SOP for MICA (No word limit but space for approx <150 words )The communication industry serves to be a vital functional link between the society €™s expanding material thirst and its ability to quench it, I wish to devote my career to a deeper understanding of this discipline and practical application of communication techniques, theory and management. I aim to specialize in Account planning as it involves a working experience with a diverse set of products while offering a huge potential for learning. However, considering the dynamic and hyper globalised market scenario, I as an aspiring communications manager want to be well versed with the complexities of the trade. I wish to develop my competencies through the challenging learning experience offered at MICA. The programme €™s emphasis on rigorous praxis learning coupled with a strong pedagogy will enable me to gain precious insights into the industry while helping me achieve conceptual clarity.@banu2312 Hi! Could you give feedback on this SOP also. Thank you.

MY SOP for IIT Madras:Right from my childhood I had penchant for mathematical and analytical abilities. This inculcated me interest in joining B.Tech IT from BSA Crescent Engineering College one of the premier Engineering Colleges in India. My self evaluation developed me an inclination towards Management Studies. But I started realizing importance of Business Knowledge and Decision making during my work at Verizon. Being a debate member of College I have developed skill to speak imprudent in presence of large number of people. This helped me interact with CIO of Verizon once where few of suggestions made by me about Organizational structure and decentralization were highly revered and changes being implemented across the whole Organization. My work experience of 27 months with two of biggest and best Organizations of the world also made me realize the importance of Team Work, interaction of people from Diverse Backgrounds and effective communication skills and how to work within stipulated deadlines under pressure. I also believe that in this age of accelerating globalization, as the organizations go more global in their presence and diversify beyond their core competencies, the more would be the need to seek professional advice to tackle various challenges. Further with an intellectual craving for working on complex and challenging business-related problems, I realized that Business Consulting is where I wish to pursue my career. And my analytical abilities coupled with my corporate experience at TCS(Service Based Company) and Verizon(Product Based Company) would help me a great deal in this.DOMS IIT Madras , one of the top management institutes in India with the best faculty and state of the art infrastructure can provide me the platform for my successful voyage in management. Also An MBA would enhance my interpersonal and leadership skills so that I can carve my own niche and become an asset to any organisation.Seniors please review it. . .Tomorrow is last date for submission.One doubt maximum limit is 400 words but My SOP is coming near 300 words would it be a problem ?

hope it helps !

@Simba and others..any insight on this question??"If offered an admission to the MBA program at IIT Madras, please highlight the various ways in which you can contribute to the growth and development of the Department of Management Studies and the Institute during your period of study."

@oldman2060 said:

@vaiiet ...my bad.... i did not know about this program...apologies !

coming back to your SOP you could cut down your experience ( as you would mention it elsewhere in work ex part ) and emphasize on the fact that you have already worked in India and are very eager to learn about China as both these countries are going to be major forces in the global economy. and also with your experience, you have an insight into organisational structures, working, etc..... and would share your unique experiences thereby, being an asset to the institute !

best of luck !

@oldman2060 thanks a lot and i specifically i mentioned China here because in this program they have a tie up with the chines university and will be there for 6 months in china and othere 6 months in india and the internship will also be there is china and please tell which part can be omitted so that i can insert some thing about my work experience because the word limit is 100 only

Please suggest and thanks again

@vaiiet

Working for a telecom major in core technical profile for 4 and a half years i realized that if you want to excel in your career you should have good managerial skills.
A dynamic program like this where i will get a chance to face the challenges of one of the biggest and changing markets of the world

like china

(why china... seriously, how is your mba related to china anyway

and why only china and not others )

will really help me to learn and gain the required skill sets needed to be a good manager and a degree from one of the premier institutes of the country like IIM shillong with its world class infrastructure, industry exposure and highly qualified faculty will hone my career path.

you could write about your experience and leverage it more .

SOP for IIM SHILLONG plz review it!After having worked and gaining technical knowledge, I feel the need to enhance mymanagerial skills as well. Being an operation engineer, I am familiar with the importance ofoperation management in an organization and eager to learn more. Pursuing MBA from IIMShillong with highly qualified faculties and brightest fellow students, would help me inattaining goals quickly ( makes you look impatient ! See if you could avoid this.). The institute's technical and practical approach to teachingmethodologies would make learning a lot easier and fun ( rather you could talk about the strong foundation you would recieve, a launchpad) . Also, Shillong being the rockcapital and me being a music fanatic, it would be an icing on the cake.

rest seems fine.

Please seniors kindly review asap.. I ahve to send it by tomorrow.Why do I want to join this programme ? Programme applied : MBA-IBM FOREWord limit- 100 (very less)It was 2nd year of B.tech when I started co-relating my interests and myself 5 years hence with the core studies of Biotech. There I realized, India, despite being self-sufficient in quality research, has not tapped the potential of the field fully from commercial point of view. It is my belief in the dynamism of personality that realizes me that technology is not enough, it the tact to sell, (grammar) that rewards. An MBA-IBM from FORE would instill within me the management skills required for abridging this gap and help me actuating my goal of being one of the key members in positioning a company globally. words- 105

P.S. hope this helps !
