I study at HHL Graduate School of Management in Leipzig and I believe it has a much better reputation than Mannheim Business School. Also, Leipzig is a beautiful city with so much to see/do as opposed to Mannheim. The school was recently voted #1 in the world for Entrepreneurship and the MSc Management program is ranked #11 in Germany.

I think, if you're interested in doing an MBA in Germany, HHL should definitely be on your mind.

@batiatus

As per the B-School, anything over 650 is competitive. Specially for Indian IT people, I think it should be definitely above that with a good work ex.

@shivsu well case study is an important part in Mannheim application process. In fact it was the first time I was working on it so I really enjoyed it....required some hard work as well :)

Case studies are the most interesting part of the entire admission process and I am sure it would be a challenging task if you haven't worked earlier with any case studies. First of all, I am not sure what kind of case study you would be assigned, but for solving any case study it is important to read the entire case study multiple times. Make sure that you have got hold of everything that is mentioned in the case study. Next, search on internet, read the relevant books for getting the basic concepts clear. For eg. I had a marketing case study, so I used the marketing books to know the concepts and theories. Once you know the concepts, then put up your analysis. The program management would be more interested in how you approach the case study, what are your ideas like, if you have done proper research or not, etc. It is known fact that the applicants are working on case studies for the first time so the program management would not look for technicalities but just an overview of your analysis. It is always good to show your analysis with the help of diagrams, figures, stats, etc.

I was asked to answer the questions at the end of the case study. Therefore applied the analysis I did to answer them....
