Focus on the point that you always make the best use of opportunities and therefore you selected the job which you felt would propel your career in the right direction. If you are confident and convinced about your decision you should be able to convince the interview board. Good luck!

hey puys... i really need help at the earliest...
I am an eco hons graduate (67.1%) .. 10th - 94% ..12th - 89.2%
now my real reason for wanting to do an mba is
1)i feel if i continue with eco .. that sort of restricts my options..so an mba would give me an understanding of business functions at a wider level (in the sense for atleast ur 1st sem ur doing finance..hr.. marketing..ops..etc.. so it helps u learn a lot..n gives u cross functional exposure.)i dnt have work ex..(have done a lot of internships) so its difficult to pin point one speacialisation..??.. do i rly need to specify one on the interview table???
2) at a later stage i want to do something of my own ( now i dont know what that something rly is) so my qsn is ..is it rly imp to knw exactly wht id wnt to start.. thr hv been lot of changes in the last 10 yrs .. so depending on my aptitude n maket requirments.. can i not decide this at a later stage..??...n can i not tell the interviewer the same...??

m sorry for the loonngg post .. but plz help me out with this:lookround:

Hi,

No you need not pinpoint on one specialisation at the interview. However keep in mind that the interviewers are looking for focused individuals and so make sure that you do not sound vague even if you are not absolutely decided on your specialisation.

Yes, enteprenaurship qualities are applauded by most institutes; however like the previous answers here too I would like to point out that you need to have a fair idea about what you want to do as an enteprenaurial venture later in your life.

Hope this helps and good luck!
Selecting the Right MBA Specialization

I think it is a good move that IIMs will not focus much on the CAT score. i have seen many good students perform miserably in CAt just by chance; however their overall academic results prove that they were perfect IIM material. Keeping in mind this fact it is all the more better if CAT scores were not given too much priority.

Hi,

Being a person who has cracked CAT a few years ago (and who was also nervours about communicating effectively) let me tell you the key to crack GD and PI is confindence. Yes ! confidence takes time to cultivate and the best way to be confident is to have expertise. So know your subject well; know about your hobbies; develop an aptitude for general knowledge and above all feel good about yourself. "Be excellent" and sucess will be yours!

An Online MBA is preferable in a situation where the other option is no MBA. However keep in mind like a regular course even in an online course you need to identify the right institution. An online MBA from a branded institution like XLRI makes sense; however do not go for any course from less reputed institutes as in the long run it will hamper your career progression. Finally keep in mind this one piece of wisdom - just having an MBA degree is not enough; you need to have it from the right institute.

Well its great to see this useful discussion. As an MBA graduate (who managed to clear cAT despite RC being a weak point!) I have a few tips for you guys. Though it might sound cliche yet the best advice that I can give you is to read books. It is a must. Trust me , RC was also one of my weak points; however the only way I managed to get a decent score is when I started reading.
Now do not think of reading as a leisure activity; think of reading as a part of your agenda to crack CAt. You are determined to crack CAT and so yu will read to ensure that you manage the RC questions- that needs to be your motto!
The habit of reading is not inculcated within a day and you need to give yourself some time. Start with something you would like to read and then proceed to read books which would add value to yourself. By reading books you not only get ready to crack RC; but also you develop intellect which can make GD and PI smooth sailing. I know coming from a senior it seems like a gyaan and advice might be cliched- but this is the best thing you can do before CAT.
For CAT 2010 aspirants this is the right time to start reading. My mentor had given a me a great reading list to begin- let me know if I should be sharing it with you.

There are a few ground rules. First and foremost find out if the electives interest you or not. Look out for last year's placement in your discipline. Find out if you are ythe right profile for your discipline.And finally remember the one great lesson: "Go after excellence and not success." My years of experience has taught me that a person attains excellence only if he/she is interested. So locate your natural knack and based on that select your specialisation.
