Q1. What do B-schools look for in an MBA aspirant?
  A fine blend of managerial traits and academics.
   
Q2. "MBA: A mandate for future managers." Comment.

Q3. What skill sets do MBAs acquire during the course?
  B-schools enhance decision-making abilities and sharpen the thinking process.
   
Q4. One offbeat career path you would like to suggest the future managers to take up?
  A Career in Operations: Service Operations, to be precise.
   
Q5. Women make better managers than men. Comment.
  Their environment makes them better managers.
   
Q6. Is there an overflow of MBAs in the job market?
  Yes, MBAs are overflowing in the market. In another 4-5 years…it will cause a burn out.
   
Q7. While selecting an institute, what should students look for: faculty or placements?
  Both.
   
Q8. The ideal age to do the MBA is…
  Work experience definitely matters. But there is no ideal age for it.
   
Q9. One myth about MBA that you would like to break?
  B-schools don't teach how to handle stress and how to call the shots under stress.
   
Q10. Your message to the future managers…
  MBA: 2 golden years: Make best use of it. MBAs should not feel arrogant.
