Business Management Studies

Hello,
There are basically 4 sections in MBA entrance exam - Verbal Ability, DILR, Quants and GK-
Verbal Ability:
Start reading newspaper daily to increase your reading speed and grasping power. It will also help you to get in touch with basic vocab don't miss out the editorial page. Do a proper analysis of articles on the editorial page. Try to make a summary of articles that you read para by para. You can switch to the book called WORD POWER MADE EASY by NORMAN LEWIS. DILR
The best thing to score in LR-DI is to practice more questions on a daily basis so you understand which sets you should leave and before attempting the sets what are the things you should look for. I would suggest this book 'Puzzles by George J Summers'. Quants
This section is one of the most scoring section for student and you too should try to get maximum marks in this section. It has a proper syllabus and you need to practice each and every chapter. The major topics are- Geometry, Arithmetic, Algebra, Number System and Modern Math. It is basically the math that you have studied till the tenth standard. However, having said that, the questions are not really easy. Focus more on Arithmetic and Algebra as these two are the most important topics. GK
Read newspaper daily for current affairs and go for Lucent for static GK. Good luck.

Hello,
I sometimes get candidates who are foreign nationals who want to stop work and attend an executive programme full time, sometimes for the purposes of trying to transition into the USA. The programs that offer full-time "EMBAs" for the more experienced candidates are Stanford MSx (their equivalent of the executive MBA) and the MIT Sloan Fellows programme. Older/ more seasoned applicants can also sometimes fare well in the Kellogg 1-year MBA programme and the Cornell Johnson 1-year MBA programme. INSEAD (it means bring together) is also more open to older candidates in its regular MBA programme, as are some Canadian schools. The others who have posted here are right, that technically most of these are not called Executive MBA programs, but they function as the equivalent because you are not disqualified for being older, with lots of experience and an executive profile. And these programs provide the full-time experience. Hope that helps.
