Curse of Being an MBA Student. Not really


Hey guys. First blog (courtesy my MBA programme) and i took up a topic (please tolerate with me) you all must have wondered after taking MBA especially if you are not from A top B. School. We join MBA and the most common word my friends say is we are Cursed.  

The bitter reality if you are not from top 10 B schools the placement scenario is tough, but on positive side all other B.Schools are almost same so we (yes i am an Amitian) are all at level platform.

Same average packages, same sales profiles, same sitting through n- no of interviews and same cursing that why we came here. At one time like engineering, MBA was considered very precious but not now.

Yes we all have taken MBA at times when jobs and packages are poor and market scenario is degrading day by day. Yes all that we learn in our B School the infrastructure is not what we saw on T.V ads( but hey that's their marketing strategy and we bought it). But MBA isn't all that Bad if you take its positive aspects.

What i have learned after 1 year of MBA is that only our experiences, our own efforts, our contacts, extra curricular activities and maximum interaction with industry and yes a good dosage of luck does wonders. MBA is after all a Management degree. How well we manage ourselves in any B. School is what helps us.

People say MBA is bad, i say where else will you study with a "biotech professional", an "IT engineer", a "Textile professional",an "air-hostess",an "ubiquitous banker", an "M.B.B.S. or a Pharma guy". So you get to meet diverse people. And the Batch is usually the most appealing aspect , most guys drool over the MBA girls, and MBA guys are considered most well dressed.

For me MBA is a sea of practical learning, meeting new people, you have maximum time to get indulged in other extra curricular activities. Trust me i am an engineering student and MBA appears a cake walk in terms of academics in front of Engineering. I agree that MBA IS A ROLLER COASTER RIDE. How well you enjoy this roller coaster is your choice
So guys with this belief that we all would do something good despite the regular cursing of our  MBA degree.Its an open Page for all MBA alumnus/aspirants, MBA students and MBA pass-outs.

Any comments suggestions on MBA related experiences, summer internship positives(or negatives with censored cursing) are welcomed here. Look out for another post soon(i hope i will post something interesting next time).

  1. MBA is a blessing in disguise.The trick is to understand and identify the blessing and realize how its disguised. Personally,I feel our attitude towards our job and the discipline we follow while doing tasks at hand defines us better than the mba degree.

    Its a pretty interesting topic to discuss on.Lets see what others have to say.

  2. True bro. Its the attitude and how much of benefit you can extract out of it is all that matters
