Need some guidance
I have 3 years of experience in oil and gas sector (upstream). Most of it is white collar with little field experience. I want to do MBA from some recognized institute. It is not hard and fast that I wanna do MBA in oil and gas sector only but I don't want to make my experience worthless.
I did BE mechanical with first class before joining oil and gas field. My experience includes international work experience and I am confident of scoring high in CAT/GMAT. Please guide me which B schools and most importantly what specializations shall I opt for? Explaining why MBA after 3 years in oil and gas appears to be a headache to me...:(

ah! an engineer is a graduate student. right. but, i am talking about bcom, bms, and other degree people(ca etc etec). people mentioned in d book were all ENGINEERS... A to Z.

Hi,

I am a B.Tech Mechanical. Passout in 2011 itself....
Although i got through some reputed companies during my campus placements...
I decided to join a very small start up(FMCG) in my home town, so that i get more time to prepare for CAT 2011 which was my main aim since college.

Will working in this small start up ( a pvt. ltd. firm) , be a disadvantage for me during my interview (if i get calls)??Should i say good bye to my dreams of getting into iims because of this??

Seniors, are there any friends in your college, who had done the same (i.e. working in a start up and converted eventually)..please

As read in the book " the best of all i wanted to speak about CAT", all are engineers... can't a graduate student get into IIM? is it so difficult that u need higher qualification only and also a work-experience? i'm quite worried and depressed after reading that.

Hey...just got placed in Infosys & Accenture ( currently in the 4th year..BTech ECE). The placement season is in full swing and we have Capital IQ that will be visiting our campus on the 28th September.

The dilemma is :
1. The job profile being offered is : Software Testing ( Technology Quality Analyst); 4.2lpa; Gurgaon.
Now is this testing profile better than the one we'll get in infy or accenture ?

2. I will be giving MBA exams this year; but in any case, if I dnt make it thru the top colleges, a job will be my only option in hand; and I'll try for MBA in the subsequent years.
Now, will a testing profile in "S&P; backed Capital IQ" be of any help in the long run..I mean does a testing profile or a s/w developer profile have any effect on our future as MBAs ?

3. Capital IQ will place us in Gurgaon (m a Delhi ite)..and Infy or Accenture is gonna throw is smwhere down south with smthng about 3.5lpa (<4.2lpa in NCR by CIQ).

Should I prefer CIQ over Accenture or Infosys ?


P.S If placed in CIQ, I'll have to join CIQ & only CIQ--- our TPO's clause !
M new to PG...sorry if u find my posts in the wrong threads :D

Thanks a lot azhar. I would also like to know later point of time if I want to move to development then can I move or I have to stuck with Support work?

Some of my friends are working there currently . Work culture is very good . They told me that they are learning a lot of new things . Salary is good too . Being a night job , its a little hectic .

1. It would suffice at the time of joining in most of the colleges. However, you need to submit your relieving letter/work ex certificate at the letter stage. There are few colleges which will require you to submit the relieving letter at the time of joining itself.

plz help.

@Karthik: U r going to give ur exams, please go ahead and give them. Take up the job if u dont want to miss out on the offer, anyway ur college (if u get a good percentile and the school u want) will start only by July 2012.

An MBA is more about adding onto your skills and network rather than just a placement cell. If you feel there is no need for u now to enhance ur skills and widen ur network, dont do an MBA. When u feel ur have worked enough and ur growth is stunned then u can opt for a Masters/MBA, that would be a more appropriate time.
