Hmmm...

when it comes to Institute selection, "MBA Aspirants (most dedicated and serious candidates)" who dropped last year because either available institutes were not suitable for them or they were not suitable for remaining institutes.

Mr. A spend 12 long years in formal education and then 3 or 4 years in college masti but masti and time pass is almost over now as his/her parents wants tham to pursue management career.

MBA karna hai .......Par Kaha se, kaise, konsa exam dena hai, kaha apply karna hai.

"kuch pata nahi" even some of he/his friends dont know "kyu karna hai"

Is it a Degree, Status Symbol, High salaries, Life in Management Colleges, Because you just want to stay out of HOME, Friends ne kiya to mujhe bhi karna hai....

There must be something in mind which keeps prompting you about Mission MBA or PGDM or PGP (all are 2 year full time Management Programme) 

Pursuing MBA/PGDM/PGP (2 year full time management programme) is not just parking your self for 2 years, it is investing 2 years for next 30-40 years, so there must be a serious and proper mind set for "MBA Kyu Karna hai".

Once "MBA Kyu" Concept is clear, your work is half done.....

Half Done........................!

I am not kidding, Yes you found this right "HALF DONE"

because now you just need to find which institutes are available which are suitable for your need (MBA Kyu).

The first phase of CAT 2009 was from November 28th to December 8th, 2009. The second phase of CAT 2009 will be on January 30th and 31st, 2010.

Equity and fairness requires that candidates who faced disruptions during thetest be given an opportunity to complete the test while not requiring those who completed the test successfully to take the test again.

The following candidates would be scheduled for a test in the second phase of CAT 2009:

1. those who could not take the test due to planned or unplanned closure of their test lab and were not rescheduled later in the first phase. (This does not include voluntary no-shows.)
2. those who were rescheduled but could not appear for the test because of notice period of less than 48 hours.
3. those who were rescheduled but could not appear for the test as they were rescheduled in a city different from their original choice.
4. those who pressed the End/Quit button within the first 120 minutes during the first three days of the testing window and have not been rescheduled yet. (If a candidate in this category chooses not to take the rescheduled test, then his/her score from the first phase of testing will be retained.)
5. those who completed the test in more than 140 minutes of clock-time* due to computer disruptions. (If a candidate in this category does not appear for the rescheduled test, then his/her score from the first phase of testing will be considered null and void.)
6. those who completed the test in 136 minutes to 140 minutes of clock-time* due to computer disruptions would have an option to take the rescheduled test. (If a candidate in this category does not appear for the rescheduled test, then his/her score from the first phase of testing will be retained.)
7. those who experienced difficulties due to various kinds of disruptions such as frozen computer screen, blank screen, and data/graphic elements not displaying properly; identified through site reports recorded at the test labs and have not been rescheduled yet.

(*Clock-time refers to actual elapsed time from the start of the test tothe end of the test for a candidate. This is different from the timeindicated by the count-down timer which was displayed on the computerscreen.)

The above criteria have been arrived at based onthe analysis of calls and emails received from the candidates; sitereports filed by the site managers; computer logs; and informationgathered from websites and blogs. The rescheduling (based on the abovecriteria) and the psychometric equivalences that will be establishedacross the test address all issues of equity and fairness raised invarious forums (including those pertaining to candidates gettingadditional clock-time).

The candidates identified for there-test in phase two would receive communication from Prometric byJanuary 10, 2010. The results of CAT 2009 are likely to be declared bythe third week of February 2010.

Take a long breath and think…! Is it good enough to write an exam for Admission in Top Institute?

Answer is No…!  It’s not good enough, you also need to prepare well for (Group Discussion & personal Interview) GD-PI. Now admissions are based on written exam + GD-PI + Work Experience + Previous Academics + Extra co curricular activities (if any)

Let’s have a look at GD as a part of Admission Process

Group Discussion (GD) is a nothing more than a discussion done in group. So what's so special about Group Discussion? We do discussion in groups all the time, sitting in our college canteen discussing about cool guys / hot girls, discussing about friends, games, music, movies, studies, etc. again the question is same why is this discussion so different?

Why so Different..! Group Discussion VS Discussion in your Group

·         You can’t choose the topic

·         You don’t have an option to stay away

·         You might not know anything (A, B, C…) about the topic

·         You may not interact with known faces

·         Aim of this discussion is not just to discuss, or Pass Time but to score or crack Admission Process

·         Mainly Group Discussion is used as one of the admission criteria.

You planned for an entrance exam (CAT/MAT/SNAP/NMAT/IBSAT/FMS/IIFT/XAT or else), Read hell lot of stuff for the same, Appeared for Entrance exam and Cracked the exam too …..! Now what?

As per normal Admission process you need to apply for desired institute, if your scores (entrance exam) are good enough you would be getting a call for further process Group Discussion and Personal Interview(GD-PI).

Why Group Discussion is used as further process for Admission?

Group Discussion is a technique to assess the candidate’s:

·         Presence of mind (Creative & Analytical)

·         Communication Skills

·         Knowledge (depth and distribution)

·         Be visible and balanced (not too aggressive nor too timid)

·         Capability to listen and make people listen

·         Capability to co-ordinate and lead

·         Contribution to the topic and discussion

Your views and queries are invited, I would encourage interaction with you, so that we can understand each other and help you realize and succeed for your dreams.

Hi, 

Appeared for MBA Entrance Exams (CAT/MAT/State Level Exam)

What are the plans for MBA Admission....Confused.......400+Institutes in MAT............150+ Institutes in CAT and 100+ in State Level Exam

Which One is better for you................?

Let’s discuss the possibilities

Course Name is more important or Group Associated with that Institute is more important.

Approvals are more important or Placement records (for Old Institutes)/Placement Opportunities (new Institutes).

Your Interested Specialization is more important or any specialization in demand is good enough?

While selecting Suitable Institute, Students are supposed to understand their requirement such as "Why they want to pursue MBA"

• Placements, Industrial Exposure, MDP's
• Degree
• Status Symbol
• Friends are doing so.......
• Well As you don’t have other options
• or "Chalo kuch Naya Karte hai"

Decide first why do you wants to go for MBA...........?

Don’t just park your two year, spend for better career and opportunities...!

Then start looking for options.... (Available options only) IIM’s are best but are u suitable for IIM’s, Analalyze your self, understand the difference between Best options and suitable/available Options

Take a long breath and analyze 10-12 lines written above. Surely it will help you.....?

Your views and queries are invited.
