Asking for a friend

Any recommendations for good private MBA college in NCR. Cat score was on the lower side, and so was XAT and SNAP. NMAT at 197, MAH CET - 82 percentile.

Overall at a tough spot. 

Was thinking of going for Amity Noida / Asian Business School / Jaipuria. 

He is a NON GEM, B.Com graduate. 

Also if not MBA he is looking to get a job but  is unsure what should he purse since he is just a B.Com grad from a government college. 

Please HELP and advice.

Hey, I'm currently 23 years old  earning a decent 12l.pa with 2.5 years of work ex

I currently do not enjoy my job, constant stress  anxiousness, can't work here for another day.

Planned to do my MBA and preparing for CAT this year and also putting my papers down in a couple of days.

I can keep my notice a week, but then again I won't have a job in hand and will lose work ex. Need some valuable advise here.

Customer success

I'm an arts major working in the communications space, planning to do an MBA. I've GMAT focus books and English seemed doable on my own. I've been using online resources to study Math but I'm very confused as to what to study and how to study. So I've decided to go for a coaching but I've no idea which coaching is actually good, especially for someone who doesn't come from engineering or other Math background. Jamboree is charging over a lakh for coaching plus counselling on admissions while there's Y axis which is charging much lower at about 50k but doesn't have many reviews. I also read reviews on Jamboree being the typical marketing institute and not worth for money. Has anybody actually taken up or know anyone who has taken up GMAT coaching that helped them? It's critical I start preparing now if I have to start my MBA in 2025. As there are a lot of business folks here, I would appreciate any genuine help you can send this way. Thank you

You can legit get that knowledge from youtube too, but companies won’t consider


P.S. I am from Tier 2 MBA so cant diss me

Opinion: If you are doing MBA from tier 2 or below, you are just paying for the deg certificate

Are there any grapeviners out there who have gotten admissions into tier 1 MBA institutes? 

Can you help me out with some advice - i’m looking to attempt the CAT and GMAT later this year and am from a marketing and creative background.

MBA Guidance

I need some advice. 

1. I am a fresher and am considering giving the CAT exam this year. 
2. Currently working as a data science intern and frankly, not enjoying it a bit. I dread debugging. I also feel everyday that AI can easily do 75% of my work. 
3. I want some business side roles, thinking I won't have to stare at a screen all day, fixing bugs. 

What roles can I expect after doing a MBA, is it worth the extra 2 years and the money, and if you are someone who can relate to my situation, what are some of the things you enjoy about your work and some things which you absolutely hate. 

I might have completely wrong expectations, so please feel free to correct me.

Life after MBA

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

Hey all, I'm currently working at a boutique consulting firm, which pays well (~1.3 years) but has terrible working hours. I am planning to take CAT this year (already preparing for 2-3 months). Since CAT is just 90 days away I am thinking of quitting my job or at least putting in a notice period (as it will reduce my workload and expectations from me) and focusing on CAT for the days left.
I don't think l'll be able to give 100% effort to the CAT exam in my current job scenario. Also, are there any alternative suggestions from folks in the same industry or anyone, by which I can get some time off (maybe medical leave for 20-30 days) or something which will give me time to prepare without quitting?

22 y/o planning to quit job for CAT exam - suggestions?

Context: I am into Marketing, Age 30. I can’t afford to leave my job due to some responsibilities. I feel career growth has become stagnant because I don’t have MBA. 

Would you suggest me to do Online MBA? Is there any other way?

I came across a few quora posts that described how Master's union is a sham and figures are inflated. Is it true? The date to apply is closing on 10th Jan. Shall I give it a try?

How is Master's Union?

Should I go for MBA in top 10 b schools india like IIMs, XLRI, SPJAIN, etc

So a little background about myself. 

I graduated in 2023 from a tier college and managed to get an off-campus job in an investment bank as an SDE. 

My current salary is 24LPA.

Would it be beneficial for me to do MBA from the above mentioned colleges

Like would the placements there be better than what I have currently? 

Also if I can save enough money in 2 years would a MBA in US in a top 20 uni be better than MBA in IIM? 

I will be going for further studies sometime in 2025 or 2026.

My main goal is to improve my salary and build a network. 

I have also managed my own dev agency and did freelance projects in the past 4 years. 

If anybody has gone through the same please let me know your experience. 

This also applies to MTech/MS as well

Thank you.

Should I go for an MBA?

Hello,
I am currently a 3rd year computer engineering student from a 3rd tier college,
The average package here is around 3.2L,
I am not confident enough to land this package and I am confused should I start preparing for CAT now or should I focus on my placements preparations, I don't know whether I will be able to get a good college as I don't have any experience,
Suggestions would help :)

MBA or JOB

I'm starting a new company and am assembling a team, in all my previous startups had like 7 people working but now everyone is settled and few have retired coz made too much from the exits so back to assembling a new team :p

As in all my previous startups I paid an average of 40Lpa an 2-3% ESOPs to all the early team they made insane wealth. But now I'm thinking of going lower and meet the realities of the market rather than paying higher why not paying the market rate?

I have been taking multiple interviews and experienced this people consider higher salaries to be a lie they want to earn dirt-cheap salaries and don't trust themselves with what they deserve and in the end ended up mocking me. One of the senior people that I interviewed thought 3lakhs per month was very high no-one pays that much. Same goes for an intern who I decided to pay 1lakh per month thought it's not possible and ghosted me thinking I'm scamming him ( his job was to meet high profile people make connection with different founders by going to parties and events regularly )!

My new startup is not in crypto but in something unique!

What do you'll think should I pay people less as that's what they think they deserve?

Paying higher / lower in Indian Startup scene

Need some guidance for preparing for GMAT and CAT together in coming months. I have this understanding that pattern is different but underlying syllabus is same. 
Need nuances to some questions
1. Is this practically possible?
2. What materials to use for preparation 
3. How much time is needed for GMAT and will there be sufficient time for CAT
4. Which test series to follow in CAT and GMAT

Some context: Giving CAT and GMAT first time. No issues regarding mindset needed for competitive exams as have given them before. Also have mostly weekends for preparation due to job profile.
