?
Is getting another university degree the recipe for Success ?
• Youth employment is the lowest since the 1950s, and for the first time more
unemployed people have college experience than not.
• Competition for new jobs is fierce, with 50% of the world's population under 30.
• Industry looks at MBA as basic qualification for certain roles
• The prospect of forgoing business school in favor of real-world accomplishments
is scary for many new college graduates.
When you are competing against 3.5 billion people, it pays to be
different.
• As the cost of education increases, it's important to know if you'll get your money’s
worth and see a positive ROI.
• What matters exponentially more than that M.B.A. is the set of skills and
accomplishments that are needed for success.
• Study abroad 30%+ dearer [ Upto 70 LPA/ 2 year Courses in Well known
Universities]
If you can identify and practice the skills necessary to become a master
in your chosen field you don’t need an MBA otherwise you do

Value Ad or Just another Fad
• MBA offers broader career choices than traditional courses.
• Offers wide range of opportunities and profiles unlike traditional
career options such as Bank PO or Civil Services
• MBA is a vocational course; highly sought after by industry
• Industry/ Function flexibility
• Superior Launching pad: The pedigree factor and the 1st job from
the campus
• Alumni and peer network

So, Should you be an ‘IIM Alumni’ ?
• Those who realize no good company is going to hire you simply because you are
from an IIM but are prepared to work to achieve their goal (be it through
academics/committees/networking (or politicking, depending on how you see it)/B
school competitions).
• Those who value the long term value of an IIM degree and can look beyond the
first pay cheque.
• Those looking to interact with some of the brightest and most accomplished minds
and who are ready to not be overawed (or drown in their own jealousy/inferiority
complex) but learn from them.
• Those looking for a meaningful shift in their careers
• Those with less than 2 – 3 years of work experience looking to add on further
skills from Sales (and sometimes Marketing) or General Management to HR.
MBA is an arena for experimentation &
experience

Beyond the Hard Cash
Most under-rated reasons why you should get an MBA but probably the most
important one’s
1.The chance to realize how little you understand about the world.
2.The chance to make some lifelong friends who will accomplish great things over their
careers in business.
3.The chance to learn about how to get a bunch of high-strung, Type-A personalities to
work together as a team
4.The chance to think about the global economy and not just your little world.  ’
5.The chance to stop and reflect on big business issues.
6.The chance to interact with Professors & accomplished executives when they come to
talk at your school who will really challenge you.
7.The chance to learn about managing people.
8.The chance to learn how to get up and string a few sentences together.
The chance to focus or refocus yourself

Engineering + MBA
Ticket to success at India Inc*
Survey Across BSE 100 Firms findings
70% of CEOs had post graduation degrees while only 30% were
undergraduates.
Under Graduate Degrees of CEO’s –Engineering degrees : 45%
Commerce Degrees : 20%
78% had completed post graduation. 64% of those who pursued a
postgraduate degree did an MBA.
42% of the CEOs finished their MBA degrees from top
management schools such as the IIMs,
XLRI, Harvard, Stanford and Wharton.
India vs Abroad : All the CEOs who completed an MBA degree,
45% had done so from India while 55% from foreign universities .
Professionally Run Firms : 54% of CEOs had an MBA and a
majority of them were from an engineering background.
Family Run Firms : 69% CEOs from family-run companies had
done their post graduation and 83% of those postgraduates had
pursued an MBA afterwards.
Survey Organizer: Randstad + TOI - Delve deep into CEOs' CVs according to the study which was conducted among the BSE 100 firms
The trend of a higher
percentage of CEOs having
studied engineering and
commerce along with an MBA
seems to be in line with the
traditional educational
belief system in India.
Most people perceive that
this path provides valuable
skills for going up the
corporate ladder along with
helping sustain the
competitive advantage to
become the CEO

MBA College Life – Is it really differentYou have classes

You go to the extra curriculars you like
you take the classes that interest you & some which don’t
You Graduate After Two Years
So is it really different from the other colleges?
It's absolutely is
You meet brilliant and wonderful people here
The classes are usually taught by great and engaging professors
Peer Group is all Intelligent & Perceptive
The campus and locations are fantastic
It leads to Changes in perspectives & Increased Opportunities
The content is comprehensive.
The resources are practical.
The design is seamless.
You have lifetime access to network you build.

A day in the Life of a B- School Studenta
3:30 PM 5:30 PM 6:30 PM 6:45 PM
9:00 PM 10:30 PM 11:30 PM 12:15 AM
Breakfast the most important meal
of the day ….not to be skipped …
gulp it as countdown for the quiz
begins or the sacred doors are
shut 1…2…3
Quiz – to open the day
Assignments Submissions …… Case
Study Discussions …..
Presentations…… Project Updates
….. Class Participation with Lunch
time no where in sight
After climbing a mountain of
knowledge by some of India’s best
faculty members, some by Google &
Peers you finally get to take a
lunch break at mess
Power Nap …Definitely to stock up
on energy
Or
Good time to Inform the loved
one’s that you are still alive if not
in person atleast in photo frames
Attend a guest lecture to be taken
by somebody who is someone in
some top MNC
Or
Meet the professor to discuss your
performance or your project if you
are lucky
Participate in the Society
discussions to plan the activities
for the upcoming week.
Suddenly you feel that 24 hours in
a day are just not enough
to keep up with the pace.
Healthy mind resides in a healthy
body …..A quick round of table
tennis or jogging or even NFS is
contested as keenly as any
marketing case. So are the baddy
and TT matches.
You are reminded of an
international case study
competition for a consulting firm
for which you had registered the
previous week. The deadline
stands at 23:59:59 today or
tomorrow.
12:30 AM 2:30 AM 3:00 AM 7:30 AM
9:25 AM 9:30 AM 1:30 PM 2:30 PM
Dinner & Gup Shup time
Food & Gossip – The most healthy
combination followed by a long walk
across the campus rejuvenates you
for long hours ahead
Group discussions can get pretty
hostile. Nightfall sees a hundred
groups huddled together in rooms,
the computer centre , the lib etc.
all over campus. There are cases to
rip apart and submissions to make.
Assignments & Project Reports ,
white papers , competitions to send
entries to
& the best part is Deadlines usually
are 12:00 AM …So you still have 30
minutes or 1800 secs to go …Buck
Up
Tea / Maggi at Mess/ Nescafe to
Sustain you for another 4 hrs
