Hey guys, I was a classroom student of TIME last year.
I am thinking of giving CAT again in 2021. Do you guys know if TIME will give me AIMCATs or access to lecture videos this year as well, without any other payment?
(saw a similar post regarding IMS here last week, hence was wondering the same for TIME)
Thanks!
Do you think that in the name of Academic Diversity, the quality of MBAs produced from top B Schools is being compromised?

Is IIM waste of time?
Ok so here it goes.. I might be laughing material for few but if someone who can help, I genuinely need their suggestions.
I have done my MBA, yes you read that right! However, I did my MBA in Hospital & Health Management. Back then I was 21 & naĂŻve and opt for sectoral MBA and then settled for less than mediocre college.Â
I am currently a health professional & at 25, I have almost 3 year of experience in the development sector. There is no scope of growth, hierarchy is flat , though the work I do is impactful but knowing I may never able to switch to different industry is kind of demotivating factor which is why I literally feel stuck at times. In addition, pay is meagre, in the name of perk & leaves they serve you joke, unless you are permanent employee in one of the UN agency life is not good anywhere. Management expect you to slog day in, day out. I donât mind doing it but honestly I donât see myself in this domain in the next 5 years.Â
In totality after thinking thoroughly, coupled with all these reasons,I have decided to give another shot of doing MBA. This time I am aiming to get admission in one of the top-20 college. Now, since you know my story, suggest me if itâs wise of me to go for MBA again?Â
My acads are terrible 9/73/63. SC category. Also beforehand, trolls may exclude themselves if they have any personal gruge on reservation system. Please refrain yourself from commenting, you will not be entertained at all.
PS: Please donât suggest me to go for GMAT later on to pursue Ex MBA. Either I would go and aim for 2 year MBA or nothing. There is no in between. Â Thanks for hearing me out. Suggestion are welcome!
Facts
Chronicle of a Chronic Underachiever A person does not decide who he/she is or will be. Even the word you'll hear the most in your life is given to us in our infancy. We're just a sum of the experiences of things and expectations of people around us. These expectations can either make or break a person. Who surpasses them gets an unnatural spike in confidence and one who does not is broken. The Protagonist has always been average. Never failed to meet expectations, but never excelled in anything. Was a jack of all trades, but all cards except the ace are considered jokers. Always had a chip on his shoulder. Always looked for a chance at redemption. Then comes the chance. Preparations are good. Motivation is high. But the protagonist fails miserably, because the pressure was too high to handle. The ghosts of past are now confident enough to reveal themselves outside of dreams. 'You are not cut out for it'. Then comes a period of introspection. Making peace with the past. Just letting it go. It has dawned upon him that life is too short to be a redemption story. The Protagonist has decided to write the second part of his life himself. The protagonist has decided to become the man he wants to see in the mirror, not what other want to see. P.S. Taking some exam as a redemption story can do wonders for your motivation. But it will make you miserable. Instead take it as a chance to improve yourself. The exam will become a walk in the park. Who am I to teach others? Just someone who has walked miles in the protagonist's shoes. Hope I can tell his story of achievement someday too. But that chapter is yet to come, being written one page at a time.

After seeing a big discussion on FMS I wanted to understand the fuss and so I googled and also searched on Quora to understand the criticism. On Quora there are several questions about FMS. What do you all think about these questions.
Â
1. Does FMS have a campus and campus life like the IIMs, XLRI and MDI?
2. Does FMS have hostels on the same premises as the classrooms and good hostel life?
3. Does FMS have foreign exchange like the IIMs, XLRI and MDI?
4. Does FMS have top firms like MBB? Does it have 50% of the MBB offers that the top 5 IIMs and XLRI have?
5. Does FMS have the same brand power as the old IIMs and XLRI?
6. Does FMS give you access to the pan IIM alumni network?
7. When you ask any of the coaching Institute people âWhy FMS?â do they say anything other than âROIâ?
8. When you ask them whether their calculation accounts for lifetime earnings and things like personal development during the MBA, do they say yes?
9. In terms of student quality has FMS ever come in the top 5 or even top 10 of the Dare2Compete b-school rankings which rank business schools by how many competitions their students have won?
10. Do you want to go a placement agency?

Top 6 Innovative MBA Programs to Keep an Eye On in 2021, Ft. WUD
With the markets at an all-time high, different businesses are looking at an all-time high demand for management professionals. Business study students are becoming one of the top priorities in the country at this point. Just like you keep an eye on the stock and cryptocurrency markets, MBA programs have issued their version of IPOs. Many new innovative MBA programs have caught our eye and seem to be great options for specific niche markets.
The following are six innovative MBA programs to keep an eye on:
MBA-Design Strategy & InnovationÂ
Aimed at bringing designing into amalgamation with the general MBA stream, the course focuses on Design Strategy & Human Centred Design through a pathway of studio courses that teach how to use market insights to build products, create experiences, and launch businesses. By the end of the period, one can expect to gain adequate competence enabling them to understand and map the opportunities and design transformational strategies, manage innovation and new business development in any of all the diverse sectors from products to services, governance, crafts to ICT, life and entertainment, etc. Apart from these, it would also be helpful to explore other streams like social enterprises, consultancy or jobs always contributing to the top management function either as team players or as team leaders or even initiating start-ups.
MBA-Data AnalyticsÂ
Data Analytics has already become one of the prerequisites to getting into any business-related stream at this date. The MBA related to Data Analytics covers Big Data Analytics, Data Visualisation & Tableau, and software like Hadoop and Stark. It strengthens the foundation of data research and analytics in which a candidate can gain more experience and value-based learning throughout the MBA in Data Analytics course. This course focuses on theoretical and practical aspects of data management and Analysis. Students can also specialise in Data Analytics and Business Accounts, which is the primary subject of study for the course duration. The MBA in Data Analytics course is designed to collect, analyse, and process raw data to provide insights & data to the required domain. This information will help the students with application analytics such as neural networking, prediction algorithms, and forecasting methods applied to business strategies.
MBA-Artificial IntelligenceÂ
In this era of smartphones, artificial intelligence is picking up at quite a pace. Applying AI-based knowledge to businesses that can generate revenue is what this course is all about. It would cover all the information related to Artificial intelligence via the database management system of SQL and Statistics related to it and Predictive Modelling and Analysis and how to apply this knowledge to business administration, accounting and commerce.Â
MBA-Design ThinkingÂ
An MBA in design thinking looks to bridge the gap within generic management streams using every organisation's design and innovation processes to manage change. These programs are intended to help management graduates to learn the essence of design processes and designers. Topics of Design Thinking methods and application, Human-centred design and systems and service design are targeted. Design Thinking will further help business leaders to incorporate thinking across multiple disciplines, undertake more ethnographic studies and less quantitative Analysis, and view richer insights about the targeted personas. It will help management graduates develop the confidence to make swift decisions, be comfortable with placing strategic bets using intuition and data, and be more customer-centric by understanding basic approaches from ethnographic research and communicating how design thinking will connect to business strategy.Â
MBA-Service DesignÂ
This concentration is aimed at future leaders and managers of service-based organisations. It is not sector-specific and applies to a wide range of industries, including healthcare, finance, IT, travel, retail, education and even oil and gas. The course examines the complex cultural, technological, and systemic issues facing businesses and governments to create new services for now and the future. The programme will prepare students for (a) creating new consumer services by identifying human needs via Human Centred Design, transformational services, and delivery in complex organisations, for example, in retail, banking and hospitality. (b) development & innovation in public service and policy in transportation, health and education, and (c) speculative futures to envision radically new services and user experiences driven by technological, environmental and social challenges.Â
M.Des-International Fashion BusinessÂ
The International Fashion Business program is designed to forge a leader in the global world of the fashion business. Offered in collaboration with the School of Management, the master's program comprises of three main focus areas, i.e. (a) Fashion knowledge & Analysis: fashion cycle, fashion studies, fashion trend forecasting, analytics, quantitative methods and design thinking (b) Data analysis & planning: digital marketing, omnichannel marketing, data analysis, & strategic planning, and (c) Business Application: import/export, domestic retail, overseas commercial development, fashion operations, online and offline distribution. The course is designed to offer an opportunity to study international fashion business in a creative environment to students with a range of ambitions and interests in fashion who do not aspire to be fashion designers. From the placement perspective, they'll attract opportunities in Fashion Design, Luxury Brand Management, Retail Management, and Fashion Management besides entrepreneurship.Â
The above six streams are one of the most looked for in these past years. The World University of Design offers these unique niche courses, which have a vast segment of design linked to it. WUD is India's first and only university dedicated to education in the creative domain. WUD's BBA and MBA programmes take a holistic approach to moulding students into well-rounded management professionals. In addition to building students' knowledge base and competencies in the selected area of specialisation, the focus is also on honing their thinking abilities, leadership & life skills.

Having been inspired by many AIWTSACs of the past, it indeed is a proud feeling to write one, myself.Â
Wanted to keep it short, but given how close CAT has been to my heart over the past year or so, I got a bit carried away, pliss to excuse :3Â
I have mostly been a lurker in PG, a religious one at that xD, for more than a year, but thank you Puys and Pirls for making the journey enjoyable. Wouldn't have been the same, without all of you :') For all the good wishes. For all the memes <3, a special mention to Pinku and Sanchit here :') The Jamalu Bhai predictions, Scrabbler's wisdom and Shankarji's teachings, The AIMCAT and SIMCAT threads, I shall miss it all.Â
To all of you who will be joining a B-School this year, All the best! Hoping to see a few of you at Joka!Â
For any aspirant reading this, feel free to DM me and I shall try my best to help you out!
Which is better?
