Is this the right time to take the MBA plunge? If yes where do I do it?




Two questions must have crossed your mind this year..
  • Is this the right time to quit my job and go for an MBA?
  • If yes, which Business school is the best one for me?

If you ask me, "Is this the right time for an MBA?". I would say an emphatic YES!!!

I feel this is the right time, because
1. MBA colleges are wooing students with sops - fee waivers/scholarships...
2. Employees need to up-skill to survive in a highly competitive world
3. Employment opportunities across all sectors have reduced
4. As per a survey (May 2020) companies are preferring generalist over specialists 
5. Entrepreneurship is ‘in’ thing now

To get into a good college. You need a good GMAT score and a profile showcasing your managerial and leadership capabilities.

The average GMAT score to get into a top B-school is 680. 

If you have a good profile you can get into a top college with a low GMAT score. Some student have got into a good college with a 640 in the GMAT.

If you profile is average, you need to improve your candidature by getting a high GMAT score. 720+ is a good score.

Feel free to contact me, we can have a chat and zero-in on the college which matches your profile. 

As per a recent survey by FT.com here are the top 50 colleges.

However, students look at a ROI. i.e Tuition fee vs Placements.
Lesser tuition fee .. Higher salary package

Keeping this in mind, these college offer value for money MBA courses.

A little bit about me.
