@harishgupta This is for you to decide. I would suggest take the onsite opportunity. Gain client facing skills and then go for GMAT. Your profile will look better with Onsite exposure.

Fellow puys,

The thing about work-ex is this :

Hi Guys

I am Prateek. I completed B.Tech from Maharaja Agrasen Institute of Technology (Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University), New Delhi in 2010 and since then working with HCL.

I am planning to do MBA. But first I have 2 questions.

1) Is there any cap on work-ex in most of the companies in India. I have heard that preference, in placements after the MBA degree, is given to people with work-ex of around 2 years. What happens when the work-ex goes more than that?

2) Does it really matter the brand and the name of the company in which you are working when it comes to admissions in the MBA colleges. I mean in the shortlisting stage or in the interviews or in the placements. I am currently working in HCL but I have offers from Sapient and Deloitte Consulting. Sapient is giving joining in Gurgaon, which is near to my hometown and Deloitte in Hyderabad. Which one should I prefer if the profile offered is same?

Looking forward for answers from Puys who are either currently pursuing MBA or completed their MBA.

Thanks in advance.

Guys, I'm in a mess.Firstly, lemme introduce myself.I was wrkin with TCS as a programmer for the past 3 years.I resigned on the 20th of this month .

@chandrakant.k said:

There are pros and cons for both.

As you said

1)Accenture has a brand name which comviva doesn't.

2) Working in a small company is lot better than working in big companies. The reason is in small companies you will be more exposed to the business and hence you have a better chance of learning.

3) I would always chose to work for Indian company than foriegn( I know Comviva is recently bought by sirm firm. But do not have much details) . Anyways, the package is more..

one of my junior also was in same dilemma and i have suggested him comviva and he is happy there now

my strong suggestion is to join Comviva as you will get to learn many things. But remember one thing work is not gonna be easy. So if you want aram work better choose accenture( though it is not sure) but you will have lot of work in comviva for sure.

@[457910:samir91] Yes, you can go ahead with an MBA post one year of experience.. You can target business development in real estate companies.. Or better still do an MBA in finance and join infrastructure companies - given that the sector is expected to recieve strong investments in the next few years. Hope that helps

Hi puys!

This looks like the right thread to post the BIG dilemma I'm in, and seek suggestions from the PG community.

Background :

I'm a EEE engineer. Passed out from engg college last year, and have been working with a reputed analytics firm in Bangalore for the past 1 year.

1 year at job has been great. Quite simply put, I've enjoyed my work thoroughly.

I've appeared for CAT 2 years in a row now, and have not been able to crack it.So I decided to focus my energies towards my job.

Lately, I've been bitten by the "MBA bug" again. After seeing loads of people preparing and going to some of the finest instituitions in India/abroad, I've started re-evaluating my options.

Problem :

The big confusion at hand, now, is whether I should continue with my job, or start preparing for CAT again?

I want to do one thing whole-heartedly, so the choice becomes even more crucial. If I choose to be in my job, I know that I'll not put in much effort towards CAT prep. If I choose CAT prep, I'll stop going the extra mile in my job (will stop all the extra certifications/skillsets I'm working towards).

Unable to make my mind for several days now, I finally sat one fine day and listed down pros and cons of both the options I have.

I present the analysis to you, with a humble request to give your suggestions.

Job

Pros:

1. More years in the job=>more development of skillset=>bigger opportunities when I switch jobs.

2.Analytics is being touted as "the next big thing" everywhere. There sure is going to be a high demand for analytics professionals in the near future.

3.Current job satisfaction is high.I love my job.

4.There is a lot to do and lot to learn in a small company(~1500 employees, just one office, and I'm a very pro-active, hungry to learn and do more kind of person). My first promotion is due in 6 months, with a close to 70% raise in my CTC.

5.Lots of opportunities to grow in a smaller company. Again, more opportunities=>more growth=>better future prospects(in terms of brand, money and work)

6.My company is a category-defining company. We are almost unique in our offerings.I might not get similar opportunities in other well-established industries.

Cons:

1. I have no satisfactory answer to the questions "What is your skill set? What do you specialize in?". Standard answers(like a lot of my buddies have) are - Java, Automobile engineering, Networking. I fear that I will have no skillset if, at all, the much-hyped Analytics fails to rise and grow as predicted.

2.Money will become a big factor in a couple of years. My compnay is not known to be a great paymaster.


The other side - MBA

Pros:

1.Increase in monetary compensation. Yes, money is very important to me.

2.Will have a more defined skillset.Will be able to make switches to more defined fields like consulting, finance, marketing.(the words"high flying" also come to my mind over here.)

3.As of today, I do not have any bright entrepreneurial ideas. MBA looks like a good, reliable staircase to the next floor.

4.As years pass by, returing back to school and studying might get increasingly difficult.

5.Shifting to a new domain after getting an MBA is easier now, that it will be some years down the line.

6.10 years down the line, I see myself as my senior manager - solving problems, satisfying customers and taking up a lot of responsibility. I believe MBA will fast-track my growth to this level.

Cons:

1. Expectations from my own self will increase(in terms of money and work).Right now, I'm in a great mindset - learn whatever comes your way. After an MBA, that might change to "I want more money and a higher position because I have an MBA degree".

2. Will miss out on being a part of Analytics, which as of now, promises a great future.


Apologies for the long post, but it's all because I'm in a serious head-bashing, nerve-racking dilemma.

I hope I could use the immense experience that all you puys at PG have, to make a decision.

Please advise.
@[316381:visionIIM-ACL], I see you quenching a lot of queries.Some help would be wonderful, buddy.

Puys Bank of America and Citibank are conducting interviews for international banking process. so does it mean it is for a kpo or bpo/voice process? is it advisable for an MBA Finance to get into such jobs? Do employers count this as relevant experience for finance profiles?

Had posted on other thread too but I see this thread relevant to my query too. Can I get some help in this regard? Thanks in advance.

hi,

i would like to inquire some information about the Capstonea securities limited , Pune.

i know its a research and trading firm similar to Futures First (or not, i am not sure).

it would be really helpful if someone from the firm or someone knowing about the firm could let me know certain details regarding the firm, as i have an interview lined up with the firm , for which i would have to go to Pune.

i am sorry to reiterate the fact that it is an urgent matter. so puys and pirls please help me know about the firm as i Googled it a lot but didnt find anything concrete.

cheers...

so will it Not create a bad impression during gdpi stage that candidate is a bca.?
what i personally think is doing a course with thorough prep n knowledge is better than a doing a popular course without good grades/knowledge..
also i wanted him to wrk fr atleast one yr before mba so a Bit.worried abt placemnts aftr bca..

1. No, it will not create a bad impression at GDPI stage.
2. If you get into good college, placements wont be an issue.
3. Working before MBA is always a good idea. You can go for it if you get a job that allows you to learn something practical.

Cheers!

thanx alot varun sir..
actually one more thing is bugging me that bca is considered a bit easier to bsc hnrs as former is a more professional.course nd latter is a theoratical one n considered tougher.

plz shed some.light on tHis too..:-)

can ny1 please provide an general opinion wid my kind of profile if i dnt get into MBA...then wat small course shoud i pursue to headstart a bright career..or ny specific field where i should search job??????

Buddy

To be true no course or certification can change things overnight! Instead of going for any course that is not in alignment with your current profile, i will suggest to focus on preparation of exams and try to score high so that you can fetch all the calls except from those few colleges that give high importance to acads. For such colleges, even short term course or certification wont help, so no need to bother for them a lot.

Best thing is to focus on other colleges except these 4-5 and convert their calls.

this query is from my bro who has jst completed 12th.
he is from pcm background but nw says that its boring acc to him so dnt want to continue in this field.His intrst is in computers ,so gave bca enterance of I.P.UNIVERSITY,DELhI n got a good rank of 250 .so hopefull of getting very good.college from I.P.
earlier he was focussed on bsc(computr hnrs) from DU but scored only 78% in 12th..so getting admission in top colleges is out of the picture but after subsequent lists may get in lower rated colleges of DU .
so he is really confused between DU(brand name) or almost top college of IP but its brand name is less..
I.T gUYS PLS SUGGEST abt prospects of job n higher edu aFtr both of them. thanx:)

Buddy

If MBA is what he wants to pursue, then BCA or B.Sc doesn't matter much as both of them dont get any brownie points anywhere. And brand name of graduation college just helps a bit in PI and not before that.

Decision at this stage should be based on 2 things then:
1. Where does his interest lies in case he is not able to get a good B-School at first shot.
2. Where can he find more time to prepare.

Reading the post, i think that interest lies in BCA so in my opinion he should go for it. Brand name of DU should not be put above personal interest of career else even brand name wont lead you anywhere.

Hope this helps. Feel free to shoot any further doubt.

Cheers
Varun

hello all... i dont knw if this is the right post for the question..
but i want to ask what kind of a response can i expect from the interviews or rather selection process of B-schools

Buddy

Your 12th marks are slight disadvantage when few colleges that give high weightage to academics shall evaluate your profile. Elsewhere, it shall not be a problem as well as wont be an issue in interviews as well.

So, need not worry much, score high and calls should be there.

hello all... i dont knw if this is the right post for the question..
but i want to ask what kind of a response can i expect from the interviews or rather selection process of B-schools

my acads-

10th- 83%

joind an IT company last year august and have only cmpleted training.. xpcting allocation in near future..

No significant extra curricular certis (atleast not a big bunch)

please share your views..
thanks in advance :):):)

Now coming to the query part:
1. What are the chances of higher education if I join PSU?

Very good chances

2. Should I consider working for RRBs (coz many says there is no growth prospect?)

If wish to go for higher studies, then i will suggest not to go for RRBs

3. My dream is to work for RBI/ ECGC /EXIM/ADB someday. (hope am not dreaming too big? ) What should be my steps to achieve it? I am ready to put in any amount of effort but am NOT ready to pass my life regretting that I could not pursue my passion just coz I was not focused.

You are not dreaming big. It's good you dream else how will you achieve the same. Dont bother about past a lot and remain focussed on your dream and build a path to achieve it. Nothing is impossible.

You can try giving a shot at CFA and/or MBA in finance from a reputed college. Also, there are seperate exams conducted by RBI, you can prepare for them as well.

You should try pursuing your dream for sure Keep up the spirit, dont lose confidence All shall happen good if you keep puttig sustained efforts. Efforts never go waste.

Maths is my weakness so thinking twice before appearing for CAT

No need to worry on this. With just 2 sections now, people can cleasr the cutoffs easily. Rest, some hard work and determination to succeed shall let you overcome this weakness. Do give a shot at CAT, dont leave it just because of quant weakness.

Cheers and All the best!

hi all,
have been visiting this forum for few weeks now. This is my first post here.
It will be bit long but please bear with me.
My profile:
ICSE(2005) : 83%
ISC(commerce) 2007: 93%
BBA(under CU) : 72% (2010)
Right from the HS days my passion was and is Economics.However, Since I dint have pure maths Could not take up Economics in Grads level under CU/JU. Coming from a middle class background( father due to retire by next year) could not afford to move to Delhi or bangalore to take up MSC although it is my dream to go for higher studies in Economics
Joined IFBI PGDBO program with lots of expectations on 2010 Nov, completed PGDBO on 2011 may and got placed in ICICI. Was promised an operations job but The job profile sucked, it was hardcore sales with no career prospects whatsoever. So quit the job after working there for 3 months. IFBI did not give me any certificate for PGDBO. Have been preparing for PSU banks exams and have appeared for few of them.(hope to get selected in any one of them)
Now coming to the query part:
1. What are the chances of higher education if I join PSU?
(No offence to anyone but I do not wish to continue in retail banks for long as it does not interest me..I will join it to support myself)
2. Should I consider working for RRBs (coz many says there is no growth prospect?)
3. My dream is to work for RBI/ ECGC /EXIM/ADB someday. (hope am not dreaming too big? ) What should be my steps to achieve it? I am ready to put in any amount of effort but am NOT ready to pass my life regretting that I could not pursue my passion just coz I was not focused. I have worked hard all these years to do well in acads, just don't want to be a failure.( as I am right now)
This is an earnest request to all my senior puys....Pls help me out with Your suggestions/advice as to how to take concrete steps towards achieving my goal...
standing at my wits end...Help!
P.S: Maths is my weakness so thinking twice before appearing for CAT

Hi,
I am a fresh mechanical engineering grad from BITS Pilani.During campus placements I got job offers from MUSigma and Praj Industries .The first was a BA profile and the second was a core mech profile.I think I am more intersted in the BA profile but I am from a non IT profile and my coding skills are non existent.Will that be a problem?Also wat kind of ppl find working at Musigma difficult?I am not talking abt der working hours.Dat is fine with me.
At Praj the pay is quite a bit more ,at least for the first year.But information abt work culture and growth in that company is very hard to come by.Can sum 1 shed sum light abt dat company?
I am from a lower middle class family and hv to pay back my education loan.Despite this I would like to work as an analyst since growth curve in this field is steeper .Wat skills make sum 1 fit or unfit for the analytics industry?And how much of atechnical expertise do u need to be succesful at it?
I will be grateful for any help that can be provided.

I have been working in IT industry since 5 years .... no technical knowledge is required for BA profile...if any required, then it will be taught at the company itself, from fresher nothing is expected.

In long run money in IT industry is same as mechanical industry, but the work in IT outsourcing industry is monotonous , people generally make money here by going to client locations (US,Europe etc) for few years in their initial part of career.

In future if u want to pursue MBA then I would suggest you to take non IT job as it will separate your profile from other thousands of candidates.
Competitions increases for seat in good Bschool for IIM (indian IT male) profiles.

Take a long term view before picking a job as you will have to work in that industry for many years to come by.

Rajpal Singh Says

I'm currently in Final Semester (B.Tech ECE).I have got 91%le in CAT11 and got admission in Nirma University(IMNU). I am confused about joining it as i want an Investment banking profile afterwards and there is no recruiter for it at Nirma . I don't have a job and will have to search for it.Should i go for a job and appear in CAT until i get into Ivy league B School or get into Nirma?

If your are genuinely interested in investment banking then in india ,colleges apart from IIM A,B,C ,XL,FMS dont offer investment banking profiles .Though they recruit from other top twenty colleges but majorily for back -end roles
This was your first try ,you can always try again if this is what you are genuinely inerested

PS: choice is yours

all comments are welcome
PLEASE HELP...thanks in advance

Though It is a personal opinion but many good colleges prefer people coming from NON-IT background as they add diversity to there batch, many work -ex ppl who apply for mba are from this category,otherwise job in the same trade in which you pursued your grad is a win -win situation :)

PS: I come from a IT background and did my grad in E

Yes you will be eligible to do mba from colleges you have mentioned

PS: These colleges come in the range of 97%ile++

Thanks for your response
1) i m open to MBA from any country
2) I know abt MC and its out of mu options already

I specifically require info abt GM and UN jobs

All I know is UN recruits people who have 3 years work ex. not sure abt post B-schools..

1.If you are looking for MBA outside say US then you could very well strike out GM from post MBA careers. Most of the international students are hired mostly for MC,IB roles as these firms are open to sponsor for the visas.
2.Salaries are well documented in the career reports of each college.
3.pretty structured career progress available on any MC firms website
4.Do read articles on why MC? life of MC in this forum or anywhere in the internet
5.Go through the article on Managementconsulted.com.Common word in MC--'up or out'

Hi , guys

Please help me out..

i am B.E (E&TC;)...passed out in 2011..i wanted to persue mba but couldnt manage in this year.......i dont have any job right now:|.....so which sector i choose for job so that it helped me in my MBA profile..also in which sector i get job as soon as possible ...i don't wanna waste my time now.
academic background :
10th - 76.4%
12th - 78.5%
B.E - 59.5%
no work experience...
desperately want help
all comments are welcome
PLEASE HELP...thanks in advance

i am really confused on this...

from last 3.5 years i am working on my family business but now i am looking for a job and leave the business.....

From last 1 month i am unsucessfull and getting all call center jobs.....

Recently got to know that no b school gonna take my 3.5 years as a work ex because our company is not registered in stock market....

So since now i have a gap of 3.5 years should i sit at home and prepare for CAT....because even if i get a job these 6 month wont make a impression any way......

what to do puys please help me out....i am a bcom grad

yes i am in a similar situation as u were two years before... got 95%ile in gate & hoping for some NIT, you were lucky to make it into brand IIT but at my score i would have to settle for NIT which hardly have any placement after mtech for electrical guys... all NIT have enviable btech placement but extremely pathetic mtech placement, so unlike IIT thr would not be that comfort of joining top notch company... so thats y i think after completing my mtech in power system i would go for MBA (power mangmnt) as that would fulfill two purpose:
1)mtech would satisfy my eager to learn more about my technical course and mba (power)from NTPI/ UPES will help me have a look at corporate world because i dont want to be stuck to academics right at the beginning..

2) with an NIT mtech degree i would have the flexibilty of joining any engg college throughout my life if at some point i dont like job world ...

this is my personal thought, would like to hear your suggestions though..

Dont look at M.Tech and MBA at the same time..MBA in power management seems too niche and I wonder if thats possible..All I know is there are few colleges in US which are Energy centric--Mccombs etc..

So if I were you I would work for an year or so and try to give GATE/CAT again.Dont try both at a time.

For the past few months I am really getting interested in working in RBI, I was wondering if after doing my MBA I would be eligible for a role in RBI.

I saw that RBI recruits from UBS Chandigarh... anyone can guide me on that?

hello ppl

Well i m in a big dilemma----really need some serious help...

PRofile - passed pharmacy in 2008--have 3 yrs work exp in an insurance mnc--as a medical underwriter...now gave all sorts of exams..for mgmt...unable to crack dem..last hope on cet...but paper was bad....at home...

dont wanna join insurance sector--what should i do....??

hii Friends!!

i am in last sem of ma BE (MECH)
got 4527 AIR in GATE 2012
passionate for MBA (CAT 2011 -83%ile)
desperate for second shot at CAT 12
currently i hv no job in my hand
so i have 2 options :

1)M tech from a decent NIT and preparing for PSUs simultaneously and if selected in PSUs; go for work EXP of 2-3 years and then go for MBA in 2015/2016.

2)go for Mtech and preparing simultaneously for CAT/XAT/SNAP for 2 years (during Mtech).


PUYS please help me here; i am at d cusp of deep dillema
suggestions/warnings welcome

So I see lots of people having the dilemma between M.tech and MBA.Here are my two cents.First I will give my background so that it would help understand what i say.
Graduated in 2009 from a good engineering college with 75%,had 2 job offers from software companies but none gave joining dates so started preparing for GATE(Had very high GRE score but couldnt get scholarship in any college,so GATE was the alternative,I didnt prepare for CAT,dont know why)
Got 99% in GATE 2010. I chose IIT Delhi just for the brand name.I did compromise on my course.Now I am about to graduate and have a good offer from Deloitte in IT consulting. I wish for work for 2-3 years before I get promoted to Consultant and then I will apply for B-Schools(US,Europe and ISB).

So what I would like to say is if you want to do your MBA abroad then an IIT Degree will be valuable.

But if your doing M.Tech then you will have very little chance to get into non-technical profiles as companies dont want M.Tech students.

Hope it helps.

Technical field is far different what you do in TCS..Its one personal choice..You need a good score in GATE to make it to a decent program.But I advise against doing M.Tech from any college other than top-10
