SJMSOM Mumbai vs NITIE Mumbai - A Comparative Guide

As a CAT aspirant, it is imperative to prepare oneself for the decision of selecting the best fit institute. Not everyone is aiming the BLACKIS or XLRI. Sometimes even with a 99.5+ %le, people from little less financially stable backgrounds would opt for colleges with a better ROI rather than a better brand value. So certainly there is no generalized rule for selecting an institute. Pursuing an MBA is not only about the academic effort one needs to put in but also requires careful selection of options available since an investment of this magnitude is always risky.

What I Learnt From Social Media Groups While Preparing For CAT

It's been long since I decided to write something about the 'online groups' culture that has been brewing in the 'MBA preparation' ecosystem and I feel there's no better time to write about this, than now, when the interview season is about to end and most of the groups formed last year are about to die out. Although I wasn't a firm believer that such groups can help me in any way, I still decided to delve in and here's what I learnt.

Indian MBA v/s Foreign MBA

A very pertinent question among a lot of MBA aspirants, especially those with workex, is whether an Indian MBA is comparable to one from the United States. Or maybe Europe for that matter. Even freshers, at times, think about working for a few years and then pursuing an MBA from abroad. Then there are some who believe that work experience is a mandatory criterion to make an MBA course fruitful. Let us look at the intent behind these points of views and examine whether the IIMs or for that matter all the top institutes in the country live up to their expectations.

Should You Leave Your Job For Full-time CAT Preparation?

In 2015, as a working CAT aspirant, I always had these questions on my mind: “Should I leave my IT job to concentrate on the CAT 2015 preparation." I didn’t leave my job because I could somehow manage my time and had taken CAT twice before. But not everyone has a job which gives them some time to prepare. Aspirant working in core sectors or the field jobs have a 6-day week and rotational shifts that makes streamlined preparation very difficult. Even many people in IT or desk jobs, who haven’t prepped for CAT before and don’t have time for joining any coaching, would face this question.

Is CAT Really Tough? Or Is It Just About The Strategy?

This is one of the most common questions that I come across every year coming from CAT exam aspirants. To answer in simple words- NO IT IS NOT. The complexity of CAT exam increases because the stakes are high and so is the competition. Students botch it up under pressure. The CAT is a yearly exam which increases the stakes by big margin every year.

What Is Your Reason For An MBA?

The biggest drawback of the Indian mentality is evaluating every decision with a pure tangible return on investment. Unfortunately, this also extends to the education system and the decisions we make related to education. MBA is the most prominent victim of this mentality. With even the B-Schools succumbing to this undeterred Indian mentality by making placement statistics their unique selling point and also inflating them using a lot of creativity, it has become a norm to look at the MBA decision from the pure perspective of how much the starting salary will be after 2 years vis-a-vis what it is right now.
