Shiksha Top Questions

Yes, it is one of the toughest decision which a student has to take during his/her study time. First thing is faculty. There must be good faculty members no matter whether he or she is from a top college or not. You should know about their experience in the teaching field. I can say without a doubt that degrees don't matter when it comes to faculty. How interested and motivated the teacher is something that counts.
Second is practice time. See on how much time coaching can give for practice and is there any doubt clearing cell or not.
Past results: Well, past performance is no guarantee for the future. It is not even a useful way of assessing how good or bad a coaching institute is. It is just a reflection how good or bad their marketing has been and have they been able to attract good talented students in the past?
Quantity of content: How many classes are there in the course? The content is of how many hours? Will there be 2 classes a week or 5 classes a week? This means that you just need to ask one question, does it cover the entire CAT syllabus?

First of all, education loan in India comes with its own terms and conditions. Basically, the bank or the financial company suggests to repay the amount by 5-10 years that generally starts after a year after the completion of the course or six months after you get a job which one is faster. It depends on the candidate that what package he/she gets after the completion of the course and depending upon that he/she must decide that how many years he/she should need to recover the loan. The candidate may also prefer to choose a long period of time to repay the loan and after that if he/she thinks that he /she don't need that long period of time to repay then the candidate may talk with the bank or financial company to revise the terms and conditions and make the repayment time shorter. Afterall, it's the candidate who decides that how many years and what amount of EMI he/she needs to pay. I guess I am able to clear your doubts.
Thank you.

Though there is no thumb rule and there have been cases where students with an excellent academic and professional track records have managed to get into the top business schools with very little work experience, there are reasons why we recommend spending a few years getting a decent amount of real-world experience before you decide to take a plunge into the international MBA world.
For domestic Indian MBA programs, pre-MBA work experience is not the primary criterion and you can proceed with it immediately after graduation.
However, the process is quite different for an international MBA program. Here you need to leverage your pre-MBA work experience highlighting your meritorious achievements, professional accomplishments and leadership qualities at work.
Business schools look out for potential candidates who can add value to their school and also benefit the most from the program. So if you want the B-School to consider you as a suitable candidate, you need to have some industry knowledge and hands-on experience in your chosen career field.
An international MBA is not just about learning business concepts or skills through theory. It tends to be practical and collaborative in nature with an emphasis on teamwork and insights into the real business world.
There are the group projects, role-playing, simulations, case discussions to mention a few.
The case study method in business schools is popularly used for teaching various subjects. It revolves around a real-life scenario with some issue or problem faced by a company with a lot of actual data and facts provided.
You are required to evaluate it, use your knowledge and judgement based on your previous experience and present your opinion on how you would tackle the situation.
Through these various interactive sessions, you get to know diverse points of view which give you different perspectives of handling various corporate situations. You should be in a position to partake in these discussions and not feel completely lost.
The MBA journey can be a mutual learning experience if each student is able to gain (and provide) significant inputs from/to the class.
If you have completed over three years working at the time of applying, you can share your experiences and add some spice and flavour to your MBA essays and a thoughtfully created resume.
