Christ University Bangalore Answered Questions

The scope for an MBA in operations in India are immense. Why did you ask this fundamental question? I know many companies such as L&T Engineering, TVS motors, Zuari group, Bosch are some examples and scores of other cos have recruited/are hiring freshly minted MBAs for their operations. Banks such as Yes Bank also hire for their operations. There is lot of scope besides other functions/disciplines like general management roles, sales & marketing, finance, consulting and so on. There are product management roles also in technology cos. But it is paramount that you graduate from a good MBA school, preferably in top 30 schools. The average salary for operations will be about 12 lacs per annum, of course depending on the MBA school you graduated and the company you are hired.

Yes, it may impact as many leading companies that visit campus for placement due put in conditions on the minimum required of score at graduation level exams. This is done by them more from a screening perspective so that they get the right mix of academically brilliant guys. However, many companies are open on this front and are keener on looking at a student's performance for MBA, his/her project assignment and performance at the personal interview. So remain positive and do your best in MBA and at the internship / project level. You can't change your past but control your present and on its foundation build your future.

A telephonic interview goes on pretty much like a personal interview. The interviewer will want to know about you and since they cannot see you, they will assess you based on your confidence in the way you answer them. You might get questions regarding your previous course, your subjects, your interests, general awareness, current affairs etc. They will try to see if you fit into this structure. That's about it.
