Krishg Saysi am not experienced puy but the thing GMAT you wanna do MBA in abroad present Europe position is not good less job and USA is closing its outsourcing so its difficult to get job there. and next time CAT is based on your confidence.
you're probably right about the job situation abroad, but the thing is, if performance in B-school is good then Job is inevitable....and phoren B-schools offer opportunities more wide and diverse than what is available in India....
Hi everyone.
I'm Atul . I graduated as a mechanical engineering last year, 2011, and have been working at the Essar Jamnagar Refinery since.. I gave CAT 2010 and achieved a percentile score of 99.52 but failed to get calls from any iim. This was probably due to my acads.. My percentages in 10th, 12th and degree are 81, 79 and 64 respectively. I'm debating on whether to give cat this year or to wait another year and try next year with more work exp..
What do you suggest?
I am unable to comprehend how you failed to secure any calls with that profile??:shock::shock:
Please explain a bit further because if it is really so then it is lost cause to get into any iims for a lot of people passing out from universities such as UPTU where majority are near you graduation percentage and a similar acad profile!!
hi guys!
i need a suggestion ...............
my acads are 93.4%( 10th ), 91.75% ( 12th ), 79.30% ( B.Tech. EEE , passed out in 2011, topped my branch)...
i might well make it to sibm this year. However, i hv never attended any coachings. should i keep working and give cat another shot or join SIBM if i get selected???????
if u convert ur call...i would suggest go for it
my 2 friends dropped a year one with 98 percentile and one with 92 percentile but this year there scored got worse and could not make to those institutes in which they were earlier short listed
priyankabhakat9 SaysPlz tel me which among the following is the best AMITY, NDIM, NIILM-CMS, FORTUNE
among these fortune would be a good option
Hi Puys,
I have 4.4 yrs wrk exp in MNC IT firm.
I am technically sound, also no problem with me to continue in technical background as well.But as i see, the amount of progress a management guy does is faster than a techie in terms of money,positions etc.Also these days i have developed interest in learning mgmt subjects.
I want to pursue MBA but confused which path should i go for.
1. Should i go full time years MBA
2. Should i go for 1 yr Exec MBA
3. Should i go for 3 yrs part time MBA
Also i am an average guy when it come to acads.
Please provide some pointers.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Sam

Bhai you are losing hope only after one attempt at the cat. I would like to remind you ki bhagwan k ghar der hain andher nahi.
That is why, job toh jaisa chal raha hai waisa chalne do. Because do alag alag nav mein pair daal k chaloge toh paani mein hi giroge.
Jokes apart, make a decision, whether you want to do MBA or do you want to continue with your current job. Devote 100% to any one of this and don't give a shit about the other one. Then you will do much better.
I will personally advice you to go for CAT, do MBA and fly business class later rather than stuck at TCS and go economy class. Baaki final decision will only be yours.:cheers:

B.E.(Mechanical)-8.19 CGPA
Work ex- 39 months in BALCO-Vedanta .
I scored 93.92% in 2008 but didn't applied to any of the colleges as thought of getting some work ex and then go for mba. Finally this year I gave nearly all the big exams but didn't scored well in any of the exams, somehow managed to clear the cutoff for SIOM (symbiosis institute of operations mgmt) n attended the GD/PI.
My question is dat if I convert SIOM, should I join it or not.????

apradhan:your acads are good man and you have good amount of work ex....so whats the confusion ......ya siom cant be compared with sibm but cant be ignored.....in my view you should join it .....next year might not not get this opportunity also,people sometimes become greedy and stuuborn i want IIMs and top notch colleges and next year they land up nowhere....the main advantage you have is your work ex with good academics so go for it without any dilemma.....best of luck:)

hi..i am taking MARKETING as my specialization in MBA 2nd year..but i am thinking of dropping MARKETING RESEARCH frm my list of subjects..as i am not good with numbers and don't have much interest in it..so is it a good decision..plz help me?
Hello Puys!!
Came across the right thread at the right time!
Going through the most confusing phase of my life.. Would be an engg graduate in 2 months..screwed CAT this time.. faired decent in IIFT and SNAP .. So feel should give it another chance!
But I am in a dilemma that should I just take a drop and prepare or I should move out of my town, join somewhere and then prepare simultaneously..
I am a COmp Sci engg but have no intentions at all to join an IT firm..
i can try my hands on business analysis or some consultancy firm..
But then I think that those 4-5 months will be the most crucial one to prepare and i'll have to join anew job.so maybe i won't be that focused..
another option is joining some NGO..but i fear that it will change my career path completely...though it will just be part time but it's said that once u enter a field u end up being in the same..Another thing is Teach for India fellowship .. but it's of 2 yrs duration so am dubious whether to go for it or not..I also have option of ICICI fellowship..it's of 15 months..
You guys can see the level of confusion in me!!
I would like to seek for your opinion on choosing among--> Drop and appear CAT12/ Go for a job gain an exp of 1-2 yrs/ join NGO "get some real experience" and then go for CAT this year or a year or 2 later????
Plz consider my acads too..
10th- 79.2
12th-71
grad - 8.12 CGPA
extra curricular- Good!
P.S. Won't settle for an average or above average college!
Another thought is going for SAP certification course!
