The first year of MBA for almost all the colleges in India will start in a couple of months. Some of you will still have a few interviews pending. But the majority of candidates at this point are clueless about how to best utilize their time. Everyone is waiting for results, unsure of which college they will end up in. Here are a few tips on what you can do in the following months to not only make the most of your time, but also something that will help you in your MBA.
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.
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.
Now that you’ve got your CAT percentile and interview calls, it is that time of the year again when the interview frenzy takes over. Questions like ‘Who am I?’ and ‘Why I am doing what I am doing’ start plaguing you. Well, worry not!
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.
