Hey everyone,
Pure science background (BSc — Botany, Zoology, Chemistry) se MBA ki taiyari kar raha hoon aur socha kuch log honge jinhe yeh useful lage. Yahan meri abhi tak ki journey share kar raha hoon — kya struggle rahi, kya galtiyan hui, aur kya actually helpful nikla.
Background:
Commerce ya engineering nahi hai mere paas, toh pehle toh yahi lagta tha ki MBA ke liye koi door nahi hai. But actually BSc wale bhi eligible hain — bas sahi exams aur sahi colleges dhundhne padte hain.
Galti #1 — Sirf CAT ke peeche bhagna
Bahut logo ne bola "CAT do, CAT do." But CAT ke top colleges mein competition alag level ka hai, aur pure science background se directly compete karna without any work experience — bahut mushkil. CUET-PG aur CMAT jaise exams exist karte hain jo government colleges ke liye equally valid hain aur competition relatively manageable hai.
Galti #2 — Engineering-oriented MBA programs mein apply karna
Maine pehle IIIT Allahabad ka MBA-IT explore kiya. Lagta tha government college + reputed name = perfect. But baad mein samajh aaya ki woh program engineering/IT background walo ke liye design hua hai — syllabus, placements, culture sab. BSc science walo ke liye fit nahi tha.
Jo actually helpful nikla — UP Govt Colleges via CUET-PG:
Yeh colleges BSc background ke liye genuinely accessible hain aur CUET-PG accept karte hain:
BHU-IMS (Varanasi) — sabse reputed, general MBA, CUET-PG se admission
BBAU Lucknow — central university, solid placement record
University of Lucknow — FMS — affordable, Lucknow mein hi hai
DDU Gorakhpur University — less competitive, good for backup
Bundelkhand University — another safe option
CUET-PG preparation ke baare mein:
Syllabus CAT jitna vast nahi hai — focused preparation karo
Quantitative Aptitude, Verbal Ability, Logical Reasoning — yeh core areas hain
Mock tests bohot zaroori hain, especially time management ke liye
Previous year papers freely available hain — unhe seriously lo
Kisi bhi BSc/BA wale ko jo MBA soch raha hai:
Engineering background nahi hai toh discouraged mat ho. Sahi exam, sahi college target karo. General MBA programs mein science background ko koi disadvantage nahi hai — actually analytical thinking ka plus point hota hai.
Feel free to ask anything — still in the process myself, but happy to share whatever I've figured out so far. 🙏
