“Learning is run on questions” they say. The big question that catches up with the MBA dilemma of many fresh grads these days is “Should we or shouldn't we ?” (Pursue online MBA course now). The puzzle apart, one feels the question itself tells us how important the management degree is. Otherwise why should the MBA get into your mind at all? Nevertheless don't get caught behind. Let's see a more precise picture.

  • Pursuing the Passion

    If you feel that a career in management is your motive, you shouldn't hesitate to take the plunge. Pursuing MBA gives you the much awaited chance to do what you are passionate about. Hitherto various factors like parental pressure or peers advice could have influenced your course of studies. But here’s the fallback (perhaps never after) chance to turn to what excites you the most. Yes! You’re at the crucial milestone in your academic journey. This is not the only reason why an MBA degree is the best fit for a fresher:

    1. For freshers, getting into MBA course amounts to extension of the current learning process.
    2. Still in the academic makeup, they grasp the concepts and gravitate to learning rigour faster.
    3. Fresh graduates are more open to innovative solutions.
    4. Passed out, freshers possess innovative outlook to meet the challenges.

    Renjith and Rekha are two freshers who aspire a career in business models. It would be interesting to know their perception about joining the MBA course after graduation. Here are the excerpts

    Generally speaking, freshers are keen to pursue a career in management and are engaged in search of the right place to do MBA.

    Renjith and Rekha are two such aspirants and we had a chance to listen to their conversation. Here are the excerpts:

    Renjith: Hi Rekha, so you are looking for the right online MBA course?

    Rekha: Yeah Renji; online has flexibility.

    Renjith: Is this the right time to pursue an MBA ? People say MBA is not for freshers.

    Rekha: Yeah! And the right time is now. Haven't you heard that the average age of GMAT test takers is dropping worldwide? What does this mean? It is better to complete your studies before other commitments creep in.

    Renjith: So you are ready to sacrifice your social life to take on the MBA rigour?

    Rekha: Who said? Online MBA has great flexibility and you can even track down the lost classes.

    Renjith: So cracking MBA as a fresher is better?

    Rekha: To my mind it is. Exposure to industries and team roles (part of MBA curriculum) when we are fresh adds to our confidence to face the job interviews.
