How can one get into consulting
Tier 2 mba college. Mom engineer. Should pick up a course or something? Suggestions and comments welcome!

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.
