The document discusses selection criteria for MBAs, what companies look for, and expectations of MBA graduates. Some key points: - Companies select based on attitude, skills, and the prestige of the MBA institution rather than just the degree. Industry-ready students who need less training are preferred. - Flexibility, creative problem-solving, strong teamwork, and an integrated knowledge of business functions are important. Graduates should have entrepreneurial mindsets. - Higher salaries depend on the prestige of the MBA institution, internship performance, undergraduate institution/degree, work experience, communication skills, and psychological evaluation.

Corporates for MBAs?

3. How companies select MBAs?
 Good companies don’t select anyone for
having MBA as ‘just another degree’.
 More than knowledge – selection is
based on ‘Attitude ‘ and ‘Skill’
 ‘Brand image’ of the institute plays crucial
role in initial selection.
 “Industry Ready” students are preferred
because it saves lot of money on training

4. Industry Expectations
 Flexible and creative approach to deal with
uncertainty . There is never perfect
information. In fact if there is perfect
information even a clerk can make the
decisions a CEO does

who is happy with one’s own success .
 Integrated approach ( Knowledge of all fields like
Finance + Marketing + HR + IT + Operation Management)

5. Corporates select those MBA
Institutions that…
 Create proper environment to develop sense of
camaraderie and mutual respect - for workplace
success one needs to get everything done through
other people (team work), brilliant academic record
alone is not sufficient
 Focus on entrepreneurial approach (to treat
organization as one’s own )
 Train students to get jobs based on their MBA
qualification and not that of graduation degree.
 Teach 6Ps – Proper Prior Preparation Prevents Poor
Performance (‘Finishing School Concept’ – to make
students ‘Industry Ready’)

most reputed ones and ranked

B. Sc., B.Tech etc) & brand value of institute offering the same) }
 Quality of Experience (before joining MBA Course)
 Performance in campus interview (Knowledge, Skill and Attitude)
 Communication & Leadership Skills

skills” – Shiv Khera, Founder of Qualified Learning Systems

8. Payment Packages of MBA Students
in India (On Average)
 Average companies of India: 1.2 to 2.5 L

below average institutions even Rs Ten Thousand per month
salary is difficult to get )
 Good companies: 2.5 to 4 L
(For students of average MBA institutions)
 Top MBA institutions : 4.5 to 7 Lakhs ( By Renowned
Corporates only)

Note: Please don’t waste your precious time and hard earned
money for getting ‘just a degree’ that can’t get you even Rs Ten
Thousand per month salary. There are ‘so many’ better options .
