MBA can make sense at any level as long as it makes sense to you. Doing MBA or not is a very personal decision people take this decision to move ahead in life (fresher(s), experienced(s)).
As an individual I wanted to grow fast, I was facing lot of stagnation in my job and recognitions were not able to stop my hunger of growth. TINA (There is no alternative) factor for MBA was becoming prominent; I planned taking GMAT and with crucial project deadlines and all I could not get a sexy score for ISB.
I always had this in mind; that selecting a B-school is like selecting a new life, one has to be clear that what he or she wants to achieve in life and then think whether the college they are eyeing at is capable enough to bridge that gap.
What one should look while selecting a B-school; is that whether this School can actually add fuel to one’s dreams and desires nurture one by providing knowledge, so that one can protect them and ensures that he/she achieves them rather than making compromises. We just have one life, let’s live to the fullest and ensure it gets everything best.
There are two ways to mitigate that gap. Read up or Go back to School. Going Back to School seems a better option as one has to learn in the right fashion and understand the concepts and perspectives. If one wants to lead or manage then one needs to have all the right tools. Hence selection of B-School becomes very crucial.
I kept myself always occupied to find out is there any college that can help me getting wonderful knowledge and career ahead rather I was looking for BATNA( Better AlTernative Next Available)
Finally I applied for Great lakes, Chennai and got call from Mumbai Business School, a School that has been started with much bigger Mission and Vision; and run by same management.
This is a college that gets you world’s best faculties to teach you, best world’s best management gurus like Padmashree Dr. Bala Balachandran(Professor at Kellogg university, consultant to Indian government and to various countries around the world, man behind ISB,MDI Gurgaon, Great Lakes Chennai) , Prof. Jagdish Seth(Marketing Guru, Professor at Emory university, consultant to best firms in the world like GE, Square D and author to more 200 article), and many more legends standing in front of you and teaching. Chief mentor here is one and only Dr. Sunil Rai (Ex Joint-Director S.P.J.I.M.R, key contributor to its success today). This dream College has been made alive by one of India’s biggest entrepreneur Mr. A. Mahendran (Director Godrej).
The only B-school that is committed to fill all gaps, propel individual’s career and delight industry by giving them “Day one job ready, Domain focus, Role customized Manager” is “Mumbai Business School”. Only place to learn “next best practices”.
I feel this is one of the BEST B-School to study…. And with God’s grace I am at best place.

20Maverick,

Please elaborate about the pedagogy, faculty, teaching, experiences, weaknesses, co-currics and extra-currics in your subsequent posts. That will make this thread useful for the future aspirants. Also try to rope in your batch mates.

Hey,

this is Bhushan here, i am a part of the MBS first batch...

Well as far as the faculty in MBS is considered, we get Prof. from some of the best B-schools in india and abroad. Also the course structure is such that only the industry relevant things are taught. only the things that are in vogue. Also the curriculum is made in such a way that most of the classes are discussion based. most of the studies are done through case studies and presentation.

As far as the Domains are concerned, we have almost finished disecting major 21 sectors of the indian economy. students have already done selecting their sectors and role of interest. I, for instance, have selected the hospitality industry, looking for HRM and Operations. You can choose any industry or domain u want, ur course will be modelled that way, so lot of customisation and role-modelling is done to groom u for ur dream job.

Hi Carlito,

Could you explain more about the features of MBS?

Also it has been mentioned in the website that MBS has signed a collaboration agreement with PRMIA..........Please do elaborate on this....

Thanking you in advance.

Hey Prabhu,

MBS has a tie up with PRMIA wherein we will be havin PRMIA courses at our premises. These will be various programms on Risk Management, where in after givin 2 exams u will get a degree from PRMIA. So in a way we are academic partners with PRMIA, the only othe university to have such a tie up is ICMA, university of Reading. We are the second such institute in the world and first in India.

Hope ur querry is answered.

[prabhum]

Thanks Bhushan!!

I believe that if you study the program in ICMA, university of Reading you are exempt from taking the first two levels of the PRMIA certification.

Would students of MBS also be exempt from the first two levels (PRM Exams I and II)?

[Bhushan_V]

Yes. Students of MBS will take PGPRM, in ICMA there's a masters in financial risk mgmt, if u do tht program only then u get the excemption. similarly with MBS if ur doin the PGPRM program u'll be excempted.

[Bhushan_V]

In addition to my earlier feed, the PGPRM is a different course and not a part of the PGPM program. they have a different fee structure and curriculum.

[prabhum]

Is this PGPRM going to be a new course introduced in MBS?

I do not find any information about this on the website. Please do let me know as I am very much interested in Risk Management.

Thanks
