Why A Fresher Should Avoid MBA? - Niteen Bali, IIM Calcutta

Why A Fresher Should Avoid MBA? - Niteen Bali, IIM Calcutta

My low grade in engineering was the reason I ended up at IIM Calcutta. Yes, you read it right. In the first place, IIMC owing to its bohemian culture does not place any significance on graduation score. Secondly,  I wanted to work for 2 years and then figure out whether to go for an MBA or do Masters abroad. But I was in a precarious situation – I didn't get through the companies I wished to work for, because of my low grades. I was sure that if I did an MBA it had to be from a top school. IIMC ended up being my only option. Anyway, I do not have many regrets since I just go with the flow. I guess life is what happens when you are busy planning something else. Well, there are quite a few reasons why a ‘facha’ (the fresher breed is condescendingly called) should not opt to join B-School right after graduation, leaving aside the fact that conventionally business education in western countries is made eligible to only people with work experience.

Speed, Knowledge, Decision Making are the three ingredients that make a good manager. MBA entrance exams’ aim is to identify students who have these three skills and no exam does it better than SNAP. Symbiosis National Aptitude Test of SNAP as many would know it tests the ability of a student to score the maximum possible marks in a limited time. The beauty is in letting the student decide which section he wants to attempt within the given time with the added advantage that there are NO sectional cutoffs for almost all institutes in the Symbiosis stable.
