It is that time of the year when students across the country are scribbling notes about the current news, going through their CV, preparing answers in front of the mirror and ironing out their best business suits. The GD-PI round of getting into your dream b-school is a carefully planned screening process that lets the institute know who'd be a good fit in their classroom.
One of the biggest factors you need to consider when pursuing an MBA is not only the return on money invested but also the return on time invested. With busy schedules and ever-evolving job demands, there is a need for an alternative to a full-time program for working professionals.
In today’s scenario, the term “Indian IT Male” has turned out to be a category in itself. The Indian IT sector is a leader when it comes to technology and business services and is also the biggest employer for Indian technology professionals. Indian IT professionals work with the world’s leading organizations not only to support their business and technology processes but also help them in fulfiling their business goals.
Getting a good CAT score is definitely an achievement resulting from yearlong perseverance. But this sense of fulfilment should not ruin one’s chances of getting their dream B-School. Yes, you are half-way through your journey, and it’s time to prove your mettle in GD/PI process.
It’s that time of the year again where “MBA aspirants” (in search of a better term) from around the country would start to think about their prospective business schools. Our priority list always consists of much the same factors – placements, faculty, location, campus, fees etc. However, it often gets confusing as many of the average packages in LPAs these days seem strikingly close to each other and the views we get from the insiders studying in these B-Schools about campus and faculties often seem too good to be true. I had much of the same issues while I was looking for my perfect management school to enrol in. And I write here in an attempt to make this selection easier for you, by telling you that there is probably one more factor that can help you shortlist schools of your choice and that is sheer numbers. Yes, I mean the number of students you would be studying with – it does matter.
My interview took place in Ahmedabad. There were three interviewers on my panel. I was the second last on my list.
