Well ..kind of similar reasons from my side too..
1)I'm looking for a role change, but nothing drastic like switching to i-banking or anything like that.. And I know people who have done role changes into business analysts or more functionally oriented roles during / after this course..
2) I have almost 3yrs of workexp now.. Even if I repeat CAT and get into I/K/L next time, it might not be beneficial in the long run considering that I'm not looking for a drastic change in stream..
3) By the time I finish the course , I'll be having 5+ yrs experience in Oracle plus an IIMB degree .. Even though it is part time, I have a feeling that it might help me better than MBA from non-IIM institutes.:satisfie:
4) Courses, professors, facilities etc are almost same as PGP..Only thing lacking is placements..But I feel I can market myself.
5)This thought about repeating CAT..I did think about that a bit..But then,its too unpredictable.. Except A,C all other IIMs giv out calls based on lot of criteria other than CAT-score.. I know a guy who got B,L calls with overall percentile, sectional percentiles, 10th , 12th , workexp less than me...except for the B-tech score :neutral::neutral::neutral:.. Specifically, IIMB has given lot of weightage to B-tech score( mine is just 74 % ) .. Unless I score something like 99.9 and all , IIMB PGP is out of my bounds... So, even if I write again,it'll be like fighting for the 400 odd seats at IIMA and IIMC combined..
6) I feel I've missed out on lots of life by running behind CAT over the last 2-3 years.. Enough of that..:neutral:
7)I like the current project that I'm working on..( Though I dont do much

) .. Its something offering great opportunities

Last but not the least,I'll be having salary here during the course
---- Letme repeat what I put in an earlier post..We might find it difficult to get our 'first break'.. but then, atleast in the long run,IIMB brand should help..

The foundation that u will gain at IIM B will get only help u get there with/wihout ur present company .
b) such kind of profs and curriculum you will not get anywhere else for sure
c) most of the 1st year students i have spoken to are happy with their decision but worry about the rigour of the course and that shud be our only cause of worry whether we r gng to be a ble to handle it with work or not
d) just to play devils advocate even if the three points do not work wat are the other colleges u might place above this course?????/ I have a JB GD PI this coming monday and i may nt even appear for it ...simply because i consider this course far better..then agian which colleges will u place above this course IIM A/B/C Full time ??? thats all i guess??? Are u ready to wait for another year appear for CAT and the u never knw whether u will get the call even after that .....
simple this is my thought process , i hope it helps...
