Hello,
Where can I get brief detail about how much will be the expense on MBA from different colleges. I mean where can I get the fees structure for various B Schools.(say top 100 B schools)
I have heard that FMS fees is quite low, Is that correct?
Since I am working with company(since 2 years), I need to get details about these too so that aim for such colleges
Thanks!!!

Best way out is to go the individual college's website and see the breakup for yourself,since the latest details(changed every year) would be updated there pronto.Ya,FMS has the highest ROI.
Hello All,
Can you please give me some URL or link where I can get knowledge all about financial jargons, like shares, stocks, bulls and bears etc.
I had searched on web about it, but didnt find some easy to understand stuff.
How is trading done? (I dont have exact knowledge)
People say that reading Finanical Newspaper like Economic Times will help, but without knowing Basic how can it work...
Can you please suggest something to understand all these things as I feel before getting into MBA, this pre knowledge will help a lot.
As I am intersted in these terms.
Thanks and looking for response!!!!

hey guys need help betwen ncfm modules and cfa?
Hi guys,
I have a total of 7 years of IT experience in Business Intelligence domain( related to datawarehousing for those of you who havent heard of it).
I dont really think IT excites me any more like it used to couple of years ago. On the other hand I am really interested in Equity, Portfolio management etc. So I am thinking that an Investment banking career will be ideal for me.
But I am too risk averse to quit my job and do a full time MBA, even for 1 year.
As my luck would have it, I have been offered a job at Credit Suisse, Singapore in the same role that I am currently doing.
I am hoping that I will be able to learn Investment Banking while I am still working in IT domain. May be I could do a part time MBA in Finance in Singapore(Maybe SP Jain, Singapore) and then shift into a financial departmen t internally.
Can you guys please advise as to what are the chances that I will achieve my goal of getting into I-Banking by this route? The advantages are that if I dont like I banking it is still no risk and I can continue in IT without undergoing the Huge expenses of MBA and the opportunity cost of staying out of work for a year.
Thanks in Advance!

Hi revHappy,
just 2 cents frm my side...u hav a terrific work ex and good profile...but just a note of caution while joining one year MBA..i.e try to choose the best instis in the business like ISB,IIMA PGPX etc coz these instis hav worked out their programs and tailor made then to suite the requirements and cater to the neccessities of the market..now a days there is a growing perception whether one year MBA is really worth what it has been promising or is it another concept that wrks well when market blossoms else just an another MBA. but as i said this is a growing perception...reality may be quite different...if you hav a chance to do an MBA full time from abroad thats the best bet...
a 2-3 year exp guy may think of quitting his job and doing MBA but 7+ odd i guess it may be risky...
my advice go to singapore get some quality wrk ex..apply fr exec programs....what i can see now is it is really unnecessary fr u to giv CAT and join IIMs as u are one step ahead frm your fellow aspirants who are mostly fresher and guys with
Interest in investment banking: This is a genuine query coz we never know what interests us what not...now i guess by now u might have heard about CFA...if u get schewser notes for CFA and just go threw them and if u seriously find interest in them then u may think of joining investment banking...by the way I-banking is no childs play coz the u need to compete with the smartest of the guys in the business and there will be terrific competion ,number crunching should be your sttrength ...so check with these things and if you find them OK then u can proceed...
Catch with som guys who are frm IIM-C,IIM-A where these I-banks flock just find with them what it takes to be there and what it takes to thrive in I-banking. I guess as you are frm IT u can actually check with SMEs of this I-bank accounts in your IT company...about real thing in I banking.....
all the best

dude,
like everyone has said, you've got immense work ex.
1. part time is no good.
2. i've been a full timer @ spjain's MBA Dubai | S'pore, and part time students arent really if i may call up to the mark. (part time mba's are best for institutes since they can make good money off them, and have no responsibility of placing the students.. total ripoff..)
3. S'pore has NUS, Nanyang and other cool universities that have much more to offer than SP Jain's part time course. Check them out please.
4. CFA. Period. If you can find out enough time for yourself to study roughly 3 hours a day, you're set to go. Give it a shot at least. Level 1 registration will offset you by about $1100 USD.
cheers.
NCFM modules are for beginners and those who need to start off with some basic certis.
CFA is much more advanced and requires much more sustained prep.
IMHO,better try out the beginner's module in NCFM first before you move on to CFA.Though,obviously you can go for CFA without even trying NCFM(depends a lot on your interests and educational background).
For NCFM modules,detailed info can be availed here:

Hi
its been 2.5 yrs now i have completed my MBA in Marketing (AICTE/AIU) from a renowned institute in Delhi... I have a total work exp of 3.5+ yrs, Recently was working for a BTL marketing consultancy now doing some freelancing stuff...
I need to explore career opportunities in terms of higher education which adds value to my current qualification. question I have -
1. should I go for an advanced diploma of 6 months etc or a degree/diploma course of 1-1.5 year (in marketing/advertising/event mgt) or whatever adds on to the current qualification. if yes, then which one???.. In India I need options for Delhi/NCR only plz.
2. Should I go for an international reputed 1 year degree course???? I don't mind moving out of India permanently, if yes, then which one???
The amount which I am willing to spend is not more than Rs. 4-5 lacs.
I would like to add more value to my CV in terms of the brand name and the learning....
The bottom line is to get a good job.
I would be thankful to get a positive response on the same soon...
Thanks
Game
P.S - Thanks to the mod Rohit for guiding me here.. Cheers!!!

Is CFA alone without MBA good enough to make breakthroughs into the world of IB? Or is MBA finance a must?
hi.... i am a trained teacher, and have 1 year experience in teaching. Actually it was due to some personal reasons that I had to go in for a teachers' training and start working. However i have always had the desire to do an MBA in Finance as the field interests me. I have decided to appear for CAT 2009. Do you think the fact that i am a teacher will make any difference? Also, will this 1 yr teaching experience be counted?
Thanks in advance.

As long as you have the payslips/relieving letter,your fulltime exp will be counted.No,it doesnt lower your chances in any way watsoever.Infact,you can try and leverage your exp to be seen in a different light.
thank you so much 😃

hi all....
i am back with another problem. And i hope all of you guys will help out.
I really want to go into the IIM`s and do my MBA , but I just wanted to ask you guys that .... All of us know about the recession and the way people working in private firms were kicked out....
Now my question is -
how does recession affect the MBA degree holders (where MBA is from a top B-school) ??? (I hope they aren`t kicked out!!)
and secondly.... does this give the Government jobs(like IAS) an upper hand ???
plz respond

This is funny, we all know times are bad but even before getting into IIM you are worried about being kicked out of your job? Well an MBA degree is up to you to take. Some need it and some just do not. So identify if you really need an MBA
Interestingly IIM- A has started with new elective course on crises management: IIM-A to introduce course on cost-cutting, cost management
So the big schools are already shaping according to the situation and trying to give as much as they can for grooming a student.
Being laid-off depends upon your performance and luck. If u really $%&^ at your work you are bound to be kicked out even if you are from an esteemed institute. I feel more than a tag IIM is an experience to be utilized, learn and materialize.
All the best with your prep.
