The Right Fit - How To Choose A B-School

After all the hustle, clearing the competitive examinations, going through the rigorous GD-PI process, we all undergo a mental fight when it comes to finally choosing a b-school. Selecting a b-school is quite a major decision as it decides not only the next two years of your life but this decision has a great impact on your professional as well personal life. The more you talk to people to take suggestions, the more you get confused. Surely every person is different and so are their preferences and judgements while making such a decision but there are some points which one must keep in mind before coming to a conclusion.

Why You Need To Forget About Your Percentile In CAT

Why You Need To Forget About Your Percentile In CAT

So you have decided that MBA is for you but it might seem as though getting into b-school is too difficult a road to traverse. The unrelenting assault of DI and LR in CAT, verbal dizziness brought upon by a 'serious case' of paragraph jumble and the unfortunate dilution of the quantitative section to set the deck against engineers: it might seem as though you don't have what it takes to get yourself an MBA from premier b-school. This is exactly what you need to forget about getting that coveted call from your dream b-school. What you need to remember and understand before you venture into this phase of your life are your strength and weakness and by that, I don't mean whether your quantitative ability is weak or your inability to crack LR. These are the symptoms of your problem, not the problem. I want you to look for something more fundamental about yourself that you want to work on to get to your dream b-school.

On Being A GEM, 3-Year Journey To XLRI, And Yoda

Why MBA And How MBA?

Why MBA And How MBA?

So, MBA right? Did you tell your parents or you just took the decision alone by seeing your friends getting a hefty salary while you are working in some office, barely managing to present your girlfriend the iPhone she asked for or some necklace your mother was seeing when she was passing by the local jewellery shop and when you asked whether she wanted that or not, she purposefully directed the conversation to some other way. Yes, MBA is the most sought-after career in India and when we are asked Why MBA in the college interviews? We tend to give the same cliched answer that "I want to make a mark in the field of business or I want to be an entrepreneur". I being one of them gave the same reply. Here I am going to describe my own story of pursuing MBA from a very reputed B-School in India.

For The Love Of MBA

For The Love Of MBA

As the sky grew deeper into the shades of night with the stars lighting up the city with their smile, I walk a lonely road shining under the magnificent canvas of the heavens. As the wind blows through my hair with the fragrance of the flowers filling up my lungs I embrace the silence of the woods. Walking down the moon-kissed roads of IIM Bangalore, I climb my mountain of memories. Memories that make me ride on the clouds of confidence and dance on the flames of faith.
