I strongly believe that the MBA program is self-driven. While the program may have lots to offer in terms of peer learning, live projects, summer internship programs, cross -functional exposure and  deeper functional understanding, much depends on the individual undertaking the program.

Learning in an MBA
course is much more practice-oriented with case based teaching, in class
discussions, role plays, videos, simulations and projects etc., it happens both
inside and outside the classroom. Students essentially work in teams on group
assignments and hence learn a lot through each other too.  The summer internship is a very unique and
enriching component of the program wherein students go and intern with
organizations to see how the various concepts and theories apply in the real
world. I feel summer internship is an inflection point in the life of an MBA,
from where he/she starts to get greater clarity as to what the market is all
about, the learning starts to get much more experiential and rich.

Attitude and
approach count a lot in the pursuit of such a vocational degree and this is
what the hiring organizations also look for in a potential recruit. A sense of
purpose, clarity of thoughts, perseverance amidst stress and failure, passion
and energy, competitive spirit and the ability to push yourself really counts
throughout the program. If done with the right attitude and zeal, the program
has opportunities galore and can serve as a launch-pad for people aspiring for
careers in the management field. An MBA program has broad applicability – all
sorts of businesses need management, be it entrepreneurial ventures or
established businesses.
