[2013-2015] SCIT Aspirants Queries and Discussions

MBA
101

Hey!


A thought has been bothering me since long and would like to seek an insight into it from the Admissions Team or any of the SCIT alumni.

I am an IT professional and will have almost 20 months of work-ex at the time of enrolling myself (optimistically assuming that I make it this year )

I want to know how different my life would be, professionally, after pursuing MBA from SCIT. By this, I mean comparison of career graphs after 'quitting a stable job + 2 years of MBA-ITBM from SCIT' and 'continued two more years of work-ex without any MBA degree' I am aware of the fact that an MBA degree does fetch one a more responsible role. But I have also seen people achieve the same, as much as a B-school pass-out has, minus the MBA tag.

I hope my query is not too abstract! Looking forward to a non-diplomatic justification...

Cheers!

If i choose to make payment through debit cards,what ddocuments do i need to submit to SCIT?????????
I can't find any information on the website,so i will be glad if any seniors or any fellows tell me about it.......

103

Can anybody throw some light on the placements scenario this year ?

I beleive it must be going on now.

TIA :)

@bosslb You do not need to submit any documents. You just have to make the payment through their gateway. Once, you have paid the application fees, you will receive an acknowledgement from SCIT.

Hi Meghna

Probably I will start off answering this and my friends would share their opinion too.

Let me tell you, many friends from my batch have similar experience with which they have joined SCIT. There are many reasons why students do MBA(With respect to IT):

1. Change in Role (Probably moving from a Technical Role to a Techno-Managerial role)
2. Increase in Pay.
3. Change in Specialization (Moving from a Systems Domain to an Information Security Domain)

First reason is served, for example you wont be going back to do software coding but probably would be doing a role of business analysis.

Second Reason is also served, but yes this should be the last thing which drives you to do an MBA 😃 !

Third Reason, Yes people do come in with software development experience and want to move into information security domain because that is what interests them now.

When you say you have seen people achieve the same, as much as a B-School Passout has without an MBA Tag, then probably you might be comparing it from a package point of view, it might be true in some cases. This is something which is unique to each person's capability. Again we are only comparing the Tangible Outcomes of doing an MBA, we are again not talking of how you grow as a person in terms of thinking and presenting yourself etc.

What and How much you gain from an MBA in IT Business Management all depends on what interests you to do an MBA in IT & what you want to be doing at the end of an MBA. And at the same time, what you learn throughout your MBA also matters.

Let me add a line here, Career graphs of two people without an MBA need not be same and at the same time Career graphs of two people with an MBA need not be same. It is very unique to individual based on his capabilities.

Hope my reply is not as abstract as the question and I've tried hard not to answer it diplomatically !

All The Best !

@srikanthm1987 i am expecting a score of 70 in SNAP. but i am very confused whether to apply at SCIT or not as i am a btech ee graduate. but doing mba is a compulsion for me this year. are the placement oppurtunities good here for a NON Computer student. please help me.......and give a straight answer. TIA
115
@smcetguy Hi,
We have people from varied backgrounds here.You definitely need to have an interest in IT.But Focus here is on managerial aspects of IT rather than technical aspects.So you need not worry about coding as such.You will have equal opportunities in all aspects be it placements or academics as compared to Computer science students.So you need worry.Hope this answers your query.
116
@srikanthm1987 but one thing more. do the companies which come for recruitment is equally intrested in Non computer students. what percentage of previous batch was of non computer students. have you presonally seen non computer students to get equally well packages and profiles? TIA
117

My profile is

10th=67
12th=75
Grad=64

Snap expecting 75-80

should i apply for SCIT? what are the chances...
118
@smcetguy Hi,
The companies who come for placements offer profiles as per the specializations offered here.We have 4 major specializations 1.Systems.2.Information security.3.IT Infrastucture and 4.Software Solutions management.So your engineering stream doesnt matter a great deal but your performance here and CGPA will matter.As long as you can satisfy the minimum criteria and maintain the required CGPA you have an equal and a good chance of getting placed.Even previous batch had people from various backgrounds who are doing well.I cannot give you the exact percentages as placement season is still on.It will be uploaded on the website once the placement season ends.But as far as i know your background doesnt matter what matters is your performance and hard work in SCIT.Hope this clears your concerns.!!

@venkatesh0690 Hi,
You have a decent profile.I cannot predict the cutoffs but you have a fair chance in converting if you get a good SNAP percentile and your GE-PI performance is good.All the best!!
