I think we r on the same boat....but plz dont compare the situation, may be u r in much pathetic situation than i m, Just i want to tell my past exp over here not to compare problems with any one...Best of Luck...hope a bright future is waiting for us....
i also didnt mean to compare.only shared my experience.maybe experience wise we are on the brighter side.I have learnt hardcore sales technique which i bet no bschool can teach. i had recently attended gd/pi @ christ college blore. there i was told i am overqualified.christ looks for people with max 2 years of experience.I had no such problem at gd/pi of NMIMS bore and KJ soumiya and both i have converted.but will be joining NMIMS blore.
i have secured admission in a b-school and my notice period with the present company is over.classes are going to start by july 2nd.in the meantime i am feeling restless. any suggestions what to do with may & june? can i get some part time job to keep myself busy.every single day is a big pain sitting idle.now to think of 60 days.kindly suggest me some alternative
There are loads of good threads on PG such as why marketing , finance or scm . consulting etc
Would suggest read up those threads and try gauge what kind of career you want to make post MBA .. where your interest lies.. you will be prepared for the road ahead ..
Well i have completed my BMS recently...I have a job with an audit firm (not any of the big four, bt no. 6 or 7). I have also converted NMIMS Core and am well in contention for JBIMS this year. But i am not sure whether i should do a MBA now. I am only 21. Any advice??
I have 3.5 years of experience in IT field. Now i am going for my MBA (I know it is bit late [IMG]http://www.pagalguy.net/pagalguy/smilies/icon_confused.gif[/IMG] ). I have converted Nitie and SJMSOM, Now i have some Qs.
1) Which college should i join? My heart is with Nitie (because of Brand name , huge alumni base and cool campus life [IMG]http://www.pagalguy.net/pagalguy/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif[/IMG]) but my mind suggesting SJMSOM (because of IIT brand, Small batch size (i have very ordinary profile [IMG]http://www.pagalguy.net/pagalguy/smilies/icon_neutral.gif[/IMG] ) and good infra).
2) I want to specialize in SCM/operations now, can also do with consultancy (fed up of IT) , But even my Btech was in CS . So my Qs here is: will i be able to get any good operations company in final placement ? (not sure because of my IT work ex and CS Btech degree). Can i switch streams after such long experience in IT ? and what should i do in this situation ?
@haripsgvj - U got to remember that u have a -ve in ur resume compared to others. Hence its a must to get a job first...get some decent job if not in IT then something else in order to erase the gap thing...simultaneously prepare for CAT and other exams..now that u have exp of taking CAT..take exams and apply to all major Institutes (i guess there will be only 1 exam next yr onwards).. Regarding the NGO thing..not many NGOs are good..and NGO exp is not considered good..Joining an IT job would help u in remaining in ur field in case u do not succeed in ur MBA quest
Looks like i am not alone puys and guys ! .....my not so good fairy tale like @uking description started way back in 2009.Passed my B.E in 2009,but had some supplementry subjects to be cleared:which meant i was not able to join masters at that time.i had a big dream of joining A good MBA college.Got placed in a medium sized Core company as sales engineer but never joined due to some Bond issues.i waited till august 2010 when i joined a kind of BPO with my gf.i was wandering here and there for some pass time courses but joined none .my gf joined that BPO so she forced me to join her there along with her.i joined happily.but jus working for 3 months she got bored there but i was enjoying working there....anyways she forced me to quit that job so we both did.Again idle for few months.she joined a good college in mumbai in 2011 where i was noteligible bcoz of my supple exams.In 2011 she started seeing her senior-her mentor as well and i was here in delhi,frying with time to struggle pass my B.E exams and worrying for my admissionGD/PI coz of her blow.At last i cleared my B.E last year only.meanwhile i got a call for M.tech from a mumbai college but my gf denied me for moving there(obviously she wanted to have fun there with him).Somehow i came to know about her and i was heat-broken.i stopped all contacts then and focussed for MBA.gave MAT and now i have got call from few colleges in delhi and bangalore itself.also having being selected in AUD delhi MBA.waiting for IP result on 8th may.though i have moved on but i still have painful feelings of wasting my 1 year coz of her. Also i am positive about being selected in DMRC as well so waiting for some relieving time soon.:grin: .My experience has taught me many truths of life and i want to share all of them with you: 1-Never compromise your career for any other(Specially a girl/parents also says so). 2-It is never too late to start your dream to realization. 3-No matter how good looking or smart you are(I can say i am not less than any goodlooking fellow on screen) ,gfs can find a better one always 4-Hard work always pays.
During last 3 year i have sat idle for 1 year straight(besides i did some really good motobike tours),had a BPO job,Had a Breakup after 4 years serious relationship,yeah also skipped Jamia MBA offer,Bharti vidyapeeth,M.tech as well just for a galz sake n desire , I sat helpless in almost every arena of my life during last few months,but now i can see i have not best but some fairly good opportunities with me.All you puys n guys be brave and you have the power to excel anytime. These are tested by me and believe me puys all above are true.

Talk to people in both the colleges, see the present position of their alums in Supply Chain/Operations industry in major companies and then decide. 😃
Nothing is more trustworthy proof to decide a college than current position of its alums in major companies that recruit for the profile you wish to go for. Rest, everything related to college is temporary indicator. 😃
　 will i be able to get any good operations company in final placement ? (not sure because of my IT work ex and CS Btech degree). Can i switch streams after such long experience in IT ? and what should i do in this situation ?
Yes, despite being from CS branch you can get into SCM/Ops profiles from both these colleges. Need not worry for that :thumbsup:
Also, you can switch back to IT Consulting after working for sometime in SCM industry if you wish to. 😃

Hello everybody! I am Amena Nasim. Completed my Btech in biotechnology stream in the year 2010 with a CGPA of 8.34. Worked as an intern in a biotech company for 6 months and then planned for MS Biotechnology program in US. Applied and got admit in University of Houston Clear lake. Got DFS scholarship, applied for visa and got my visa approved in October,2011. But due to some personal problems I did not go to US and hence, wasted time, money and career I have got good acads but even the job scene doesn't seem favorable to me as am from Biotechnology background. I am planning for MBA now..planning to write GMAT and CAT. I have got no work experience only 6 months internship and wasted 1 and half years of my life in this MS US thing 😞 I dont know what to do now..what next step to take! Totally depressed and confused!

Start from today buddy , forget what has happened ..
You have plenty of time to study for CAT/GMAT .. So start your preparation as soon as possible .. But to get through a good college in India 2 years gap assuming by next may you have a 2 years gap could be a negative so you have to defend it well. Else you can try for a job and continue with your preparation so that at-least you will have a back up to try again ..
Dont worry things will only improve from here , keep trying and have that self belief that you will keep trying no matter what :)
Ohk Ohk Ohk!!! So I am not alone in this world :biggrin:
Thanks for cheering me up with this amazing thread.
Scene1: I started working in this gr8 "brand" IT company 6 months back. Got into this high profile BFSI project from an US based Banking client. Wow, I was excited.
3 days later is salary day!!! A sincere guy in team with 2.5 yrs of work-ex is getting Rs. 4.77LPA. Bang!!!!
Now I am wondering, what am I doing!!!
Kill me but 3yrs down the lane I dont want to cut on my neccessities.
Scene2: One of the hardworking good friend gets 35%ile in CAT'12. He almost swallowed all the material and never scored less than 90%ile in mock tests. Now, I start not to believe in CAT. (call me mad )
Scene3: I wont take previlage to be a passout from Aira Gaira Natthu Gaira Management College. I want to be in India's Top 20.
Scene4: To be out of the crowd, I am open to appear in GMAT.
I can give 8-10 on weekends and another 10 on weekdays to prepare.
But but but, I lack that motivation. I dont have any group. I am wasting days by just reading news/articles on TOI website.

The thing is XLRI is expensive with 13.5 lakhs. I also have a terrible profile with what amounts to a gap of 3 years(since I am not taking part time work ex into account). No significant extracurricular.The question then is Will I get placed? Leaving a PSU job which while not a very good profile is still a certainty. My brother who is recently married will be funding his wife's MS degree which places an additional burden on my family.
Buddy
XLRI is a great college and you will get placed for sure. If not the top consulting firms, you will still bag a very decent job. Also, your record in XL for 2 years will also matter at the time of placements, so you can work on it as it is still in your hand. 😃 Also, you have good 10th and 12th marks, just grad marks wont keep you away from good jobs except few consulting offers ( that too only if you are not among top 10% in XL )
Also, instead of taking hit of 13lk on your family, take loan and pay it off after getting placed. You will easily get the loan being XL admit. :thumbsup:
I respect all the feelings and thoughts mentioned by you and salute you for being open enough to share them with us here ! Your XL convert wont go waste and the brand will help you in building a strong career as well as share things to help your family nurture even better. 😃
All the best buddy! :thumbsup:

This is the place to be when you lack in motivation and/or study group. I too didnt had any study group when i started off, registered in PG and got an amazing study group as well as people who are sources of continuous motivation.
You know all the things and are clear what you dont want to do or compromise. It forms the basis of achieving what we actually desire , so buckle up, start putting efforts in right direction, become active on Preparation related threads on PG, be the part of study group of your city here at PG and prepare well. All shall fall your way automatically, just keep up the self confidence and sustained efforts.

Bhai, i would suggest you to go for XL.Yaar many people sell their home to pay the fee for such colleges.U are getting the opportunity. Just grab it. XL abhi join kar loge to after 2 years u'l be the boss of the guy working in SBI at ur position if u join SBI now. Aur yaar don't see 13.5 lakhs as the fee, think of it as an investment in ur business(Your Mind). Sit in your room alone and silent and think with a clean mind that what do u want from your life NOW and 2 years later. I bet u'l not come to this thread again!!!
Done my Petroleum engineering + MBA(oil and gas amanagement) Dual degree....however feels like i am not satisfied with the MBA.
Got placed in Accenture at a decent post. Joining would be of AUGUST... so have approx 3 months time....
Avid interest in geopolitics, international business..not inclined towards technical side, but more towards commercial aspects, markets, IB (alrdy said), etc...Have a good English (Reading, writing and speaking)
Orthopedically handicapped, (it hasnt been a hurdle anywhere though), DAD is a govt servant and at a high post...he suggested me to JOIN ONGC, IOC etc... for JOB SECURITY...and for that I had to prepare for GATE. I also was ready but I lost interest 2 days back suddenly, knowing that Accenture is NOT A PHYSICALLY demanding job..and the growth is good. So I don't wish to prepare for GATE anymore.
But i REALLY WANT TO UTILISE THIS TIME FOR SOMETHING MORE. Please throw some light and suggest....
I am an AMBITIOUS fellow...and want to win over my physical limitation, as I have always done. Please Suggest.
.my gf joined that BPO so she forced me to join her there along with her.i joined happily.but jus working for 3 months she got bored there but i was enjoying working there....anyways she forced me to quit that job so we both did.Again idle for few months.she joined a good college in mumbai in 2011 where i was noteligible bcoz of my supple exams.In 2011 she started seeing her senior-her mentor as well and i was here in delhi,frying with time to struggle pass my B.E exams and worrying for my admissionGD/PI coz of her blow.At last i cleared my B.E last year only.meanwhile i got a call for M.tech from a mumbai college but my gf denied me for moving there(obviously she wanted to have fun there with him).Somehow i came to know about her and i was heat-broken.i stopped all contacts then and focussed for MBA.gave MAT and now i have got call from few colleges in delhi and bangalore itself.also having being selected in AUD delhi MBA.waiting for IP result on 8th may.though i have moved on but i still have painful feelings of wasting my 1 year coz of her.

I have got good acads but even the job scene doesn't seem favorable to me as am from Biotechnology background. I am planning for MBA now..planning to write GMAT and CAT.
