Hi,

I am working as an IT engineer for last 10 years in India. I am planning for an MBA after securing a good score in GMAT. Please let me know if I get a opportunity in a one of the good MBA college, then in 2/1 year MBA do I need to do the MBA on IT/systems or can I change my track to some other stream such as finance/marketing?

Regards,
Pallab Dhara

Dear Pallab,
Well I think if you CAN get a finance or marketing job, go for it!
But usually that is the difficulty!

If you get a good score in your GMAT, you will be able to get into a good school. Now, once you get in, who knows what will happen!

However, stating the goal of wanting to move into Finance from IT is a VERY bad idea. It's not logical and not plausible. Plus everyone wants to do it (it does pay pretty well after all

)

So I would suggest that for the purposes of your application, YES you come up with an IT track. However once you get in, it will be up to YOU to make whatever change you desire happen.

Anyhow, if you have any further questions, why not shoot us over an email, or drop by for a Free Consultation: https://admissionado.com/free-consultati ... n=mba_blog

Best,

"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."
