MBA is a life changing option, I learnt in the due course of time. Yes, entering into the part 4, the last part of my Admissions Race. I have now got admitted into a top B-School though I am not sure if I will accept that offer. It is a very big investment for a normal person from Asia or other developing countries where the average salary is less than 2000 USD per month. Good Schools will get you good offers, average schools get you average offers. Reading back to the Season 1, you need to choose the group where you will be able to suit up. If your primary goal is all about getting an offer letter from a top company like Deloitte or BCG or others then the move should be very cautious. Yes, getting placed is more important because your mindset is too poor to get only an offer letter after MBA. If you consider taking up a risk of being an entrepreneur I would have rather appreciated your move and there is a value for your MBA and the alumni base. Most of the MBA Grads will get at least ...

My Part 2 of Seasoning MBA Applications begun with BIG THANKS and now my Part 3 of Seasoning MBA Applications beings with an Extra Large THANKS and apologies for the delay. This is a 4 part experience based information guide. The following are the 4 parts: Seasoning MBA Applications – Part 1 – Basics Seasoning MBA Applications – Part 2 – What they need? Seasoning MBA Applications – Part 3 – How they evaluate? Seasoning MBA Applications – Part 4 – Employability and Finance Post MBA I will describe the reason for the delay in the later part of my post. Evaluation is the most critical part of one's MBA application and one's judgment. You read it right, Individual Applicant's Application and Judgement of the Admissions Office(r) . I tried to attempt a DDoS ( :P ) in each and every location where I applied for or my bro applied for. Most of the schools use the rubric as the key methodology. A stern analysis was done when the admissions officer gave her decision over th...

My first BIG THANKS for all the readers of my previous post and their emails. Your encouragement and support has made be to write the continuation post in this very short turn around time. This is a 4 part experience based information guide. The following are the 4 parts: Seasoning MBA Applications – Part 1 – Basics Seasoning MBA Applications – Part 2 – What they need? Seasoning MBA Applications – Part 3 – How they evaluate? Seasoning MBA Applications – Part 4 – Employability and Finance Post MBA The level of difficulty of getting admitted is highly equal to that of the level of difficulty for a B-School to Accept or Reject your candidature. The Admissions Committee is equally responsible if they select a bad candidate for their program or reject a super-fine candidate. You could have noticed that there are loads of female administrators in the Admissions Committee of top B-Schools. [Note : Not performing any gender discrimination]. The ultimate reason for posting them into thi...

Oh! Yes, this segment is completely a new topic when comparing all my previous posts. Planned to complete in 4 Parts. Will see. :-) The following are the 4 parts: Seasoning MBA Applications - Part 1 - Basics Seasoning MBA Applications - Part 2 - What they need? Seasoning MBA Applications - Part 3 - How they evaluate? Seasoning MBA Applications - Part 4 - Employability and Finance Post MBA There is a strong reason for composing this post now. Yes, few might have been aware about of the reason whilst most of them wouldn't know the reason. It is the real time to confess on this stuff. I would like to pursue my full-time Master in Business Administration in a reputed institute. Reiterating, FULL-TIME . The goal was little bit budding within me since 2013 when there was a spoof content in some website defaming me. Left it uncared due to the vigorous other works including various Governmental and Inter-Governmental tasks. Added a fame to my thought, I discussed with...

The worst faced problem by any Foreigner visiting to India is the Communication. Getting a SIM card and the tedious activation process by the TRAI pulls back their interest in getting one. This is an interesting development, and probably a first for any country across the globe. Ministry of Tourism has planned this new initiative, that will help new tourists in India. Tourists landing in India on e-tourist visa would soon be getting a “gift kit” from Tourism Ministry which would consist of SIM card, among other things. “This will be gift from Tourism Ministry…it will be handed over to the tourists arriving in India on e-tourist visa,” a Tourism Ministry source said. The “gift” would consist of a SIM card which the tourists can use for making calls after they have recharged it. Besides, it would also consist of maps, booklets and CD with information about various tourists destinations, guidelines relating to dos and don’ts, details regarding whom to contact i...

Smoking Causes Cancer and Drinking is injurious to Regular Health and Sexual Life I am back after almost a month's time. There is no harm in the disclaimer statement above, because it has been clinically proved. I could smell people crazily guessing about my absence and this blog post. To clarify intensively, I am not a drunkard . There was a very interesting discussion about drinking beer between me and one of my socially drinking best friend. He was giving various satisfying points why one should drink. Though I wanted to share them in this post, before that I wanted to share something which was very interesting and the area which I made the research for more than 45 days to get an absolute clarity. From all, he was very strong that he should drink beer before having food or while having food but never after food. He was partially right in his statement. Yes, beer or any alcoholic drink during food is good. But before food, it is highly harmful. After the analysis and references ...

APJ Abdul Kalam (Avul Pakir Jainulabdeen Abdul Kalam) was a man of simplicity without any political interference. Recently passed away carrying the minds and hearts of many people. The psychology says that when we lose a person in the life, no one can immediately react by crying or roll on the floor for missing them. It will surely take minimum 36 hours to realize that we are going to miss them forever. Happened to meet him few times at various occasions. A very interesting person of a exceptional skill-set. On 28th July, 2015 I landed at New Delhi from my International Trip to London. I got the message from our Secretary that Dr. APJ Kalam passed away. Before the immigration was over, I called him to confirm if the news is true or a rumor like always. He attended the call at 1 AM and said it was a confirmed news. After visiting the location, secretary literally gave out few drops of tears and I didn't. He immediately coined me as if am exhibiting sectarianism. But really am never ...
