Hi, I want to pursue MBA next year or whenever I crack some good college exam. Since I am working , there is less time left for studies. So I just want to know how important is it to take coaching and in what way do they help? I have never taken any coaching before in my life as I have always believed in self studies. Please help me in making the decision. 1. How important coaching is? 2. The best coaching institute in Delhi? 3. How much do they usually charge? 4. Will weekend classes be same as weekday classes? 5. Last question, If I take GMAT coaching - can this be helpful in other exams as well like CAT, XAT, MAT etc?

Hey my 10th % is 59.4 , 12th 58.33 & Grad % is 43.7. Am I eligible for some good Colleges ? Am I eligible in US colleges ? Do I've slight chance to get into top 10 colleges ?

Hello ,

This post might sound funny to many of you; but believe me, I really mean this. I am 33 years old who has 9 years of work experience which spreads across multiple disciplines - BPO, Oil& Gas, Product Manager in a product company& IT Services(which I believe is something that stands out in my resume) 😉 . Now, if I go back and recollect my GPA, I have a 3 in 10th and 2 in 12th; better not to mention my graduation 😞

I have never thought that an MBA is this necessary to cruise in my career, but now I do understand the necessity of one in your resume. And, it doesn't mean that I need an MBA to cite in my resume, instead I need it to move up the ladder in my career and ofcourse for recognition among the employers. So, let me summarize what I need:

[*] I am in the IT Services& looking forward to move to Consulting/ FMCG, OR

[*] I am looking forward to move to a Sales role within IT Services, though I prefer the previous option over this.

[*] Be a key decision maker/ master strategist for an IT Services/ Product company.

Keeping the above in my mind, I am working towards:

[*] enrolling myself into a world class business school

[*] gaining 720+ in the GMAT, but I might be able to hardly get 700. That's the most I think I can get. :lol:

Now, what I appreciate from the consultant is:

[*] Am I late to do an executive MBA? I am married and have a one year old kid. 😛

[*] Do my GPA's pose a barrier for my carrier aspirations? Don't I even get a chance in world class biz schools even if I perform well in GMAT? If my GMAT score could change the fate, what should be a good GMAT score?

[*] Do you suggest me to go for an MBA in India or abroad? And why? Appreciate your response to these questions and looking forward to hearing from you.

Thanks,

Abhi.
