of an MBA.

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. Ask any panellist who has ever taken a PGP interview and he/she would describe the pain of hearing the monotonous satiated versions of “to complement my technical skills with managerial skills” and “to set foot on the path towards enterprising”.

Battling The Sea Of Confusion - To Do Or Not Do An MBA?

But there always are a few students who manage to bag high-end jobs that break university records. They say it’s a secret, they say it cannot be revealed, but it isn’t so. The fact of the matter is that employers visiting to recruit look for the most basic of etiquette's and mannerisms.
