Ask a Consultant! - GMAT/GRE Only

Hello,

I am a computer science post graduate working with an industry leading telecom firm with 12 years of experience. My scores are ==> 10th: 84%, 12th: 74%, Grad: 67%, post grad: 9.1 CGPA.

I am into project/program management profile for the past 4 years with excellent track record. I am thinking of pursuing an MBA but not convinced how much boost it will provide to my career considering:

- my experience is already higher as compared to average experience of candidates.

- is it worth the investment

Additionally pls suggest:

- should I be looking at MBA or any other course

- if I target Indian B-schools then apart from ISB and IIMs should any other schools be on my radar?

- what gmat score should I be targeting?


Pls advise.

I am planning to give GMAT and then getting into a good B-school. For that I am looking for a good counselling program in MUMBAI.

Till now, I have heard of two names - "IMS counselling" and "KIC education counselling"

IMS is charging fees around 24,000 and KIC is charging around 47,000.

I have no idea about which of them is reputed and worth investing such a large amount of money.

Could anyone please provide some useful suggestions?

Thank you!!

NUS is one of the top ranked B Schools in Asia for MBA. with its 16 months course length, it is a preferred destination for roles in finance, operations and general management. A minimum experience of 24 months is required to apply. However, desirable years of experience could be anywhere between 3-4 years. Having said that, it would be good to tell you that professional experience in terms of quality and kinds of roles handled would matter more than the years of experience. For Scholarships, you will have to refer to the website of NUS. A tip here - Apply in R1 to have the maximum advantage.


Hi, I am a 2012 batch Computer Science Engineer, acads, 10th-86% 12th-72% Grad-8.03 CGPA. I have got a call from XIMB this year, and the last date of making the payment is 12th, I have always been in the helm of affairs wherever I have worked, and heavily participated in extra-curricular activities, in the past have lead campaigns for an NGO during my engineering studies, have 2 years of experience working there, which in turn helped me realize my potential in a job where there is a high need of managerial acumen, that was during my Engineering, currently I am working at a startup as a software developer, people there also recognize my personal skills and are willing to make me a product manager. My career goal is to be in a leading position in a company, where i get to make decisions and earn a remuneration I deserve. Should i join XIMB this year, which seems to me like a risk as the seats have increased and scenario is not perfect, or should i work here for a couple of years and try for ivy league B-Schools down the line, I have 13 months experience. Do i have a chance of cracking those given my academics? I would want to see myself in these schools but, dont know if that is a practical decision to make. Any guidance is welcomed.

my name is anuradhatadas n my cmat score is 90 .. whch college i can apply for ..???

Hi guys, I'm rank new to this forum. Been contemplating to crack the GMAT for a good 12 months now and have finally decided to take the plunge come June. However, there are a few niggling questions I have (I scoured previous threads but could not find some definitive recommendations). Sadly, there are a lot of people waiting in the wings to have you enrolled and make a quick buck by fobbing you off.


I'll cut to the chase here. A lot of my friends and members in here have recommended to do away with classes. I could have done so but mathematics is my bogey subject. Having worked for more than 5 years, I've become all the more rusty with math and other aspects of the test. In order to get into the swing of things, I've decided not to straddle professional and study time periods. As far as classes are concerned, I'm torn between TIME, IMFS and IMS. It will be of immense help if someone could help me with their experience or recommendations, etc. I've also heard that Manhattan have started off with their courses in India. Could anyone shed some light on that as well? Will it pan out just fine for GMAT aspirants like me?

Thanks a ton in advance!! πŸ˜ƒ πŸ˜ƒπŸ‘

Dear Consultants - I gave CAT this year and scored 99.1. However, could only convert IIM Shillong as of now. In order to decide wheher to take up IIM S or not, I want to explore my options of doing MBA from abroad (targetting top 35 worldwide). I wanted to know, given a good GMAT score, what are other paramters one needs to have in their profile to crack through them.

Also, I will take a loan in that case. What is the ROI of spending 70 odd lac INR?

Looking for some expert advice.

I work in Evalueserve as a Project Manager. (2.75 years of work exp)
