MBA/PGDM

It is not the only determining factor and a person with high CGPA has better chances of getting into in good colleges or company is not very true and is situation specific, I would elaborate this with some examples. As far as placements are concerned you need to score above a particular range (ex. 8 CPI and above for some companies) to appear for the process. As far as getting in a college for higher studies is concerned, it all depends on university and your overall profile. Again, for example if you have done some phenomenal research and published lots of material, you have given some TED talk and you are applying to IVY league University where you want to extend this research definitely, they are not going to underestimate you just because you have low CGPA. But definitely in certain scenarios it is high CGPA which at least gives you an opportunity in campus placements. Again, for example Mercedes Benz usually short lists top 5 students from each college (based on CGPA or aggregate %) and invites them for the recruitment process in their campus. Thus, if you don't stand in those top 5 no matter how much practical experience you have got, you can't even attend the interview process.

When pursuing an MBA, I believe that one should focus on the four main disciplines. These are Sales, Finance, Human Resources, and Operations. These are the most in demand and also the most frequently recruited for. Having said that, you can pursue an MBA in IT, and your college will not prevent you from doing so. However, you will face the following issues both during and after your MBA programme. You will have no foundation to build on. Database, programming, and project ideas are foreign to you. You'd have to build your foundation alongside the building. You will have to compete with IT and CS degree engineers who understand the fundamentals of IT. You'd have to work twice as hard to be as excellent as they are. You will need to persuade the recruiters that you are a suitable fit for them. Their clients will not consider your CV. They will have difficulty selling your Candidature to their clients, so they will be hesitant to hire you.
