The road less taken, can lead you to your dream B-school ! ! ! ! !
Now a days, the quality of education and placement opportunities provided by the IIMs attract every young talents’ eyes. The lucrative career after an MBA shines too glamorously to be avoided. So, the quest has begun to bell the CAT and grab a seat in IIMs and in very few other B-Schools. But, do you have a back up plan? Have you ever thought anything beyond the two digits CAT percentile?
The answer is here. Utilize your preparation and talent for an International MBA degree.
Â
The first factor is the gap between good talented aspirants and the existence of appropriate programs in India. Number of MBA aspirants is too high to be properly absorbed by the countable good B-Schools in India. There are approx. 200,000 Indian students battling it out for 1,400 seats. Now, while you have just 10 top B-schools in India to squeeze into, the global MBA arena offers you a huge choice of a hundred.
The second factor is global exposure. There’s a huge difference in reading about Germany and actually experiencing it. It’s the same with a Global MBA. With global faculty — including Nobel prize winners, senior advisors at world bodies like the UN and heads of global giants, global projects and global classmates, you gain quality exposure to global cultures, business practices and market realities. Invaluable credentials on your resume in times when businesses are steadily crossing borders.
The third factor is more career opportunities and higher remuneration. Global credentials will obviously lead you to the biggest global corporations. This translates into great career opportunities and rewards. Bigger than what you’ll ever realise staying back home.
The fourth factor, Admission Procedure. It’s different! A two-digit number controls your destiny or should we say your admission to a top B-school in India. Thankfully this is not the case with global B-schools. The admission committee would consider not just your GMAT score but also your academic record, work experience, professional achievements, aspirations, hobbies and maturity in judging your seat-worthiness. So if you score low in GMAT but rank high on personal and career-oriented dynamics, consider yourself in.
