Business Case Competition (BCC)

I’m going to join an MBA college this year. I’ve 2-3 months of available time before the session begins in either June or July 2024. Currently, I’m learning Excel and PowerPoint as recommended by almost everyone I’ve asked for advice. Besides this what skills, certifications etc. should I learn in order to enhance my CV(My major specialisation is going to be in marketing). I’ve also got to know that certifications don’t have much value since you cannot mention those in your CV. So is there anything I can do as of now which will help me to strengthen my CV. Please don’t tell me to relax and chill because my academics are below average and I’m going to face issues during my MBA journey so I want to utilise these 2 - 3 months in a productive way so that it gives me headstarts for my MBA journey. Also any advice on how to make the most of my MBA journey, including specific actions to be taken during the program with a focus on achieving a successful placement would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in Advance!!!

Hi, Need some advice guys. I am currently working in oracle as a software developer since 2 years. I like the work but I want to expand my horizon and move into management roles and am interested in doing a global MBA from a reputed institute preferably Ivy League. But I was told by someone that the global market is very bad and to get roles like Management Consultant and PE/VC, I need some finance/analytics background. So should I switch to same role in a bank like Goldman Sachs to get little finance knowledge. Please let me know if this information is true. Thanks.

Hello! I'm standing at a career crossroads and could really use some perspective. Profile : -YOE-3yrs. -2 years in a technical role and - 1year working as a Project manager in a well known MNC. - Graduated from a well-known T-2 college engineering college. I've always wanted to be in a managerial role. I feel like I'd definitely do better in such a role, in the long run. I'm considering going for an MBA at ISB, but – the idea of taking on a 45-lakh loan is giving me pause. Coming from a middle-class background, it's a significant financial commitment. Plus, the job outlook for Product roles is fuzzy, and I'm not entirely sold on the consulting scene either. The big question is whether an MBA from ISB would really pay off. If you've gone through a similar decision-making process or have insights, navigating a career shift post-MBA, or just general advice on making a call like this, I'd love to hear what you have to say.

It’s quite expensive to pursue one, but I’m worried not doing it will stagnate my career long term. Any views on whether I should apply (4yrs work experience currently, have worked in a boutique consulting firm previously). Any help will be sincerely appreciated!!

Just wanted to know if your top B schools in India actually are worth the money you’re ready to shell out or is it something that’s just gold covered ***. Incase of doing an MBA any recommendations at what stage in my career should I go for one and which schools should I apply for ? 👽

MBA folks..recent and past graduates need your opinion on BITSOM and Masters Union. are they as good as they claim? reputation in job market? worth joining or to repeat? CAT score 97.29 Any other extra information and other college information are most welcomed. (Also need help in GDPI prep if anyone can help out with certain queries and even conduct a mock interview, it would be of immense help)

Is it good to take part in management festing teams in college in different clubs? Or is it just a waste of time

How important is it to get an MBA for an overall network and growth perspective? I have an experience of 3 years at a series A startup, I now feel my growth flatlining. Would it be better if I go for an MBA or if I go to a different startup? My profile is not the best in terms of grades (not bad either but 90% in 10th and 12th and 7 CGPA in college- BA Hons) Will ISB admit be possible given I crack a great GMAT score? I’m unsure if the Acads will hamper it. Please upvote so that it reaches relevant folks for help. Thanks!
