I have done MBA from a local college. I am working for last 2 years. Is it possible to pursue MBA again from top colleges like IIM, XLRI or ISB?

 If you are considering pursuing an MBA from top colleges like IIM, XLRI, or ISB even after already obtaining an MBA from a local college and working for the last 2 years, the good news is that it is possible.

Here are some things to consider:

  • Pursuing a second MBA can be a great way to enhance your knowledge and skills and potentially open up new career opportunities.
  • It's important to have a clear understanding of your career goals before deciding to pursue another MBA. Make sure you're not just doing it for the sake of doing it.
  • Keep in mind that MBA programs at top colleges can be highly competitive, so you'll need to make sure you have a strong application that showcases your achievements and potential.
  • In addition to strong academics and work experience, admissions committees will also be looking for evidence of leadership, teamwork, and other important soft skills.
  • Another factor to consider is the cost of pursuing an MBA, especially if you'll need to take time off work or relocate to attend a full-time program.
  • However, there are also part-time and online MBA programs that can offer more flexibility for working professionals.
  • If you do decide to pursue a second MBA, it's important to be transparent about your previous degree and work experience in your application and interviews.

Be prepared to explain why you feel another MBA is necessary and how it will help you achieve your career goals.

Finally, keep in mind that an MBA is just one part of your overall career journey. It's important to continue learning and growing throughout your career, regardless of whether or not you pursue another degree.

What should I choose, ISB Hyderabad PGP, IIM-A PGPX, INSEAD, Booth Chicago, or LBS?

SJ
Sourav Jain Posted On : March 12th, 2021
Studied at Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad

To make a choice from any of the colleges, you must judge practically by calculating the net benefit for each school. This is because all the intangible aspects like brand value, networking opportunity, learning, etc will definitely manifest in the expected earning potential after the completion of your MBA.

Firstly, calculate your present earning potential by adding your ‘Current salary’ and expected increase and what is the maximum you can earn in this field (also, how many years it will take?) - Say you can reach up to X in 10 years and then it’s more or less constant.

Now, Calculate the investment for each college -

Cost / Investment = Fees + Stay + exchange program + opportunity cost (current salary * number of months)

ROI after MBA= Expected Salary ranges in the industry you want to work in. What is the maximum earning potential you can reach?

It should be more than X or if it's X in fewer years than your current state, which shows that your investment in that college will be worth it in the future. This way will definitely help you invest in the right place.

Does NIT Calicut have cinema theatres?

AG
Ananda Mohan Ghosh Posted On : April 15th, 2021
Studied Chemical Engineering at the National Institute of Technology, Calicut (2018)

NIT Calicut does not offer a cinema theater as it doesn't even offer the basic facilities which any other Institute offers easily. 

The condition of NIT Calicut is elaborated below.

  • The occupancy of 1 single room is shared by 2 students, the walls of the rooms are broken with the ancient framework of windows. 
  • The condition of toilets is even worse than the one offered in public places. 
  • The space for sports activities provided such as the football court named, "NITC Football Court" has a curfew till 7 and the badminton court is no more a badminton court, it is rather an auditorium. 
  • Other clubs like music clubs will seem like an antique music instrument outlet and the blackboard conditions are worse. 
  • The common room collapses during the rainy seasons. 

With such bad facilities, a theatre room is not even expected.

What is the food like in IIT Ropar?

GR
Geetali Rao Posted On : September 10th, 2021
Studied B.Tech Computer Science, Indian Institute of Technology Ropar (2021)

The food served at IIT Ropar is just edible, nothing extraordinary. You might not like the food at the hostel of IIT Ropar except for several occasions. 

Every student in hostels tends to get bored of the mess food after a while. The menu of the mess is prepared to keep in mind the presence of people from different regions of India. You will be served both South Indian as well North Indian cuisines. The mess at IIT Ropar has an advantage, unlike the other IITs, it serves snacks to the students and the breakfast is also pretty great. 

Food will not be an actual issue most of the time as you would be indulged in your studies. You will be busy and would not even notice the taste of the food after some time.

Can I get into XLRI with 47% in graduation, but pretty good scores in 10th & 12th? I also have 2 years of work experience. What if I manage to get 99.9+ in the XAT?

SP
Shivam Pandey Posted On : June 2nd, 2021
PGDBM Marketing & Operations Management, Xavier School of Management (2016)

If your score is good in XAT, you will get the call. It is also good because the marks have a good amount of weightage in the final selection.

Most probably, you will be questioned if you have low grades in any of the examinations and all you need to do is, just satisfy the interviewers and prove to them that you are a good candidate and this would be enough to get you through.

If you have a score anywhere above 99.9 Percentile, you will get a call from XAT. You are much more than your mark sheets and XLRI values such things which are beyond scores.

lives in New Delhi

The ECE branches of all the three NITs you mentioned namely NIT Kurukshetra, NIT Hamirpur, and NIT Durgapur in terms of campus life, job opportunities, and curriculum. However, it's very important to make the most out of the branch you are opting for irrespective of the institute you choose. 

Follow the tips below to ensure you avail maximum opportunities as an ECE student

  • Start focusing on programming if you want CSE in the first place because you will be appearing for IT companies. They will evaluate you on the basis of your skills so start working on them.
  • If you are particularly interested in ECE, then joining any of these NITs will offer similar opportunities. Core jobs are usually less so you will have to study core subjects diligently and try to develop strong concepts. Work on projects and add value to your resume so that you can go for off-campus placements too.

Is BITS Goa good for CS?

SR
Sreetama Roy Posted On : August 2nd, 2021
Studies CS at BITS Goa 2021

According to some of my friends studying at BITS Goa, it is undeniably a very established institute to pursue Computer Science (CS). One of the main reasons is the faculty BITS Goa essentially involves. Under their supervision, you will be part of handling several projects in your course of study.

However, at times, it might get quite difficult securing certain individual projects under the guidance of professors due to a huge amount of competition.

Here is the latest placement report of BITS Goa,

Highest Salary Package INR 25 LPA
Average Salary Package INR 12-16 LPA
Top Recruiting Companies BNY Mellon, Amazon, Goldman Sachs, ZS Associates, Microsoft, Ebay, Paypal, Tesco, KPMG, etc.

On the flip side, you will indisputably acquire a good set of experience from both PS 1 and PS 2. The placement drive is usually very robust, since the institute is often visited by various top IT firms. However, since the competition is quite high, it might get slightly difficult. Although, it will be worth it nonetheless.
