Great to have your comment. What made you think that you shouldn’t go for MBA? I dropped you an email as well.

Great write up.
I liked the “When not to do MBA” part.
So I guess I should not do an MBA.

This post is good for MBA aspirants. I want to add my view :- MBA is not the course for passion or money only. It is the course of effectiveness, attitude, commitment and overall improvement of a person. Before joining MBA one should ask himself why MBA? Why not others? I will honestly say that if you plan about MBA think more, analyze more.

Finally if u don’t get chance of top B schools no matter, if you have planned to do u will.

Happy MBA

Also the exposure that you get in these great institutes are great. I have learned so much from some of my professors who happened to be from industry, their on-job experiences were great and beyond a book description. If you ever do correspondence, you will miss all these. If you go to smaller institutes you (might) miss all these.

>> its the institute from where yo get the degree matters
If you look deeper, its the quality of input that matters. In XLRI or IIMs the input is of very high quality, all they do is just give these top minds a fine touch. Also when you are with a group of great minds you tend to improve highly (in attitude atleast). All the good institutes get a mix of students (age diversification, cultural diversification, educational diversification, gender diversification etc) to allow mutual sharing of diversified experiences.

honestly was waiting for this post for quite some time…

MBA is a very useful to degree to have when one is starting his/her career, but its not that everyone should be doing it….people still dont know that just having a MBA degree wont help you to get good jobs…its the institute from where yo get the degree matters…if you pass our from XLRI or IIM’s, you are bound to get good jobs.
