Is MBA The Right Move For You? - Niteen Bali From IIM Calcutta
How do you know if MBA is right for you?
How do you know if MBA is right for you?
L: WAT & GD: The topic was related to Indian villages and their contribution to Indian economy. Same topic for both WAT as well as GD. (can't remember the exact words) My Performance: WAT: Was able to do well in both as had the same WAT topic in IIFT. GD: For discussion, we had around 10 people in the group and it went on for 12 minutes. Didn't turn into a fish market. Spoke 4 times. Gave points of rural electrification and technical reforms to bring modernization in villages.
This question is for those who are preparing for all kinds of management entrance examinations – CAT, MAT, GMAT, or any of those similar acronyms. As you are nearing the end of your graduation, you must be probably thinking, “Now what?” For most of you, going for a master’s degree is a right option, and what is more lucrative than an MBA degree?
The Xavier Aptitude Test (XAT) is probably the second most important MBA entrance exam after CAT. Though SNAP and NMAT compete very closely with XAT in terms of the number of people writing the exam, the fact that XLRI Jamshedpur (which is in the top 5 management institutes in the country) and a few other institutes select students ONLY on the basis of XAT, makes this exam a coveted exam to crack.
IIFT 2016 was held on 27th November, 2016 - just a week before CAT. IIFT Results came out on 23rd December, 2016 whereas the cutoffs were released today. Have a look at the cutoffs below:
In last 51 years, IIFT has evolved from being a foreign trade facilitator to a globally networked institution in international trade and business with a rich heritage, and strong alumni network both within India and abroad.
It was the evening of 5th March 2016, when I received an email from ISB- the subject of the mail was “Your EEO Application Result”. After 5 minutes of anxiety following an increase in my heartbeat rate, I gathered the courage to open the mail and I was in! I couldn’t have been happier. I had prepared myself to be good enough for the Indian School of Business for 3 long years and finally the offer letter was in my hand. Celebrations were followed by an existential crisis since I’d have to join class only in 2017, which means I had exactly one year to go before I join the school. I had already decided that if I get an admit through EEO (Early Entry Option), I would use the one year (prior to joining) to the utmost of my capability. And what could have been better than using it to help others get an admit?
