GITAM School of Business Visakhapatnam Answered Questions

Hi,
I am also an engineer and this is misconception about the MBA - Finance and Engineering. Engineers are more likely to go higher than any non engineer in MBA Finance because we guys study it from beginning and have great basics skills developed after MBA in Finance whereas Non Engineers don't focus on basic. Secondly, It will be sure difficult as portion for study but not impossible. I have asked many Finance Corporate about this everyone said that they will prefer engineers because of Technical, analytical and Mathematical skills. So, I would recommend you to go for MBA Finance and if you want to trail then read 11th and 12th Accounts books of Commerce you will understand the difficulty level.

Hello,
Foreign Language: It has its own aura and fascination. It evokes awe. But for those into this, it's hard grind. Particularly the talking practice, listening practice are quite tough. Of course these days U-tube helps in polishing these skills but then nothing can compare live practice.It's a good to think of doing some course related to the history or culture or politics of the country of that language. It's great asset while teaching or while involved in translating activity. Perspective is a great leveler. If we have this then the balance of rationality kicks in and one starts having empathy for the language. Even a trip to all parts of the country of that language can teach many things. All round perspective and knowledge of the language as well as country of language needs to be learnt simultaneously while learning the language.
