If you score well, then you may definitely hope for calls. However, the converts will depend on your GD/PI performance. So, stop thinking about these things and concentrate on preparations!!

Hi Prashant,
I will answer your second query first. Which one would be better is a question that will vary with your needs and requirements. Suppose you want a complete 2 year break and go for studies, then if you have the ability to crack CAT, then go ahead and do it. Even if you go for 1 year course, there are few good options available in India as well. Surely, any course done from abroad will give you a better perspective of globalisation and internationalisation. But colleges in India are also good. So, at the end it will depend on your choice - from where you want to do an MBA.
For your first question, it will depend on the specialisation you choose. You can get a role of IT Consultant if you choose an specialisation similar to your current profile. You can also move into Marketing and get a profile related to it or HR if you so opt.
So, in the end the answers to both your question will depend on the choice that you make.

Thanks for your reply..
- I just wanted to know where do ppl with 3yr IT exp generally end up after their MBA say from an IIM in India.
- What specialization does one need to do for the role of IT consultant?
Also,
I have changed my job after 10 months exp in Infy, am now in a product firm. Considering I go for MBA after one year in this company, Will this change of job affect job offers after an MBA.
Thanks for your reply..
- What specialization does one need to do for the role of IT consultant?
You can go for specialisation in Systems if you want to grow in this line.
- I just wanted to know where do ppl with 3yr IT exp generally end up after their MBA say from an IIM in India.
People with different profile will have different paths. As I said, if you specialise in Marketing, then you may get a profile related to Marketing of say an IT company. Now, what post will depend from company to company.
Similarly, if you specialise in HR, then you will get a similar profile.
What exactly you want to ask? Frame your question so that I properly know what answer will satisfy you. 😃

I had already replied to this query of yours:-
Hi Devendra,
You can go for General Management or Cross-functional courses like those from NITIE or can go for specialisation in any field of your choice like Operations, Marketing, HR, etc.
Hi all,
what are the chances of Infy firing an engineer under probation on the grounds of bad/below average performance.
I have heard they don't fire during probation unless on disciplinary issues.is it true?

It depends buddy on how badly you perform ;). By the way what exactly is the situation that you are thinking that Infy will or will not fire?
Hey guys,
I am Kiran. I was supposed to graduate from college in 2009 but due to backlogs and health issues I graduated this year ie 2011. Should I write CAT? Will I get admission is a half decent college after getting 95+ percentile. Will this 2 year gap affect my chances.
Thanks in Advance

What are the half-decent colleges that you are referring to? If you work sincerely and hard-enough then surely you have good chances.
half decent colleges in the sense. one of the colelges in top 50. like tapmi and all. also LIBA GIM thought admission is through XAT

Kiran,
As I said, if you prepare well, then you can definitely think about cracking these colleges. You will also need to explain your setbacks - at least to neutralize the effect. I have a friend who couldn't clear his engineering in one go as he went into depression and cleared in 5 years. Later he went on to crack IIMC.
That's very encouraging. Thanks again 
Hello,
I am in quite a fix with respect to my career. I completed my BA in Economics from Madras Christian College and did not do all that great. So to make up, i got a job. AFter 4 years of work experience, i have decided to pursue an MBA as i want to empower my life. Now i am being realistic. There is no point in applying to top institutes cause of my low UG degree. SO i am sitting for my GMAT, only to find out that i am horrible in Math. I am eager to complete my post graduation, out of India. Preferably in the Feb-March intake. If anyone could guide me as to what my options are, i would be grateful. The reason why i want to go abroad is that i need a change as i feel it will do me good. Please suggest..
Cheers!
Rohan

Hello Palak,
I want to move up the management chain. I would like to be involved with International Trade and or Human Resources. The former being first choice.

If you go and study abroad from not so good and great college then you may end up without job and will have to come back to India. So, think about all this. First of all you need to clear the first hurdle - GMAT. Though there are many colleges which will not ask for GMAT score (for eg in UK), but the placement will be at risk. Think about it. You have good chances to study abroad - there are plenty of universities which will happily take you in if you have money in your pockets to pay the fees.

Hello Palak,
Thanks for the input. I am on a tight budget and will have to consider the fees to study abroad! UK is out of the question. I was thinking of Australia. But yes, GMAT is the 1st step and i need to crack that. Is it still possible to apply for March intake now?
