What do B-schools
look for in an MBA aspirant? |

There are two
types of students who apply: one with
work-experience and one without. In both of
them, we look for the right attitude
with the right skill set. This is what
they should be armed with, which will
allow them to make the best of the MBA
experience. |

Students acquire
conceptual understanding, attitude and
out-of-the-box thinking. It enhances
their thought process and teaches them
varied understanding. |

One offbeat
career path you would like to suggest
the future managers to take up? |

E-business is
the future. There are a lot of students
who are scared of the concept of e-business.
Also the service sector is booming.

| Q4. |
Women make
better managers than men. Comment. |

Yes, they have
an added advantage. Indian women especially
are used to managing so many things
at a given point in time, that they
seem like being etched out for that
particular task. |

No. |

|
| Q6. |
While selecting
an institute, what should students look
for: faculty or placements? |
| |
Faculty is the
lifeline of any institute. It is the
faculty that determines how the students
are. We can get the best placements
but if the teachers are not good, the
students would be as bad. |

age…but a relevant 1-2 years experience
will make a difference. |
