I am Ravi. I am 32 currently teaching aspirants for competitive exams in my small coaching setup where income is very less. I have done Bachelors in Eco Hons in 2013 and Masters in Defence in 2019. I want to enter into corporate for which I thought Full time 2 years MBA as a pathway. Wrote XAT, got interview calls from some decent colleges but in GDPI, my age gap became an issue always. I was also told that my CV shortlist chances will be very low during campus placements. Only one college gave me their non core program but getting negative response from many sides I am sceptical of my placement as batch size is also very big. It's a big investment of time and money too. I will be 34 during placements. Deep down my heart now I really want to work now rather than only again classroom study. I started working only in 2022. I want to ask if there's anyway I can get corporate job while pursuing online MBA or any other relevant certification? Or taking risk of expensive full time MBA? Many people have told me to go for Executive MBA but I don't have enough relevant experience
