@whizZdumb Hey, stop laughing and please share your profile. And I totally agree that MBA is an escape route degree.

UG: 7.7, NIT
EC: Moderate (Professional Motor-sporting, Few Social Service initiative, Couple of Patents & paper titles, Speaker at SAE World Congress'12 & few other global research platforms etc etc)
@ankyrules How you are sure that a failure in a history will not repeat itself. I mean how many firms listed on Sensex IPO stays their for more than 5 years is something to be noted.
My take is once you fail you are wiser and clearly know what your strengths are and what your weaknesses are......MBA is a way to polish your weaknesses....and mind you its not the "only" way.
And as they say Committing mistake once is good and committing same mistake again is Stupid.
So if you cant really learn from your first mistake you shouldn't be an entrepreneur..may you are in wrong profession.
@raghupro ISB should select you. Let me pray that by tomorrow morning your inbox will have the most awaited email.ATBWhat is your plan B if not ISB?
Thanks mate. I do wish for the same.
Some strange things have been happening this month already. I got a good offer just two days ago and I asked them for time until Feb end to decide upon it. If not ISB then I will be going for that offer.
Frankly the offer I got right now is what I would like to do 5 to 6 years after ISB and it is kinda dream offer but the only thing stopping me right now is confidence. I am not sure if I am capable enough to take it up right now.
@raghuproHi Raghu,Must say you are really helping out ppl here.have you received a call already and if gone thru i.w, can you share your experience?Thanks
My friend Bhaskar Ram consolidate the interview experience of three R2 applicants who had their interview here in Hyderabad today. Hope this helps guys.
Candidate 1:
got the word FORMAL
Run us through your resume? More discussion about the Job responsibilities What have you learnt in 4 years from your job? Tell us about your achievement at IBM When you like your current job then why you want to venture into photography? Why do you need an MBA to pursue your venture? Why did you wait 4 years to plan for your venture? More discussion about the venture These days more people have smart phones then why do you think that they need separate photographer to take kids pictures? How did you progress in your career? Any questions for us?
Candidate 2:
got the word FACADE
Are you prepared for the interview? Which question do you think if we ask, then you will kill it? Ok then Why ISB? What kind of Consulting you want to pursue? What CA does and who are the competitors for CA and why will customers buy from CA? Tell us a Joke (as he mentioned that his EC is comedy) What are your 3 strengths? If Chris Gayle is batting and need to score 45 runs in 4 overs and you have to bowl 2 overs from those how will you set the fielding for him? (Asif mentioned that he is a clever bowler in his EC) Any questions for us?
Candidate 3:
got the word FACADE
Please explain about the process you have set up (from his Essay)? Do you think you have extracted everything from your job at TCS? What are the target industries you want to go? Did you take any initiative at TCS? You are into IT development, Sales and can move to marketing later before pursuing your goal to be an Entrepreneur. why do you need an MBA for that? We are not convinced that you need an MBA for that, please explain?
