Hi anjali

MBA is never too late for anyone. Many top business schools have the average age range from 29 to 33. Therefore, you should not need to worry about it.

Rather, if you want to get into a top business school, you would need to prepare hard, work hard. Getting into a top school will be challenging, getting a GMAT above 700 is difficult. However, if you try hard enough, there is always a way.

Good luck to you.

Kind regards,
Thomas

An MBA after a Degree in Law ostMBA career options
Hi ,
I am a graduate from the National University of Juridical Sciences, West Bengal, India, having graduated in 2006 and presently working in one of the top PSU’s of the Govt India as an in-house legal adviser.
The nature of my job currently involves documentation, advisory, arbitration and litigation matters with special emphasis on matters relating to "contracts". I would like to go for an MBA to give my career an edge , given the plethora of career choices it throws up.
I would like to get some clarity on few specific queries which i had in this regard,
1. Whats the value addition and ROI of MBA program for a law grad like me?
2.What kind of specialization for MBA would you suggest with my kind of background and which are schools in India & abroad offer such courses?
3. What kind of Job Profiles does the market offer and who are the potential employers?
Thanks,
Sudip

Hello,

I have finished my BCS and MCS from Pune through leading colleges. I secured a job as an Software Developer through campus. I love my job, I love coding for living. Although I started off late, I have been performing well and been working for 1 1/2 years now. Was looking at options to boost my career now. So came up with 2 options..

1. Immigrate to some other country and make more money.
2. Go for an MBA (Systems, MS-MIS.. suggest more here)

I do not know many people who have done MBA from foreign univs and made good out of their lives. Immigration obviously seems an easy way out.

Please suggest me, why would a MBA do me better? If so, how should I get started for it?

By reading the posts above, i get a very strong hint that many ppl out here are doing MBA or want to do MBA just for the heck of it.

@ sudip.paul and akkyy21


MBA is purely a degree that you pursue by choice. its not like higher primary education where u are forcefully made to study and you come to terms with what is being taught to you.
we cant sit here and suggest why u shld be doing your MBA.

Sudip, being a lawyer, you shld think hard if MBA is the right qualification for you. if you look around you will find so many ppl who have opted for MBA with a very definite plan in mind. maybe they want to be entrepreneurs, maybe they wanted to work in a particular sector, but they knew what they wanted to achieve. we cant tell you who your possible employers will be or why/how an MBA can be beneficial to you.

decide on what you want to be doing professionally, MBA shld just help you achieve that if at all needed. it shld not be the other way around, where you decide on MBA, and then try to see what you can do with the degree.

i am not able to clearly explain whats in my mind, but i hope you guys got the flow.

Yes you can do that if you are really sure you want an MBA and also if your really confident that you will get a seat in the college of your choice by working hard in the next 6 months. be advised that quitting your job can have it own -ve consequences. if you don't make it to a good college then you will have to enter the job scene again. and it can be a serious piss off.

no, that will be no problem. infact if you can put it clearly in the interviews, you can make it beneficial to you. it clearly shows your dedication and interest to pursue MBA.

Buddy, the bad news is that you can't exactly undo the damages, I mean you can't get back that year dropped. Though cheer up 'coz the good news is that not all is lost and your past would not have a lot of bearings on your future unless IIMB happens to be your dream college . So, start prepping for CAT without any further thoughts, and God willing you would more than make up for what you've lost. I generally suck at counselling and can't give you a verbose reply which will make you feel good. BTW, I doubt if anyone else can tell you any different.
