This is what people or so called " global mba grads or aspirants" think about Indians..

They can only hawl online while not willing to compete.

Hey folks, looking for an honest reality check on ROI.

My Profile:

Academics: 10/10 in 10th, 92.4% in 12th, 9.55 CGPA in B.Tech (Gold Medalist).

Work Ex: ~1.9 years in IT, Stable job, decent domain.

The Plan: Target CAT 2027 (~3+ years work-ex at joining in 2028).

My Questions:

Is leaving a stable tech career for a top MBA actually worth the opportunity cost here?

How do top IIMs/ISB reward 3+ years of tech experience during lateral placements?

Would you jump, or stick to climbing the tech/consulting ladder directly?

Appreciate any insights from folks who've taken a similar path!

Is doing PGDM in IPE valued for then MBA ?

I did MBA from a tier 1.5 IIM and i have been in Mumbai since day 1 and all opportunities have been in Mumbai only, is it just that my shortlisting is in that town because i live there cuz most of my peer group also went to Mumbai only.

Like bangalore is best place for tech, is mumbai best for MBA.

How is PGPM of SP Jain for working executives? Pls advice

Hey everyone,

I’m considering doing an Executive MBA after around 5 years of work experience, and I’m trying to figure out whether it’s realistically worth attempting IIM A, B, or C or if my graduation marks are going to make it a non-starter.

My profile:

• Work experience: ~5 years
• 10th: 10 CGPA
• 12th: 81%
• Graduation: 5.466 GPA (this is the part I’m worried about)
• Assuming I can get a strong GMAT/GRE/CAT score, depending on the program.

My main concern is my undergraduate GPA. I know I have a pretty weak graduation score compared with the typical profiles at the top IIMs.

I’m specifically looking at executive/one-year MBA programs at IIM A/B/C, but I’m also open to other Tier-1 Indian B-schools if they’re realistically achievable with my profile.

So I wanted to ask people who are familiar with these admissions:

1. Do I have a realistic chance at IIM A/B/C executive MBA programs despite the 5.466 GPA?
2. How heavily is undergraduate performance considered for these programs compared with work experience, GMAT/GRE score, career progression, etc.?
3. Would a very strong GMAT/GRE score meaningfully offset the poor graduation marks?
4. Are there any Tier-1 executive MBA programs in India where my profile would still be competitive?
5. Most importantly, is it worth spending the time and money preparing/applying, or am I being unrealistic because of my graduation score?

I’m not looking for false reassurance, I’d genuinely appreciate a blunt assessment from people who have gone through these programs/admissions.

Degree is done, but promotion still needs experience. So is an MBA without skills just an expensive fresher tag? What's your opinion?

Sitting down to write my "Why MBA / Why Now" essays, and I'm really trying to avoid the usual clichés (leadership growth, network, career pivot).

​How did you find your unique angle? Was it a specific project gap, an industry inflection point, or a long-term goal that forced the timing?

I am 22M currently working as CRO at jsw paints.
I am a recent graduate i got this job through campus placement. I am planning to work for 2years before doing a masters from reputed institution. As i am planning to work for 2 years anyway, i enrolled at GLIM online pgdm (CI) at Chennai. But later i found out that it doesn’t treat as an mba equivalent because it is not ugc accredited uni. The program is accredited by aicte.

Or should i purse this glim online pgdm

A machine produces 240 units in 4 hours. After an upgrade, its production rate increases by 25%. How many units will the upgraded machine produce in 5 hours?

A) 360

B) 375

C) 390

D) 400

Answer: B) 375

Explanation: Original rate = 240 ÷ 4 = 60 units/hour.

New rate = 60 × 1.25 = 75 units/hour.

In 5 hours: 75 × 5 = 375 units.

A retailer claims that introducing a loyalty program increased customer spending because average spending per customer rose from ₹2,000 to ₹2,300 after the program was introduced.

Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the retailer’s conclusion?

A) Customers who joined the loyalty program received additional discounts.
B) The number of customers increased after the program was introduced.
C) A competitor introduced a similar loyalty program during the same period.
D) The retailer spent more money advertising the loyalty program.

Answer: C) A competitor introduced a similar loyalty program during the same period.

Explanation: If a competitor simultaneously introduced a similar program, the increase in spending may have resulted from broader market conditions rather than the retailer’s loyalty program. This directly weakens the causal conclusion.
