Myself from IIMK. BSchools will always show avg package to be 31lakhs or more with 100% placement but will never reveal VSO(Voluntary signed out) candidates. Fact is if you fail to get placed within the placement season or placed at very low ctc, you will be forced to sign VSO. Fortunately this year IIMK had only 1 VSO(and tbh he deserved it). IIML had 25 in comparison 😅. So choose your b-school well and give your best there. Just bcs you are in bschool doesn't mean ki placement mil hi jayega

Please contact officials about this copying issue and help students. When we try to write exam it will stop the flow of ours. Maybe tcs or other examination places will set larger coverups or large and more secure cubicles which are still watchable by invigilators but the person next to us can't disturb us.

Don't worry. You can take a loan. You should be able to pay it up in 3-4 years after MBA. You can watch some more videos on KZfaq about this. You can pay it earlier by participating in case competitions and earning from there as well.

@arpitakhanna621 Жыл бұрын

Even my parents can't afford to pay, so don't worry, an education loan isn't a bad loan, consider it an investment for your future. Once you're in the top B-Schools you'd easily be able to pay it off. I am also awaiting result and stressing over all this but you gotta do what you gotta do.

@sagargupta8923 Жыл бұрын

Siddharth hey bro, For VARC, I will also say what everyone says and this is to read as much as you can, you may start with some novels and then scale up to articles from eon essays, big brain, Smithsonian, and guardian. I will recommend reading a newspaper at least daily that will help you after CAT also. will recommend THE HINDU and ensure you read the editorial page of that. While reading try to rate yourself on a scale of 10. And then try to gear up. When I started I was a noob, and never read novels. So while reading I try to make arguments by myself. Same I will suggest you too. So this is for reading. " Now talking about solving RCs specifically. Look while solving RCs you might get to two of the closest options and most of the time you get the wrong one. So I will recommend now you should make a small note with TITLE HOW TO ELIMINATE and whenever you are stuck although you mark it wrong at that time if you remember why you should not mark it you will make it for next time hope you make it bro Best wishes

2:52, "MBA ke liye financial security chahiye, har koi nhi kr skta na"---- Most stupid question asked in the whole podcast. More than majority of the students get loan for pursuing MBA from tier 1 colleges and it has a positive ROI. Don't think ROI in terms of Math only. MBA from tier-1 college makes you a different person, it teaches you a lot. 3:53, there is no ideal time in life for anything. It depends upon you, when you feel the need to do mba. BLACKI has at least 25% freshers. 5:21 if someone has cleared CAT with 2 weeks of prep, then at the first place that person don't even need to go for MBA. He already very smart and can make lots of money. 21:02, Everyone is not privileged to be born in family that is capable of sponsoring the MBA fees. Majority of candidates go for loans and there is nothing wrong with that. 25:56, degree still matters a lot in India . It smoothens your career path. If degree doensn't matter, just try to get into top consulting or IB firm without it. 33:39, who is that stupid saying MBA college me padhne mat jao, these guys compete for marks to grab high packages Try to be little unbiased while doing podcast.
