Suggestions for the MBA program

by mitulvyas » Tue Nov 01, 2011 9:10 am
Hey, Friends,

I am planning for joining an MBA course in 2011 preferably in Finance (Banking) domain.
I have received my graduation from Engineering. But since last 3 years I have been working with Tata Consultancy Services (IT MNC in India) for the client State Bank of India (The largest Bank in India).

Please suggest me the best suitable courses around the globe.

Thanks,
Mitul Vyas

Hi

I know it is a big decision to go for an MBA abroad. To exact the colleges we need a lot of other information like post MBA goals, your GMAT score, your extra curricular, your post MBA preference of work location. Apart from these we need to know what kind of pedagogy you prefer. All these info-bits will allow us tell you a set which will suit you.

Normally the process is to guesstimate the GMAT score(if not taken) and come with a wish diagram.

To just know the best Bschools for finance, you can visit any dry ranking site.

Hi Alex,

Thanks a lot for your prompt response.

Well I'll elaborate my profile.

I've not taken GMAT yet. Giving on 29th of this month. But in all the mock tests I'm getting around 700. And I hope to receive the same or even better at final GMAT exam.

Extra-curricular activities:
Had been Vice-President at IEEE student chapter at college level.
Had organized various technical symposiums at college level.
I have been affiliated with a NGO working particularly with Blood Donation activity.

Future Plans:
I want to get affiliated with the banking sector only. And to fulfill that dream, I don't mind working anywhere.

I hope, these information would help out to make myself clear to you.

Please Suggest me accordingly.

Thank You,
Mitul Vyas.

Hi Mitul,

A gmat score above 700 is advisable if you aim for top schools. These top school ranking is available online. Since you are building your profile we thought to advise you in areas that you should eb focusing on now. In general most of the Indian applicants who apply for mba abroad are from engineering background with a good 4-5 years of work experience. So you would need to differentiate yourself from others. Start thinking what makes you unique and what's that 'hook' that will be key to your application. Make sure you follow the 'show rather than tell' principle so that the admissions committee could really understand your strengths and differentiating factors Although it is not just the work experience that counts but also what you did there like-what were your achievements, what initiative you took, what changes you drove in your workplace etc. So you need to ensure that in your years of work experience you have demonstrated the skills business schools are looking for. This could still put in a strong set of essays for you.

Hi

GMAT above 700 is good.

The hard part will be distinguishing yourself from the other thousand IT guys who also apply. You should therefore focus your story about your love for finance. Discuss not only what makes you a great IT guy, but on what makes you a different IT guy. To this end, any experiences where you demonstrated leadership and truly made a difference in the outcome of a project will help a great deal.

At second, choose your colleges wisely.

Apply in good number of colleges(8 is good).

If you need any specific help, mail me.
