What, where and how you study matter a lot in defining your career after an MBA. So, how do you choose the one that suits you the best? Here are some professional tips…
You are in your final year of graduation or have already graduated. Amongst all the higher education choices, a Master of Business Administration (MBA) program tops your list of your future career goals. You are in search for an MBA program that launches you in the corporate world or upgrades your skill set for the next better job. So what are your expectations from the MBA program? Naturally, you might be considering many factors to evaluate the right program for you. And they could be an appropriate mix of a few objective touchstones and also a few very subjective ones based on your individual choices. So, here are some of the factors that you may consider to add to your list of evaluation criteria of choice.
Career goals alignment
Two main things you need to consider are: first, what do you want to do for the next two years, and secondly, what you want to do after these two years? These are important questions you need to ask yourself as they will help you decide the MBA program that gets aligned to your career goals. Not all MBA programs will be good at everything, for example, some produce good marketing professionals and other good human resource professionals.
Batch size
The batch strength of an MBA program matters a lot: it impacts your program experience, your networking opportunities, your leadership opportunities, your faculty and other departmental connects and probability of getting a good job as the competition becomes tough. Though larger batch sizes attract more companies, smaller batch strengths offer a more personalized, individualized experience. An ideal batch strength should be around 120 like in case of our university.
