Guys,

Need one advice from you.

I was with one of the IT majors for 3 years until I quit my job in Jan for lack of interest and motivation in the coding job. Hence decided to go for MBA.

I had only MH CET on hand and just 3 weeks for preparation. With extremely low on confidence and lack of time, I scored just 86.14 percentile which is extremely low for any decent college.

I had applied for PG programs for some colleges and I have made it through to IES Mumbai in the first list. I am in a huge dilemma whether to take up this college. Also, the college management is smart to retain its students. We are asked to pay the fees by 1st Jun else we lose our seat. Also, if we cancel the admission for any reason after 15th June, we have to forfeit the entire fees of 2.1 Lakhs.

I also have Dalmia, MET and Chetna PG GD PI rounds on hand but extremely confused coz of the IES cancellation clause.

Also, I wish to go for an MBA this year itself. Coz I am no more interested in IT and wish to change my field. So MBA is the only option left.

Guys, please advise me what to do next. I am seeing a dark tunel and with to get rid of this phase of my life asap.

i can help you a bit with , one of my friend is studying at met, if you wish you can call him up, if you want you can ask me, i would pm you his number.

Apart from the IIMs (except IIM C) and SP Jain, not many top B-schools shortlist based on acads or overall profile. Yes, they do give weightage to acads but you can offset that by performing well in the GD/PI and scoring high in CAT. So don't bother by your acads which you can't change (10th and 12th). Focus on your graduation right now and try to improve your %age as much as possible. Then give it your all in CAT, you'll surely get calls from good B-schools. Whether you convert them or not, depends on your GD/PI skills.

PS: I saw you had opened a few threads for specific queries. Please refrain from doing so and always search for an existing thread before opening a new one. In all probability, there would already be an existing thread as people might have had similar queries.

It would be better if you go through the PG rules and learn how to search for existing threads:

You have to complete your graduation to get admitted. However, you can appear for CAT and other exams when you are in your final year.

Hi guys... i am currently doing my final year in civil engineering in chennai. From my childhood, my aim is to be an M.B.A.graduate from a good college... recently came to know that cat is too tough to crack (for my range and abilities)

my 10th - 83%
12th - 83.5%
B.E. (Till now gpa) is 6.8 only

So hoping to do well in TANCET(anna univ) atleast and doing M.B.A. is now a very costly affair if u dont crack any of the entrance exams , Now what shall i do ?? work in some const.company for sometime and then go for exams or shall i start preparing now itself ?? also can any of you give me details on some economical business schools in chennai that do not ask for exorbitant fees etc....

Reading negative stories from this forum, developed a fear whether i can make it or not !!

Whoever said that CAT is too tough to crack, probably doesn't want you to crack it. CAT is not at all tough if you prepare for it well enough. And there's nothing called "range and abilities". You'll never know your range until you try extending it. CAT tests your common sense more than anything else and that is something that everyone possesses, although some may use it more than others. So it's just a case of practice that can get you closer to cracking CAT and nothing else. So just get this notion out of your head - CAT is surely crackable.

About joining a job or just preparing, it's upto you to decide, depending on whether you can manage the job and preparations simultaneously or not. Many people have cracked CAT while working, so it's certainly not that difficult.

PS: Don't just go by the stories on the forum. Everyone has his/her own thought process and that reflects in his/her posts. You have your own mind and use it to believe in yourself and form an opinion of your own. It's always good to take advice but take decisions on your own.

I don't understand that without making any efforts why u guys conclude that cracking cat is beyond ur abilities(as u say,"recently came to know that cat is too tough to crack (for my range and abilities) ").

One thing u should understand that u can not go back an rectify ur errors u have made previously (low mark in grad.) and also u can overcome ur low marks in grads by securing high percentiles in the entrance examinations,so u should start working on that.

Moreover,i will advice u not to take admission in any college this year instead u should look for a job,get some work experience and side-by side give CAT/XAT/SNAP/JMET.Work experience will not only improve ur profile but will earn u some extra marks also.

Hi Guys
well i hv got decent academic back ground
10th 89.4
12th 75
BE 65 :P

and i know i can clear CAT
have good extra curricular good freinds great parents everything that one wants
but there is still a void
and i just dont happen to find it and it keeps me off from doing anything i just dont undersand what i really want
i know what i want to be doing at various stages of life but still there is something thats missing

* i guess i got too philosophical *
the point is i want to be free of mental shackles and how should i achieve that, i have no idea.

467

are you sure its mba that you want?
have surely watched 3 idiots!!
give that a thought first
your confidence that you will be able to crack cat
is really commendable
its your most important asset
but think deeply just once...
not what is a good career option
but what you would love to do

hope this helps!!

Ya , i agree but some of my cousins (they know how i am in academics) have said its difficult for my range !! and surely if i go for a job, mostly civil engg. freshers land only on sites (eg.site engineer) , working all day in the field , which will be very tough for studying side by side .... Hence i wanted to finish once of all ( my M.B.A.) AND THEN GO FOR JOB HUNTING !!

Even, without cat their are some b schools which give admissions provided you transfer a lot of money to their accounts, so can go in that way and finish M.B.A. (said by my prof.) , well now i dont know what to do actually ... some tell to go for cat, others tell its too difficult so try for tancet, xat ,etc... few others tell no need for any entrance preparations, try in some b school .... and some others advising me to get into M.TECH in my own field !!

Its such a bad situation i am facing towards myself regarding my career !!

Bro..
My CGPA wasnt dat good as well.. round 7.2.. But CAT is an all 2gedr diff story.. in d end its just aptitude, and u can crack it with lil effort. ur 10th 12th also sounds good 2 me.
having faced so many interviews.. i can definitely say dat its ur personality which will matter more than ur marks

Abt cheap colleges.. i know (for two years - round-about)
1. IMDR, Pune - 56k
2. IIFM, BHopal - 18k
3. DOMS, Delhi - 15k
But if u score good in CAT or any oder entrance test, and land up in a top tier college, bliv me.. Fee will not be a matter of concern in d long run
Best f luck 4 ur future endeavours:thumbsup:

no exam is tough to crack if you prepare well, have confidence in yourself, u seem a good student based on your 10, and 12 marks, graduation make the most of what is left now and try to touch 7.
and yeah mba is a once in a lifetime thing, prepare well for a year or two with a job and give your best shot and not only cat you have several other exams and they also have good colleges under them like XAT, SNAP, JMET, IRMA,FMS, MFC, to name a few, prepare well, have confidence and you will sail through

be very careful!!!
the value of your mba to a large extent
depends on the brand value of your institute
do not ever land up in the kind of places you are talking about...money n all...it will be of no use...
n cat is tough but you have to have to clear it
if you want a good management profile!!
otherwise its better to stay back in technical
see follow these steps:
1.ask yourself what you like?would you not like to become a civil engineer?
2.if no...yes management is a good option...then which stream...marketing,finance.hr,systems,operations...what would you want to do?
3.if you think you like any of them...then do not hold back...remove that psychological block...join a coaching insti and start appearing for the exams...cat,xat,snap,gmat...you will surely get through something decent

if you join your job it would be difficult but you have to manage if its a manager you want to become!!!
