Sir , I m a 23 years old and a graduate in bcom.. currently I m preparing for ca intermediate but after multiple attempts I m not able to clear it.. will MBA be an good option for me considering if I start my preparation now

Ans: I believe so yes. I have had quite a few students who after not being able to clear their CA exams when on to do an MBA and landed up with good jobs. Example - a student who was trying for 3 years for CA, gave up and wrote CAT got into TAPMI and managed to get a job at Deloitte post his MBA. He was happy with his job. I have also had students who gave up doing CA and managed to get into top colleges including top IIMs like IIM ABC.

Question by Manali - May 15, 2024Hindi

Career

Hello Sir..i m 33 yr engineer mommy to 2.5 yr daughter..want to do an MBA from tier 1 college. After graduating i was lecturer in engineering colg hv 2 years of experience n after that working in govt Bank from past 7 years. Gave CAT twice but time constraint n toddler was not able to crack.last year got finalised for NMIMS hyderabad but dint took admission as away from mumbai n not that great bschool.going to give cat this year as ladt chance but i m very very confused n stressed that should i go for it or not, m having age barrier ,a growing kid,offc n home work pressure, managing all this i could hardly make time of 2/3 hrs to study with low energy..i thought of executive mba but was thinking doin executive taking so much risk wil actually land me where? Also as d growing age n 9-5 job health hampers sometimes with backaches n end of day i think that is my decision really worthy,shud i really go fr it or settle wid what i hv, in short m trying to jump from comfort zone to competitive world where i il b having colleages 10 yrs younger n smarter than me..but i get a kick wn i c womens sparking high.can u plz guide me sir taking my decision?

Ans: I believe instead of looking for 2 year full time MBA course, try for Executive MBA course from some of the top IIMs or XLRI or ISB. You would have to write the GMAT which requires less amount of preparation as compared to CAT. Minimum work experience required for doing Executive MBA is around 5 years. So the others would also be of similar age.

Sir I am Btech (EEE) graduate passed out in 2014 ..since 2016 I am working in a psu.earning 25 LPA .now I am carrying sir..and also living in semi urban area..after one year is it possible to pursue MBA from top colleges and how it will be helpful in my career development means of package ,life style etc compared to my present job ( job in govt power generation sector,located in remote area, low chances of getting promotions ,less work pressure)

Ans: Your salary of 25 lpa looks good for a rural posting. Plus you have a secured job. Unless you are quite aspirational, would recommend you to continue in your job.
If you want fast growth then can do Executive MBA from one of the top colleges. Usually students with 5 to 15 years of work ex do Executive MBA. You will have to write GMAT exam for the same.

My son wants to do a program in undergrad in USA combining computer science and designing . What kind of majors he can choose, what are good universities for these programs .

Ans: I suggest you not to send him for under-graduate programme to USA. Let him be admitted to some reputed college/university of India for Computer/Electronics/Electrical Engg and let him go for f post-graduation ( i.e. MS from USA which is called graduation in USA). For Computer Engg one of the very good Universities is Georgia Tech, apart from that Texas A & M is there. Stanford and MIT are exceptionally good but for that his academic track record and GRE score have to be excellent.

My monthly household expenses are 12500. My income is 35000 p.m. Please guide me so that I can retire at age 60 with atleast some Pride.

Ans: Hi..please pay off your loans as soon as possible. Especially credit card loan. Your debt service to income ratio should never exceed 35% of your income. In your case it is 61.43% which is extremely high. You may consider refinancing your loan or arrange for any additional income source.
