It has been increasingly seen that just as a graduation course ends, students look to enhance their skills through a suitable postgraduate program. More often than not, it happens to be a management course. Many see it as a gateway to diverse opportunities, some see it is an opportunity to network with diverse minds while some just follow others in the race. So let’s find out as to why MBA is pursued on such a large scale.
There is one recurrent question which candidates have to face during their interviews for admissions into their choice of B-Schools and also during their interviews during Summer Placements. That question is, “Why MBA?”
Why MBA? Let us cut to the chase. You google ten reasons for any topic, and you can find dozens of results. There is this irresistible urge to share your opinion once you achieve something. Or maybe not. Take, for example, these gym freaks. One excellent evening this roommate of mine gets up from his couch, rides an uber to Nike showroom, and buys a sleek pair of running shoes. And suddenly he is a fitness expert. For the next two weeks, I can’t hear the end of, ‘You should join me at the gym bro’ or ‘Join me on writing this fitness blog bro.’ First, I am not his 'bro', and second, that shoe went on a permanent sabbatical soon after that. Anyway, the moral of the story is, unlike my friend, I am minimally qualified to write about the reasons to do an MBA.
Have you wondered why people choose to do an MBA? Perhaps for better work prospects and return on investment? Perhaps in order to gain an edge over others? Every year, lakhs of students graduate out of b-schools, and get placed. The question is - why? In this video, our guest speakers at Konversations Cafe, alumni from top b-schools all over the world and professionals at some of the leading organisations in India and abroad, share their why MBA stories.
When most of us think MBA, we see those $$$ pouring out of our wallets, and hopefully, $$$ pouring back in. Return on Investment (RoI) is one of the most relevant factors when deciding on a B- school. And why not! When you get lucrative packages post final placements, and the amazing recruiters that pop up on campus, you know that you’re getting the bang for your buck.
One of the most powerful solutions to tackle even the most difficult dilemma is in fact the question ‘Why?’
So different folks are at different stages of the journey, and this note is an attempt to douse the curiosity of the young, smart and ambitious lot here who are looking to earn an MBA from some of the best universities across the globe. And as they decide to invest in this experience of a lifetime, here’s presenting some generic insights from a half-MBA to sharpen their decision-making process.
