Expectation Vs Reality - 5 Things In MBA That Are Different From Expectations

Every MBA aspirant in India goes through a long process of taking the entrance exam, filling form of colleges, waiting for the shortlists, appearing for the interviews and then awaiting the final results, if one gets through then it’s okay but many have to patiently watch the wait-list move before getting that ‘accomplished wali’ feeling. Many aspirants become serial CAT taker in order to get to their dream B-school, the place which would not just offer them a good profile and package but also 2 years of action-packed college life.

Things To Consider When You Are Stepping Into The MBA World

With shortlists coming out from left, right and centre along with the last stage interviews going on in a parallel manner, no wonder aspirants tend to panic and get confused. And it is not something one needs to be ashamed of - come January and every aspirant worth the number of tests solved is busy running helter-skelter, both figuratively and physically.

Pre-Interview Test And Personal Interview Of TISS, HRM &LR - 'Survival Of The Fittest'

Pre-Interview Test And Personal Interview Of TISS, HRM &LR - 'Survival Of The Fittest'

People who aspire to join the Human Resources Management and Labour Relations course at TISS Mumbai are familiar with the fact that cracking TISSNET is only half the battle won; the more challenging and gruelling rounds are yet to come. The Pre-Interview Test and Personal Interview rounds are often considered to be the make-or-break rounds for your final selection and there is a good reason for this. Unlike most other management courses, the PIT & PI rounds for TISS admissions have a 20 and 40 percent weightage respectively, coupled with an extremely tough final selection ratio. This thought makes many people approach these rounds with a great deal of apprehension, and sometimes even make them entirely give up.

How To Get Into An IIM - An Interview Guide

I remember, not so long ago, when I was in that very position. When our MBA training institutes, hell bent at making us learn our ‘HR answers’, had convinced us that there’d be veritable dragons sitting on the panel who will look at everything – from the crease on your collar to your missing dupatta! And then there were all the legends, who someone had heard from a friend’s friend, of panels with over 10 dignitaries from various fields asking you questions with no correct answer possible just to test your mettle! Obscure riddles and situations – from an interviewer breaking a glass and asking you to count the pieces to someone asking you how many stars are there in the sky! Everything had made its rounds.

Why (Or Why Not) Should You Go For An MBA

Why (Or Why Not) Should You Go For An MBA

The one question that CAT aspirants dread the most, coaching institutes emphasise on the most and B-Schools ask the most is ‘Why MBA?’ Not only is this a question with no tailor-made answer, but also this is a driving question: the direction in which your interview will head, and how it will head, depends a lot on how you answer it. Besides, as an adult making an important life decision, you ought to have an answer to this question for yourself, don’t you?

Are You MBA Ready Or Not?

Are You MBA Ready Or Not?

When to go for an MBA is a critical decision for every aspirant. Every B-school has a set of basic criteria. Almost every school needs a bachelors` degree and a work experience is looked favourably. The top B-schools in the country just not merely want straight 'A' students but are looking for passionate people. To each and every aspirant, I will advise them to connect the dots of their life and thereby create a consistent personality that resonates with the expectations of a B-school. But, what are those qualities that make one MBA ready or not? Here are some traits which every MBA aspirant should possess (also, this helps even in life, whether you are an MBA or not):
