Vision MBA to Mission MBA

Posted by Arun

Hmmm….. so planning for MBA/PGDM (2 year management programme)

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), starts hunting institutes without knowing their preference or priorities.

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 them 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).

There are 3 types of courses available in India. One is MBA (UGC Approved) normally through state level or deemed university, second is PGDM an autonomous programme which is AICTE Approved; third one is PGP fully autonomous course along with MBA UGC & DEC Approved (Distance Education Council)

MBA/PG Aspirants must understand that weather Placements/Industrial exposure/leanings are important  or just a "degree", approvals are more important or getting good exposure, Institutes giving full page advertisement in dailies are good or Institutes are old but do not advertise are better and more.....

Best way to get best available option is to know what your preferences are, analyze, find 4-5 institutes as per your preference, visit, apply and finally opt one, but don’t drop an year because no one knows what will happen next year, few more institutes will come next year and you may not be interested in being an article of experiment in first batch, competition will also increase, you may or may not find better option but one thing is sure that you lost one year, which is not going to come back (even better options (not in case of top 15 Institutes) can not compensate with frustration you will face in 365 days and salary of one year in case of admission in above average institute)

So why to Drop if you are average or just above average student, this may sound odd you now you must realize that what you are good at and what you are bad at

How to select institute for MBA/PGDM/PGP

Posted by Arun

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.
