Hey! Could you elaborate a little on how beneficial post MBA opportunities would be in the next 2 years, given the COVID-19 situation ? Especially if one is going overseas from India
@MBACrystalBall4 жыл бұрын
To a large extent the opportunities will depend on how the economy bounces back in the country you graduate from. Larger, stronger economies are expected to bounce back faster given the resources at their disposal. The biggest impact has been on current students who're already facing the brunt of it. The expectations is that things will be better for the coming batch since they have 2 more years. But these are all theories for now.

Due to the current circumstances, is it a smart thing to consider going this year? Since you're a consultant, what's the vibe you're getting from the aspirants who are on the same boat as I'm? Thank you in advance for taking the time! Regards Akshay
@MBACrystalBall4 жыл бұрын
It sure is a tough and confusing time, Akshay. Whether it's a smart decision or not is for the candidate to decide, based on their personal priorities and appetite for risk. But here's what we've been seeing on the admissions consulting front. While a lot of candidates are still on the fence, a few have already started working with us on their essays. This is quite unusual, since the traditional approach is to first get a test score before moving on to the application work. But here's the logic behind flipping the order. It's going to take a while for the test centers to open. And for those who're clear about applying, delaying the application work till the last moment wouldn't be a good idea. So they're switching the process, to complete the essay work earlier and then focus on GMAT. As long as you're clear about the school choice, and the score doesn't deviate too much from your expectations, the application content isn't dependent on the GMAT / GRE score. And you'd still be ready with a strong application before Round 1 deadlines. Sounds logical?

My undergrad college has tied up with Coursera for free certificates across the board. I graduated in 2018, still, the college has offered me the access. If I put in the hours and and get around 5-10 of those certificates within brands like Pennsylvania, London Business School, IE, Urbana Champaign, I've enrolled and started brand management, marketing analytics and a few others, do all of these really make a difference in front of the recruiter later on alongwith my MBA? As in talking points based off of these certificates leading to reasonably increased chances of employment given that the certificate is relevant to the profile I've applied for and carries an LBS, IE, Pennsylvania etc tag. Basically the query is on how should I go about this, what's the upper limit for these certificates before going overboard and anything else that I should be aware of that I'm missing out, Sir......

It a good gesture from your college to offer this to students and alumni. It's like fully paid buffet. And just as you would in a buffet, be selective in what you'd want to add to your plate.

There are already too many folks waving such certifications on LinkedIn, just because they're easy and cheap to get. And adcoms know that these short courses aren't very selective and rigorous.

Professional growth is also quite a subjective term, so you'll have to get more specific. Here are 3 ways to do that. 1. Are you looking for a change of role, industry or geography (like most full timers do)? In that case, it is not a good fit. 2. If you're looking for a skills upgrade that'll give you a better overview of areas that you currently aren't aware of, it would help. 3. The third type of growth is within the same company. This would again depend on whether your HR dept recognises it and will give you credit for taking it up. Which of these 3 did you have in mind? Another important thing to keep in mind is that PGPMAX is not the flagship product for ISB, like the PGP. So the market awareness wouldn't be comparable.

Considering your experience, one year MBA programs would be a better fit compared to 2-year options. The opportunity cost for those is also lower. However, the budget you have in mind would be too low. Most applicants finance their MBA using a combination of savings, scholarships and loans.

Consider my responses in the context that most KGP grads who work with us aim for a different league of programs. Specially those aiming for consulting, since brand power plays a very important role there. Tuck would be the best brand from the list to achieve those goals. Things get a little iffy with the others, as you may already know. Also, in the worst case scenario if you have to return home, the brand recall among local recruiters wouldn't be very high.

I've lived in hk. My family has been doing business there for almost a century now. You could have captured hk and china separately. They are very different in culture, mindset and in the very fabric of the countries itself. I like most of your videos but not this one.. Hong Kong is Hong Kong !

Thanks for sharing your views. Since we don't do independent annual bschool rankings, we've relied on the Financial Times ranking that clubs China and HK. We do understand that the two countries have distinct identities. We've written several articles on HK based schools. We hope you like those.

Assuming you are referring to GMAT MBA programs (and not EMBA), the average work experience in good bschools is around 5 years. You can take any specialisation you like, it doesn't need to be limited to what you've done earlier. If you were indeed referring to EMBA, we have a separate video on that on the channel.

We've added it there based on secondary research, but we haven't helped anyone for that program. So we don't know much about its market value. And more important than accreditation and rankings, you need to check how it fits into your list (considering costs, brand power, job opportunities etc)

Considering your unique qualification and career graph, admission officers would be curious to know why there's a mismatch between the age and experience. Depends on how convincingly you can explain the situation.

Hi Nitin, a few quick questions to understand the situation better. Can you share the reasons for the 2 gaps? What were your grades in Btech and MBA? What is the reason for going for a second MBA since you've recently completed one?
@nitintiwari70974 жыл бұрын
Sir, CGPA of my Btech is 8.52 and MBA is 6.87.There are many reason like after passing class 11th my city got changed to lucknow and i did't get admission in 12th then this year got wasted after this i went kanpur then again dropped,sometime health and more i can share where i can talk to you personally.The reason for second MBA for global exposure in life and abilities want to achieve to compete with world.
@MBACrystalBall4 жыл бұрын
Sounds like genuine reasons for the gap, and you did perform well in Btech. That should tell the admission officers that bad academics were not the reason. Since you've finally got back into the corporate world after a roller coaster ride, it might be prudent to stay there for a few years before considering another academic degree. We need to show consistency and commitment to balance out all that's happened earlier. Do you think you'd be willing to do that?

Having a job puts you in a comfortable situation compared to others who'd be struggling for a decent break. While the experience in IT will surely be counted, the challenge would be that you'd have to be patient for a few years as international MBA programs except several years of work experience. Do you have the patience to do that? If not, what are the other career options you can target?

People change their field all the time. You may get a question from the admissions team about why you made the switch after spending 4 years studying a different discipline. The other (this time standard) question that everyone gets is why you want an MBA. Do you have an answer for that?

Sir, I'm a 1st year student of BBA. I've plans to go for MBA after graduation. I'm aware of the huge competition that one face for getting admission in MBA programs in top schools in India. So I want to keep my options open and I'm prepared for applying in foreign universities as well. But I'm unaware of the procedures that need to be followed for getting admission. I've also not decided the country of choice. I don't have any great past acads( 10th and 12th marks is 79%) or co-curriculars. Sir it would be very helpful if you please help me out with info regarding selection of suitable university and its admission process.

All good international MBA programs will ask for several years of work experience. If you can't wait for that long, the other option is to consider degrees such as MiM that don't require experience. We have a separate video on that degree. or consider Indian CAT MBA programs.
