+4 years exp is a good and it will never be a negative point. Though, the school PI folks will ask you why not Executive MBA etc. :)

Are you seriously asking this question? Since when was 4 years work experience so substantial? Lol.

Lol how can he do an executive MBA if hes not an executive? I highly doubt he's at executive level after 3-4 years work experience, otherwise he wouldn't be contemplating of going to a third rate school he has an offer from.

Does the course have a track record? If not, I would steer clear of any of these 1 year PG Diploma programmes in India as recruiters seem to only recognise the standard 2 year PGPM's.
@gaurav23march said:5 Years not for All ISB Hyderabad,SP Jain etc
yup..some req 6-7 yrs also..but majority is 5 yrs...
@lopamudra0303 said:yup..some req 6-7 yrs also..but majority is 5 yrs...
Ah, it looks like the PGPX programmes are Executive MBA's. Didn't realise.
@ashmole2009 said:Can I just clarify, only the ISB MBA and PGPM programmes are MBA programmes in India. The PGPM programmes are essentially pre-experience masters and are in no way shape and form an MBA (whole point of an MBA is people with substantial work experience from diverse backgrounds can bring in perspectives to discussions that freshers/run off the mill IT guys with 2-3 years work experience cannot).
Buddy
Go slow at ourightly rejecting others opinions and discarding MBA from a huge set of colleges in India.
We understand that you have your own view but you should also understand that others have their view too. Respect everyone's view and participate in healthy discussions.
Do not demean others, their aspirations and numerous B-Schools in the process of expressing your view.
Have gone through majority of posts and was hence forced to respond.
Looking forward to more sane participation and hope you take this positively.
Thanks.

Exactly the same thing I wanted to say... His words are so demeaning especially 'I highly doubt he's at executive level after 3-4 years work experience, otherwise he wouldn't be contemplating of going to a third rate school he has an offer from.'... I wanted to reply for that but then, I am one of the 'failed persons' he is referring to-as of now, so could not comment any...
@ashmole2009 Bro, you sculpted your career so very nicely, working as Analyst in Deutsche Bank.. You studied economics, everything falls in place for you...A well thought out process...Cool, hats off for that...Maybe you are blessed with highly educated parents/friends/family members who would have guided you even when you were studying 12th...Not all are blessed like that!!! Respect other's feelings...This forum is to guide others in a very friendly manner.. If you could not help "without demeaning others", pls step aside.. There are so many number of good hearted puys out here to bring others up...I am sorry if you feel my words are harsh...

@vision - I'll accept some of my sentences/posts could be taken as harsh/offensive.
I just think there are far too many people in India who don't do any research (internet is not expensive in India anymore) and join the bandwagon. I am not saying everyone can get a job in their desired/related field post undergrad, but I definitely think a few more people (on this website) can but instead choose to join the bandwagon and follow others path blindly (who knows if these "seniors", a word I've come to love from trawling this website :), thoroughly researched in the first place).
To be honest I've come from fairly humble beginnings, but what's stood me in stead till now is I think independently and take everyones advice with a pinch of salt. I knew you needed both soft and hard skills in banking (a quick google will tell you this straight from the mouth of employers..), and economics is a good way to develop these with its dual focus on essays and modelling.
As a caveat to everything I've probably ever said on this website - yes if you have no other options (i.e. poor GMAT/CAT/too expensive to study abroad) then go for the option you have as you always find superstars(!) in every corner of the world.
I also suppose I play devils advocate in most of my posts as I tend to find the majority of the posters (excluding Baracardispirit and others) give the same (polite?) advice
@gaurav21 said:

I apologise if my previous posts were rude.
You should not join SIOM. As I've earlier said you can give CAT a shot again if you want, and also sit the GMAT simultaneously. If you get a good score in either, go for the Indian college or MBA abroad after working for a few more years (all schools abroad take GMAT scores that are 3 years old if not 5).
If the options above don't work stick to engineering (clearly Siemens must like you as you've been working there for 3 years...) and do a Masters in Engineering abroad (dearth of engineers in certain parts of the world). You can always do an (E)MBA later on when you have some solid managerial experience under your belt.
Pain is Gain. Grass is always greener on the other side.

Hi Puys!
Profile-
10th-88%
12th-84%
BE-66%(EEE)-2009 Passout
I joined TCS in March 2010,just completed 3 years.I have fed up with my current Job.
I am from Eletrical and doing that coding stuff from last 3 years and dealing with that patty Politics all around in my Team.
I wrote only XAT and got only 60%ile
(No Preparation at all)
(No Preparation at all)I was not serious about MBA,but now i seriously want to prepare and CAT and want to join a top B-School,but with my current job it is not at all possible for me.I want to quit my job and want to work for an NGO to build my Profile as my extra curricular is almost Nill.
Please guide me will this break of 9 month if i join any college next year will affect my interview.I also have 8 months break before joining TCS (coz my joining was late)
Also guide me how can i build my profile if i want to join Marketing/HR. I want to utilize the best of these 9 months?
@TCAish Hi Arun, leaving job to prepare for MBA exam is not a solution. In the due course of time if you don't get your desired bschool next year, you'll have to sit for one whole year again. Joining an NGO just for the sake of building your profile is and will be a pure waste of your time. If you love social work, do it in the weekends. You don't need to leave your job to join an NGO just to put it in your CV.
Continue the work. Meanwhile get hold of a few good books, clear your fundamentals first and opt for a coaching centre. Take one or two full test series. At the same time concentrate more on practicing.
And iff you are hellbent on leaving your job, Join a crash course from any of the coaching institutes. Getting a good bschool means you need to score a handsome percentile and reaching there from your last year performance will take a lot of hard work, practice and perseverance.
And write all the MBA exams.
Regarding your late joining, it is not an issue.

Work Ex- Siemens, 32 months (as on today)3. Season-2012 CAT 89%le, XAT-91%le, SNAP-88%le, CMAT- anticipated. Only convert- SIOM.So now i have 2 plans.Plan A- Join SIOM, use my ' RELEVANT' work ex., get MBA, live peacefully.Seems like a kewl idea, but somewhere inside, i have a feeling i should give another try.Hence, Plan B- Give another try at CAT,XAT and convert a biggie.....Now comes the dilemma.Today i am having a work ex of 32 months.Lets assume that i get into a top college next year. By the time i go for a full time xourse, the experience will be almost 48 months.So my sincere request to seniors to guide me and give frank opinion.1. After working for 4 years, is it advisable to go for a full time MBA2. How much counter productive can such a huge workex be seenYour reply will have some effect on the decision that i take.
Aaj woh hua..jo pahele kabhi nahi hua...
add one more thing to that dilemma...
MARRIAGE.....
