MBA With Work Experience Or MBA As a Fresher?

MBA With Work Experience Or MBA As a Fresher?

MBA with Work Experience or MBA as a Fresher - an age-old debate. Is there a correct answer to this? There are inherent advantages and disadvantages with either of the two choices. While on one side, doing an MBA after having some prior Work Experience makes it possible for you to link theory to practice; on the other end, pursuing an MBA as a fresher makes it easy for you to adjust to the b-school rigour. So what should you do?

How To Select The Right B-School?

How To Select The Right B-School?

India today has more than 5500 MBA colleges. Needless to say that most of these colleges do not add any value to a student graduating from them. Some of these colleges spend heavily on advertising and create a false perception of education quality and placements. A study by ASSOCHAM said that only 7% of MBA graduates are employable and the rest earn less than INR 10k a month if they find placements.   A situation like this makes choosing the right B-School one of the most important decisions you will be making in your life. I have mentioned a few parameters that may help you in the process.

Reminiscing Life At Joka

Reminiscing Life At Joka

Six months into Management Institute, I look back and think 2017 has been the best of this decade so far. The massive reason being my successful admission into IIM Calcutta, completing the first 4 months at Joka (our beloved IIM C campus is called ‘Joka’) and bagging an internship at TAS which had been a dream for two years. All these phenomenal changes on paper along with finding a different personality in me have been like nothing before ever in life. It looks so hunky dory on the outside when said but just like a movie production where a bunch of people work so hard to get the actors on screen and make it a success, my story had a lot of characters in it to bring it so far. TL-DR; it’s been this- ‘At Joka, we leave no one behind’ - A line I heard during my city meets with the PGP2s after getting the admission letter. But it’s more than just a line. It’s been the essence of the past 6 months at Joka and almost all of 2017. Allow me to elaborate.

Preparation Tips On Belling MBA Interviews

Preparation Tips On Belling MBA Interviews

The results of CAT will be most probably out by the second week of January and your WAT-PI round will be conducted in mid-February or later. This gives you roughly a time of 45 days to prepare for WAT-PI round. Although some of you might have already started preparing for WAT-PI but for those who haven’t, 'start your preparation now'. It is not late and even I started my preparation around this time only last year.
