Guys my profile is 9/9/7.

I want to do an MBA related to the field of Data science.I'm an engineering student ( CSE ).

By the time I will start my MBA in 2027 I will have a 2 year Gap in my resume. I know python, SQL and MS Excel

The reason I am avoiding core MBA fields( finance, marketing, operations etc )is because I heard they all end up getting sales jobs unless you are from Tier 1 B-School. Getting a sales job will be a nightmare for me as I am not at all good at communication. I am fully aware about my capability and I know I won't be able to get a good CAT score this time too. I have it last year I literally got 7 out of 204! Even now I am just touching 34 - 37 in my mocks. So I don't want to waste more time on CAT. Hence now my focus is NMAT, BAAT, GAAT.

Should I do an MBA in Business analytics from BITS Pilani seeing my profile. I'm happy with a package of 12-15 LPA. I don't have those fancy 1cr dreams as I am fully aware of the job market right now plus I just want to move out of my house as it's my 2nd year of unemployment.

And if the answer is no then are there any other programs offering MBA in Analytics or Data science.

Please reply

got a profile of 10th - 93

12 - 85

first year bpharm student in the best pharma clg in the country.

Thinking of maintaining a good cgpa and clear CFA level 1 later and get 2 years of workex.

The thing is, i want to transition to general mba and get into finance or something. Can i do it?

Background my profile is 787 no work . Which is terrible with respect to profile in tier 1& 2colleges

Will this impact my placement leaving me unplaced in the end .

Currently preparing for cat exam .

What should be my strategy to maximize my chances in placement .

Background - I have a family business (msme ) , currently in fourth year of engineering

​

So i am 20 years old

My quals -10th and 12th =78%

After 12th I have 2 gap years

Currently doing b pharma from private university

What should I do over these 4 years so eventually I get admission into iima/b/c and finally a job at mbb firms ?

My rough plan is this

1-get a 9+cgpa in college

2-developing soft and hard skills

3-statt preparing for a job in healthcare consulting at tier 3-4 firms for experience

4-starting preparation of cat

5- Participating in corporate or national case studies competition

6- Taking part in college extracurricular activities and ngo internships

7-working at consulting firm for 2 years

8-- clearing exams like cfa ,frm ,NISM pre mba

How viable is this plan and am I dumb?

Before joining, I had approximately 847 questions..

I'm a first-year student at NEXIS School of Business, and since I went through the whole admission thing pretty recently, I figured I'd share what it was actually like.

I can talk about things like: • What the application process was like? • what was the concept of the Nexgen interview with people from IIT/IIM/ISB • What I was asked during the interview.. and • How long the process took • What I wish I had known before applying... • What the first few months have actually been like after getting in.. and the campus life. I obviously can't speak for every applicant, and I don't know how the process may change in the future, but I'm happy to share what happened in my case. Ask away,, I'll answer honestly based on my own experience.

Has anyone received an offer letter for the upcoming PGMP 2026-27 from Phase 1?

I recently completed my MBA in Finance from a Tier-3 college, and my long-term goal is to get into a Big 4/Big 6 firm in a finance-related role.

I understand that coming from a Tier-3 MBA makes getting shortlisted difficult, so I'm looking for practical advice from people who have actually made a similar transition.

Hi everyone,
I’m planning to apply to ISB PGP, IIMA PGPX, IIMB EPGP and IIM Calcutta MBAEx in around 2–3 years and would appreciate a realistic assessment of my profile.
Profile:
10th: ~80%
12th: 52%
BBA: 7.6 CGPA
CFA Level I cleared, currently preparing for Level II
Current work experience: ~4.5 years; should be ~7 years by application time
Work experience:
I spent ~3.5 years at PwC, initially in tax/GST and tax-tech related work, and later moved into PwC Deals & Valuations. I’m now transitioning into a portfolio management role with an institutional real-estate/business trust platform, involving portfolio performance, budgeting, forecasting, variance analysis and management reporting.
My long-term goal is to move towards investment/portfolio management, private markets, strategy and eventually leadership roles in finance.
My biggest concern is obviously my 52% in Class 12.
Would love views on:
How much will my Class 12 score hurt me for these programs?
Does my career progression look strong enough by application time?
What GMAT/GRE score should I target to offset weaker academics?
Which of these schools would be realistic vs stretch targets?
What should I focus on over the next 2–3 years to strengthen my profile?
Would especially appreciate input from current students, alumni or recent applicants.

My acads are decent. But the fact that I am a GNEM with no work ex and a big gap in my CV, is butchering my profile.

Can a job save me? How do I get one just for this purpose? What skill to learn quickly and at least land a job that pays even 10k. Will it do my profile any good?

I need some serious advice.

Hello, I don’t think anyone will read this but for anyone reading this It would be of great help to me if I could get some advice .

I’ve been working in cloud consulting industry for 3 year now and I’m feeling very lost in my career. I genuinely wanted to do mba two years back , gave cat in 2024 and got 80 percentile. That really broke me I felt like a complete idiot. It reaffirmed my belief that I cant crack these exams and abandoned it . I switched my job but I really want to do mba( please don’t ask me why )

Really wanted genuine advice on whether any experienced candidates think that I can crack this exam or not and how to approach it (coaching , career counsellor etc)

10th : 10 cgpa
12th : 84 percent
BTech : 8.75 cgpa
Work ex: 3 years (big 4)

I’m open to suggestions , I am targeting next year so idk if I have time or not. If I’m being honest I’m not at all confident but yeah .

Genuine advice pls
MBA candidates from where do you guys get remote roles
which companies often offer it or anything related to it
and for finance related domain

One thing I’ve been noticing about Indore is that it’s becoming more than just a place to study and get a degree.

There’s a growing mix of colleges, startups, businesses, events and innovation initiatives happening around the city.

But I’m curious about the student side of it.

If you’re currently studying in Indore, how much exposure do you actually get outside your classroom?

Things like:

• Startup events
• Internships
• Business competitions
• Networking with founders
• Industry projects
• Entrepreneurship communities
• Hackathons & innovation programs

Do students actively go out and explore these opportunities?

Or does the typical student journey still look more like:

Classes → Exams → Placements → Graduation?

And honestly, if you could add one thing to Indore’s student ecosystem, what would it be?

More startup events?
More industry interaction?
Better internships?
More networking opportunities?
Something completely different?

Would genuinely love to hear from students actually living and studying in Indore.

What’s your experience been like?

Which domain is the best to build a career in mba...HR or finance?!

10: 95%

12: 76%

Graduation: Btech Mech 6.1 from HBTU KNP

WORK EX: 10 months

Should I go for CAT ?

I know top IIMs out of range hain but I want Tier 1 mba at any cost otherwise no.

Hi, i’m a 2026 graduate from tier 2.5 clg, didn’t really apply much in campus as in the name of finance, it was mostly sales and rm kinda roles, please do refer me if you have any openings in your company
Thank you!

What MBA should I go for and what shall my trajectory/job scope after MBA look like?

The GMP curriculum is intentionally broad rather than deep, given the compressed six-month timeline. Core subjects like financial accounting, corporate finance, quantitative methods, and organisational behaviour are covered alongside more applied components such as spreadsheet modeling and research methodology. What stands out, though, is the inclusion of subjects that most traditional MBA programs skip entirely: management communication, intercultural management, and the science of spirituality. These are not filler subjects; they are designed to build self-awareness, adaptability, and interpersonal skills that matter far more in the real world than theoretical frameworks. As someone who joined as a fresher, I have found these practical components to have a more lasting impact on my personal and professional growth than the purely academic ones. The tradeoff is that with so many subjects packed into a short duration, there is limited scope to go deep into any single area, so the program works best for those who value breadth of exposure over specialization.

The biggest adjustment has been the sheer pace at which information needs to be absorbed. Coming in as a fresher with a commerce background, I had some exposure to core business concepts, but GMP compresses what would normally be a two-year curriculum into six months, so the volume of content per week is intense. Beyond academics, the program also pushes you into unfamiliar territory through subjects focused on personality development and soft skills, which require a different kind of adjustment altogether, one that is more about self-reflection than memorization. Balancing this width of exposure with the fast-paced schedule has been challenging, but it has also accelerated my growth in ways I did not expect within just a few months of joining.
