Have just completed my Graduation in B.com from Patna University. Now really confused on Career front as to what to chose from.. have discarded many options and now left with only one i.e. to go for higher education (M.B.A) not only because of family pressure.. but also this what I feel that i want to pursue.
I have give MAT exam this year.. nd have scored 90.43 percentile.
Could you please suggest that is my decision correct? because few days back i was confident about my decision.. but today when I met one of my cousins who has done his MBA from Amity University, Noida has not got any placement and the investment made was huge. Looking at the present scenario.. i do not feeling very positive about it.
Anubhav - Ur MAT percentile ain't good that means u need to put in lot of efforts for clearing MAT(MAT is supposedly a cakewalk exam) and much more for clearing CAT.. Plus what will u be doing while preparing for CAT/MAT??? In case u've nothing i would seriously suggest you to take up some job and prepare simultaneously..Also u've realised that plcmnts aren't good... My apologies in case i've hurt you.
I am working at Cognizant for the past 1 year.. Got 90 in CAT.. Applied for BIM,IMT,TAPMI and IFMR.. Got IMT-N finanace and rejected it.. Dint make it to BIM.. WL no 330 in TAPMI(chances are very less).. Made it to IFMR..
Should I take IFMR ?? I feel the fee is very high.. Avg is 7-7.5 they say.. I am interested in Finance and only going with Finance major wherever I join.. Is IFMR a good option ??
I have converted NMIMS Capital Markets and SCMHRD general MBA.
What I would like to know from you is..how good is SCMHRD MBA and would u recommend me trying for a better school next year..i am a 2010 passout with 1 yr exp and I have left my job already. Please suggest.
TIA
I feel both are good..former has better brand repute..Do take inputs from the people studying these courses...
My profile is : 10th : 86.4 12th : 87 Btech : 84.3 ( one of the top NITs) , mech. engg.
After graduation i worked in our family business ( manufacturing of rcc spun pipes) and simultaneously was preparing for CAT 11 . Have got admitted into NITIE ( PGDIM) ...
I want to enter into business( something of my own / expanding our family business) post mba after a few years of experience ( maybe) . Please tell me whether or not an MBA from nitie can help me in my desired goals... or should i give it another shot next year and try for iims .... another query in my mind is suppose i try next year, and still end up getting some other iims beside iim abcl , xl .. is it worth a try another year( considering i have a decent option this year??

NMIMS CAP Markets is a new course and super specialized so be very sure of joining such a course .. MBA is about a career so course has a huge value ..
I think pressure of joining an MBA course increases when you leave your job for the same , however i feel SCMHRD is a very good college , so you should go for it.. The other path of finding a job and then trying again is an option , but needs a lot of determination and self belief so if you have it , then try for next year
first things first: y r u so much into earning degrees..rather learn skillsets...i would simply say just decide wheter u want to be in CA/CS/ICWA role or u want to be MBA role..if u do convert IIMI simply join it..nothing better than that and once ur in IIMI u will get plenty of guidance on how to shape ur carreer from Professors, colleagues etc...
If u dont convert IIMI, first decide on ur career path - CA/CS/ICWA or MBA, then accordingly join a company which will take ur career in the right direction..
I must admit ur CV is something HRs would make a beeline for u...
thank u for ur advice...i agree tht earning degrees is nt wat is important...bt wen i was 18 i decided to do CA,CS n CWA only as all these r related to each othr nd nt MBA....at 23 aftr workng in corporate for 1.5 yrs i realised tht i can accelarate my career growth by doing MBA frm a gd colg....i am thinkng of CFA nd FRM bcoz...2 other CAs who cleared IIMK this yr inspite of scorng less than 95%ile suggested me tht it valued by the panelists taking the PI..thts d reason

I don't actually know about the placement scenario at the college mentioned . may be talking to present students or alumni may help .. But if its a new course then it would take time to attain market value
Yes 59.% may be a little problematic , as most b-schools ask for 60+ but having said that there are many b-schools such as IIMC , XLRI and many in 80-90%tile range which give more weightage to Percentile and GDPI ..
So try get around 90% tile , many good colleges which open doors for you
CFA has 3 levels and takes atleast span of 3-4 years for the best of the people to clear it ..
PS : Finance is much more than investment banking and IB front end profiles are typically given to top 5-6 colleges in India , ABCLXL and even FMS
Reccently i have been hearing about the growing popularity of CFA and its truce pact with AICTE which has opened up the vistas for Indian Students to pursue the course.
What is the difference between ICFAI's MIFA and CFA(US)? Is there a difference in its curriculum? Which one is more valuable??
I am doing my CA and CS now. I want to specialize in Finance line. Which course will be a good value addition for me? An MBA or CFA? I am really confused about what to do after i finish my CA.

CFA is a value addition to MBA Fin.. US CFA is better & has good repute..Most go for US CFA..In case u do well in MBA Fin and get placed in a good finance profile u mite not need a US CFA..

Go only for CFA ( US ). Nothing else ( read CFA by others ) is recognized by top banks/finance companies. Curriculum might be slightly same but the value addition, recognition and learning through CFA (US) is of utmost significance.
If you want to make a career in investment related profiles, there MBA is not mandatory for you. CFA coupled with your current profile can open relevant avenues for you. However, if you wish to go for other profiles, then MBA might provide you slightly more diverse set of opportunities.
Also, MBA will give you the managerial perspective of things as well rather than just the technical aspect which any certificate generally gives.
U can get into MBA Fin profile..Though investment banking job might be difficult.. NISM PGPSM course i guess is new..consult ppl studying these courses (there mite b a PG thread on this insti/course)...

yeah,thread is dere but i think seniors are not very much active on PG or may be they don't want to reply. actually i know that even if i got IIM a,b,c(just saying) i may not going to make it to investment banking because of the less marks in Graduation .thats why now i am focusing on building strong profile.
for MBA prep...
