Hello everyone,

I am Mayank.

If I talk about myself I am an Engineering Graduate Still Unemployed (its been two years since I Passed out from college) and that's because I didn't know anything better to do other than Engineering (that's other thing).

So my point is if you look at my situation it looks like MBA is a very good Option for me as to completely change my career flow, I desperately need that, so for me doing MBA could open new opportunities and its a complete new chance for me to learn something new which could lead me towards a better career doing MBA will improve my skills, my personality, I will be more confident then, and and as I said its a new chance for me.

But this is applicable to people like me, other than that people who are already doing good in there careers may not need any MBA course, Of course they can improve there positions and salaries by going for MBA. But I don't think that MBA is the only Key to get Success in Life, not at all.

Important is that why do Want to go for MBA (or any other PG Course) You should have a reason behind it and if you have an appropriate reason than just throw yourself in that field be it MBA or anything.

Agreed that Good Colleges are the key Factor but If you really want to learn and shine you can do it anywhere. But not just because everybody is saying doing MBA is Good and Doing it just to get good salary package and lifestyle and an MBA tag, you won't get anywhere (That happened to me with Engineering!).

So again Being successful has nothing to with MBA,

Thank you for reading.

No, not at all MBA is not necessary to succeed in life for instance those who want to make career in sports need not to be an MBA likewise different people different career choices so you just need to be ensure the field you want to go you have enough knowledge about it.

Hi I am Shanthipriya. According to me "Success" is a relative term. Its up to an individual to decide on what is success for him/her in life. Taking business into consideration, an MBA gives you an additional knowledge in to the know-how of the business environment and acts as a support. It is certainly not necessary to have the three letter degree to be successful in one's entrepreneurial/managerial life.

The concepts taught at a B-school can definitely be learnt through experience too. However, that becomes an expensive course. Thus, one can use an MBA degree to help him in tough times rather than entirely relying on it to run a business/ lead a team.

Hi all,

According to me MBA is necessary for getting a good corporate job, it is a field which help people how to interact with others and filled people with greater management knowledge, confidence, interpersonal skills, good communication skills, etc.

I am also pursuing MBA from ITS college Mohannagar (Gzb). I think MBA with Finance in major and Marketing in minor specialization has very good career options.

I have completed my MBA WITH Marketing & finance as my specialization in 2013 but I don't think that it is a good option. It would be only good when you do it from IIM or from a reputed college otherwise it very difficult to get placed in a reputed company. If you really want to make a career in MBA field do it from A grade college otherwise drop the idea of doing MBA because it is just only wasting your money.

Yes, MBA is the most successful to enter in the corporate world in day to day life, MBA became the most important in each and every person such an Engineering students also doing MBA after is engineering is finish, doctor, lawyer. All are doing MBA after completion of the degree in the respective fields. If you to success in todays world and earned a good amount of salaries and all MBA played an important role in our life.

Even I also pursuing MBA in AIMS college Bangalore. I learned without any MBA knowledge there is no job according to my views.

MBA is the key success of each and every person to success and achieve their goals and objectives what people sets for their in their own life.

MBA is all about your whole academic career shows in the corporate world.

If somebody want a good jobs and all they should through the each an every concept whats MBA teaches in the PG.

MBA is all about getting into top B-Schools and making your life better through better exposure and high paying opportunities. It is a gateway for making change in your life esp. For those who don't have good academic background earlier.
