Its true that all that glitters is not always gold. I would like to correlate this phrase with the mushrooming MBA colleges in India and how they are playing with a student’s career. With the ever growing number of MBA colleges in India its a real hard time for every MBA aspirant to decide where to nurture their future as this is not just a degree but would be the platform on which they would be taking their career to a new hike. Even I am a MBA aspirant and have the same dreams in my eyes as every aspirant has and I also faced the same difficulties like others. That was” Which Would Be The Best College For Me??”
The story goes on like this -
I didn’t get a very high percentile in CAT…though I was expecting it to be good !! I had no other option but to apply in some average B-School with an Ok type placement. I wanted to join a B-school this year only as I was not satisfied with my job. My search began…and finally I got calls from some average schools.I was happy as I had heard that the placements were good in those colleges.
Till that time I had made up my mind that I would be joining that institute. The school was also good infrastructure wise with a fees of around 5.3L. I thought I would manage it anyway but would go for it. Before the admission I went to the the Institute to just have a chat with the seniors and know more about the college. From the entrance starting from the guard to the Admission Incharge everybody was speaking the same language.We have 100% placement with an average salary of 6L and highest of 10L.I was satisfied with the feedback until I met a guy who was a final year student of the Institute. I just asked him about the placement as he was the one who would be appearing for the placement. Initially he denied to say anything, I was surprised why he was behaving like that..then finally he insisted me not to go for that college as it was a total wastage of time. Though the college was claiming for 100% placement but they were hardly able to get a job for 80% of the student. Not only that, the package that was being offered was the CTC( Cost To Company) not the amount they would be getting in hand. The CTC included Medical Insurance , the bonus that they would be getting if and only if they perform something excellent, the rent of the area that they would be given as their workstation and many more and the list was endless…..
I was shocked to know this and that time I promised myself that I would give my best and give myself a second chance to bell the CAT and get into IIMs. So, friends don’t go with the rumours, try to get to the depth as this is your career and don’t let anyone play with it.
All the best !!
