Anything for example McKinsey way of thinking where I get certificates aligning me with consultancy.
I recently came across Global Governance Initiative and Indian Public Policy school something. Check them out on LinkedIn
Global governance initiative seems like a scam tbh
I don't know man. I was impressed with their LinkedIn. Some candidates went to samaggra some even joined mbb
To tell you a harsh truth about joining a Big Consultancy firm, you need to be passed-out from IIM or IIT or any other Top B-School in India. The other way you can enter is if you switch from a renowned company to them, it's either these two.
I know two people who joined like this, one was the first way another was the second way. They don't care if you are highly competent for the role unless you have history working or studying in top companies or b-school.
Read case studies in strategies everyday
Operations and supply chain case studies are hard
Market entry acquisition these type will be asked if you have experience in service based industry
Read case interviews IIM placecomm books
Dont waste money and time on courses
Keep applying with experience
I got placed in consulting role big4 with mba but I prepared case studies only
Sorry to say, some side courses won't be enough to get you into McKinsey. (Or even BCG or Bain)
You'll need stellar academic scores from Tier 1 colleges (both ug and pg) or as a lateral, you'll need to have experience in tier 1 companies.
Tier 1 MBA Tier 1 UG Blue Chip Work Ex - Eg. Unilever, Honeywell etc. Partner Referral
Largely these are the major sources for getting into McKinsey. They are looking for pedigree and raw talent rather than certifications or any such things
