Hello

I am 28 yrs old and have done my MBA from a local B-School in 2005, specialising in Operations and Supply Chain Management. Prior to this I have done my Mechanical Engg.

I have got 4 years of work exp. And in course of this I have covered and touched upon most of the aspects of Supply Chain and Operations.

Now I want to pursue my MBA - 1 year program so that I can move to general management, marketing and strategy. Further I want to use this skill for my own venture which I will be looking to start in another 10 yrs time.

Would it be advisable to do the same. Would my previous MBA affect my selection.
Which B- Schools should I look at, which can help me achieve this.

I will be starting to study for GMAT soon and will be looking to take the 2011 programs offered.

Really looking forward to you advice.

Thank you

Warm Regards
Paresh

Dear Paresh,

If you received a MBA equivalent to a U.S. MBA, then you are not eligible to enroll in another MBA program. Schools will not award a degree to someone that already has the degree. However, you need to verify if your current degree is equivalent or not as it is possible that is equivalent to a U.S. MS degree. In the event your MBA is equivalent to a U.S. MBA, then you will need to either consider a different graduate program or focus on making a career switch.

Good luck,
Lisa

Hi Lisa

Would this be applicable to only MBA programs in US. Or is this applicable for 1 Yr MBA programs across Europe and Asia.

Warm Regards
Paresh

Paresh,

Many schools in the EU also follow this policy. I would suggest contacting your target schools for clarification as you might find some that will allow you to enroll and others that will not.

Regards,
Lisa

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
