r/MBAIndia

Hi, I am graduating this april from a low tier college and I did not attempt any MBA entrance exams due to unstable household, things have been getting bad for a while now and I really need to get out of my city, getting an admission in any top school sounds impossible to me rn, there’s one exam called ATMA, do I proceed with it? I am fine with colleges offering anything above 7-8 lpa the important thing for me is to get out from my city. I have location preference either Mumbai or Pune, only because they are far from my city so I would not have to travel back home often. Any advice will be much appreciated, ty for taking your time reading this.

Hello Folks !

Will avoid foreplay and directly come to the main subject.

1. 30Y, GEM.

2. M.Tech IITD

3. 5 Years of Workex

4. Industry - Semiconductors

5. Company - Wafer Fab Equipment Manufacturing

6. Current Role - Associate Manager (IC Role, equivalent to Tech Lead)

7. Current CTC 25-30LPA (Range due to ESPP Gains)

8. No intentions of moving abroad permanently. Can consider moving out for 4-5 Years and return back.

I feel like I am already riding on profile-based ceiling. No other company (in India) pays more than my current company given my profile.

I'm planning to pursue 1Yr MBA for leverage and profile pivot.

No intentions of applying for ISB.

1. Need guidance, does pursuing MBA makes sense RoI wise ?

2. Target Profile is Product Management and restricted to Big Tech space as current.

3. Shall I consider pivoting to Fin for more $$ ?

Need advise from people with actual insights, or alums or veterans.

Lets keep the discussion limited to above points.

I am starting with my SIP in Bangalore from tomorrow. I'm so fucking scared. haven't ever stepped into an office before. I know nothing. I haven't done a single thing mentioned in my resume. I feel so stupid. idk how I'll manage these 2 months. what to say, when to say, when not to say. when to listen, when to smile, when to breathe, Idk any fucking thing. please help

So I'm currently pursuing an english hons degree and I want to do an MBA. Now I know this might be a stupid question, but how would summer internships look for me? I want to get into finance and I want to know if I'll be able to get any finance role internships because I dont have a relevant degree? Also I have the option of doing a minor in commerce so would that increase my chances?

Basically, I am 30 years old (approx 6 years of experience) and now every job I apply for requires MBA degree in Finance. I took a short break from my career a few months ago due to burnout, and figured best option for me now is to do MBA on the side.

Regular MBA seems to be not an option for me because given my age, I doubt I'll be given preference over younger candidates. Questions/doubts that I have are;

1. Distance learning (obviously not nearly as good as regular) is not the worst decision I can make, right?

2. How is NMIMS for distance MBA? Little bit of research I did suggest it is better than IGNOU. Fees is not an issue for me.

Any sort of help is appreciated. Thank you!

Hey everyone! I recently got admitted into XIME Bangalore and I’m trying to make a final decision.

If you’re currently studying at XIME, an alumnus, or even someone who has converted it this year, I would really appreciate your honest insights.

How are the placements overall, and what average package can a serious student realistically expect? Is achieving 10+ LPA possible with consistent effort?

Also, how strict is the college in terms of attendance, classes, and assignment workload? Is the environment highly competitive?

How does XIME Bangalore compare to Christ Bangalore in terms of placements, exposure, and overall experience?

Any honest pros, cons, or things you wish you knew before joining would really help. I have to confirm my seat within 3 days, so your guidance would mean a lot. Thank you!

have the interview in 15 days if anyone could provide their pi transcript here, it'd be very helpful and also some additional tips?

question in DM

Hello everyone. I am a GEM(9/9/9). Currently working in a psu but job profile is very bad. It is a field job where I have to spend most of my time in scorching sun and even have to go to work on weekends. Have to reach by 8 am and stay till 7 pm. I just want to get out of this job at all costs. Planning to give CAT this year. I want this year to be my final attempt as my workex will be an issue after this(~3 yrs). Advice on what is the best way to start my prep. How to manage work with prep? Most important question, should I leave my job and prepare full time? I don't think I will get much time with my current job role.

Any genuine advice will be highly appreciated. Thank you.

I am getting mixed reviews for these colleges.

1. Nirma - Some seniors are saying placements are not good, some are saying that most stundets are getting placed between 10-13 lpa. I have also heard that there are very few offer above 10 lpa most are below 10 lpa.

2. LBSIM - Some seniors are saying average is around 8-9 lpa and compaies offering as low as 5 lpa are also coming in the campus.

3. BIMTECH - Seniors are saying placements are doing okay looking at the current market conditions and median package is around 10 lpa.

What should I choose? Can anybody provide more details to help me make a decision?

Hi,
For people who are sure of joining the SOIL institute for PGDM, let's make a group and connect? Ig it'll help in looking for accommodations together and in general, at the campus too.
And if there are current students reading this, kindly help us with nearby accommodations and maybe tell us about the campus life too.
Thanks :)
