MBA!!

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.

Management Consultant

I've heard lots of conflicting good and bad viewpoints on ISB on Grapevine and otherwise. I want to explore these things more and build a balanced perspective.

Good things I've heard:-
1. Average comp is decently high as most of the batch has a decent amount of experience.
2. Professors, their way of teaching and the actual course content is one of the best in India.
3. The network is really strong, easily accessible via many channels and helps alumni land jobs frequently.

Bad things I've heard:-
1. Placement comp numbers are heavily inflated.
2. Resume shortlisting in placements is hard because everyone exaggerates a lot and there's no resume vetting.
3. Many people go unplaced.

How much of this (good or bad) is true? Any other good or bad points?

How good/bad is ISB?

Software Developer

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

I cleared ISB stage 1 today, I need your insights to decide whether to go for an MBA in India or MiM abroad wrt ROI, career growth and trajectory. Where will I make more money considering it’s a very important factor 
I want to get into IB/Consulting/PEVC

ISB vs MiM

I'm starting to prepare for GMAT with target school as ISB. I have some questions where I need some guidance.

If you're from ISB, I would like to talk to you in DM. It would really help in my journey. Thanks in advance!

Is anyone from ISB here? Need some guidance for GMAT

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. 

What was your study / coaching situation like? Did you go to coaching classes and which ones are good? Are online coaching classes good, did any of you take that?

How hard is it to get into ISB and is it worth it?

Need guidance and how you are preparing for GMAT

Any GMAT aspirations here?

I have been working as a Software engineer since the past 2 years (work from home), but now I will have to shift. 
I have been thinking about going for an Mba since last year and will be self-prepping, since I have the basics (I did prepare last year) I am confused on the course for preparation
I've been thinking to go full on with Mocks and tests for the time remaining (I'll start the prep now)

People who have been in similar situation, what mock test series did you find accomodating and flexible ? I would want to have as much flexibility in mock tests because some days I can devote 4-5 hrs, but some days it would be lesser. 
I've come across SIMCATs, AIMCATs and CatKing's mock series. Are they good ?

Hello community,
I'm planning for the GMAT and wanted to know how you guys prepared for the same. Any advice on planning? What should be the score to aim if I want to get into the top 10 B schools in the US?

Not very confident about my english/quant/exam writing skills as it's been 6 years since I prepared for IIT JEE (last competitive exam). Would love to hear if you have similar experiences

And what percentile should I aim for getting admission in old IIMs.

Thanks in advance.

Growth Manager

I am an IIT grad, with 8 years of work experience. I come from a small town in India. I have been an extremely hard working (and #ambitiouschap) always. I would get married within next 2 years. I earn decent money. The only reason I want to pursue an MBA from an Ivy league is that it's my dream. Tried 2 GMAT attempts for regular MBA a few years ago, but couldn't even score 700 (anxiety issue before the exam - twice!)
My objective from MBA is not a career acceleration, role-pivots, or entrepreneurship etc. (HBS, Wharton, Stanford - these schools give me goosebumps somehow). I just to wish to add a tag to my profile, that's it. Can anyone relate to what I am trying to say here please?

Guidance on Executive MBA from Ivy league.

Has anyone here prepped for GMAT? I'm looking to appear by the end of this year and looking for suggestions for test series so I can practice mocks. Please share resources where I can get good analysis as well. TIA. Happy weekend!
