Personal Dilemma Related Queries

I have joined an IT company in January 2012, after 3 months of training I am currently on bench waiting for deployment in project.
I want to know that if this period will be counted as a work experience period, and one more thing is that what more can I do to build my profile.

By quantity yes it will be , but quality wise , you may need to conceal this later during your interviews :)

Hello puys,
I have a question in mind.Unlike most other CAT aspirants who have Corporate (private sector) experience,I am working in a Govt Bank as a Technical (IT) officer.I am a CAT 12 aspirant. I want to ask that when it comes to job experience,will my experience as a Govt.servant in a Bank count? I have a BE CSE degree. Or do the B-Schools ask for private sector experience only? Please friends answer.I am in a fix becoz of this confusion. I want to pursue MBA in either HR or operations.Please tell me whether my current job act as a negative point if in future I seek admission in any good B-School or at the time of placement?
Waiting for u to reply friends.

1) Yes your work ex will count , dont worry about the same ..

2)MBA typically is done for changing one's career domain , so dont worry it wont be counted as negative .. Concentrate on CAT 12 now . Atb :thumbsup:

Hi all,
Great to see a thread where people are helping each others on personal career related problems.

My profile-
B.E. (Hons) in EEE - 6.45 CGPA from BITS Pilani (graduating this June)
12th 94% CBSE
10th 96% CBSE
Other details: was the head of a fine arts club in college, worked with an online B2B travel company as an intern for 6 months,
.

I'got job offers from CFCL, kota as assistant manager after training (1 year) from campus placement and in the company where I did my internship as a web developer, the first one a core job and the second an IT job.

My dilemma is that neither of theses jobs are of my interest. If I cant find one of my choice by June end I'll be joining CFCL. I've always wanted to work after college and do an MBA abroad after 2-4 years from an Ivy League School with a scholarship (*dream*). I have done some finance related electives in college and they felt pretty interesting and the money would really help me and my family in the future. I was thinking of singing up for CFA if I'm gonna work in CFCL since I ll be having a lot of free time, plus if I clear levels 1 & 2, I can apply for finance related jobs (in India & abroad) after 2 years also. I want your valuable comments and guidance regarding my career path and options that I can pursue right now.

Hi Friends,

I have 2 converts GIM and SCMHRD-Infrastucure Management. Still waitlisted for 2. One result still awaited. Given the conditions i have to Choose either GIM or SCMHRD - IM as cann't wait for long.I am EEE engineer with L&T; exp of 18 months.I have done some analysis and they r as follows:-

Advantages with GIM
1. Can get any Specialization of choice(biggest factor)
2. Decent Placement History
3. 18 batches have already passed.
4. Best Institute of Goa/Better campus life being in goa i guess

Disadvantages:-
1. Decrease in Avg Placement of 2012.
2. Increase in annual intake.
3. Location
4. High Fees

Advantages with SCMHRD - IM
1. Brand name.
2. Less batch strength
3. Location Advantage
4. Impressive Companies list put on website.

Disadvantages with SCMHRD - IM
1. Trade(IM) has a very limited scope
2. Not even the first batch have passed out(I think the biggest factor)
3. Very High Fees
4. Placement report of 2012 have not been put

I am not able to decide as both seems on par. Please give me some suggestions.I have to take a big loan and have to do MBA this yr itself. Please help puys.I need help at the earliest.

goo with GIM, although it's avg has gone down it will provide you with choice of specialisation which is very essential factor, since u taking a loan GIM will b less costly.
Also IM of SCMHRD is a new course and very niche as well , if you Ur intrested in Infra Mgt then opt for it...
GIM will provide you with broad horizon..

I dont think it will make a difference going there , you are much better staying in delhi NCR better chances of getting employment here ..

Since you have already studied here for 1 year , complete ur MBA and try get a job .. 5-6 years down the line you can aim for an executive program if you need to improve your profile

Prepare for exams like Bank PO and other govt jobs .. Since they take a year to make a final call .. you will pass out by then ..

Few things to consider as suggested by a few friends i asked

1) 2 Years Gap will be difficult to Justify when sit for placements in 2014
2) Placement is not very lucrative , but i am not sure how it is in your present college
3)Location delhi still gives u the advantage , you should be able to find a job outside of college if not inside
4)You are going to use 1 year into what you have already done ..

So think about it .. If i were you i would very cautious in taking this step :)

PS: You can rather utilize your time to build your profile by some additional certifications which will help you make your profile more attractive

ATB :thumbsup:
Definitely aim for a job. Its always better to get a few years of work ex before you try for CAT. You have decent acads, hence you can easily get calls from IIMs later on.

All the best.

Hi there, I have done my BE in CS from MU, and working for last 1.5 years in TCS.

Like many others, I went through a period of self analysis and found that my core strength seems to be in Arts fields even though I graduated as a First Class Comp Engg.

Now, I'm wondering whether I should apply for an MA program? My interests include Psychology, Writing, Teaching etc.

Have any of you made such a switch successfully? What is your experience?

Hi Puys! .. I seriously need help!
My CV:-
Xth - 84.6%
XIIth - 77.4%
Btech(Civil) - 6.1 CGPA

P.S:- 1 Year Gap after XIIth and a year back in Btech(i.e 5 years for completion)
Presently:- Working for a Reputed Civil Construction Company as planning engineer.(Joined 1st august 2011)

Extra curricular activities:- Have performed quiet a number of times on stage on drums and guitar, but no supporting certificates for so.
Age -25 years

Now am pretty sure I want to change my line of work from civil and mba seems to be the best way to do that. Though mba is a good option i dont want to take a desperate step and take admissions into just any MBA college. Assuming that I get quiet a good percentile in CAT (somewhere around 99.5 or more) what else should I do to ensure a place at a good MBA college, or at least increase my chances into getting into one.
Plz help , I want to improve my chances into getting into a good MBA college but dont know how to do so.

I dont think you need to do anything in particular to get into a good MBA college. Just perform well in your written exams and GDPI and you should be in. Of course getting calls from institutes is a different thing altogether.

Now, I'm wondering whether I should apply for an MA program? My interests include Psychology, Writing, Teaching etc.

Have any of you made such a switch successfully? What is your experience?


Yes, you can go for MA program if it is there where your interest lies. People have made similar switches in past and have been successful.

Just do ensure that it is not your short term interest and is what you want to do in life in long run. :)

Since you have uncommon work experience, i will suggest to focus only on preparation and score high to get calls from top 15-20 B-Schools rather than divulging your attention to other things in the name of profile building.

People with core work ex like yours just need to score high to fetch calls and rest things shall fall in place if you have decent GDPI.

All the best!
