MBA will make you Employable

According to the data published by the Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC), close to 92 percent of the graduates from business schools worldwide found employment within 3 months after graduation in 2012. This is a six percent increase as compared to 2011. 

This shows that people with MBA are high in demand. Students who pursue an MBA are empowered with interpersonal and leadership skills, which are sought after by multinational corporations (MNCs) and local companies. 

To be a successful professional, you should have a strong network and be well connected with people in your field. This is possible in a business school, where organizations come on a regular basis to give talks and for job and internship placements. Students can build their networks through such events and enhance their employability as a result. 

After the completion of MBA, students are employed in managerial positions. As a manager, you will be required to work in large teams and lead your subordinates. These skills are honed during an MBA, where you will be involved in projects and group presentations. So, during your business studies make it a point to participate actively in projects and classes to enhance your leadership skills. 

Just an MBA degree is not sufficient to gain employment; you should be passionate and determined to succeed. The business environment is full of ups and downs; so, potential business leaders should have the foresight to make proper decisions for the benefit of the company.

What is expected from you in XAT 2014?

In XAT 2014 exam, unlike other MBA entrance tests, candidates need to be more attentive in selecting which question to solve and what to drop without wasting much time. This is an important aspect of XAT examination as it throws more number of questions to be solved in less time.

In such a pressure building scenario, students need not lose their nerve and solve easier looking questions before attempting tough or complicated questions.

However, selection of easier questions is very difficult as they are very well inserted between the tougher questions that are speed breakers in such competitive exams.

But, it is not impossible to master the skill of scrutinizing questions and one could polish this skill by regress practice and disciplined preparation.

For instance, one can easily find simpler questions based upon algebra and trigonometry, between two questions which might involve application of calculus.

Though the questions based upon calculus and functions are themselves on decline as observed in the past.

Thus, XAT 2014 on 5^th January will primarily test three skills in any aspiring student:

• Decision making abilities,
• Pressure handling and meeting deadline capability
• Ability to capitalize on ones' strengths

Time and tide wait for no man

In universities, we are taught time management skills because our life is essentially a race against time. We have so many tasks at hand but very little time. This is why prioritization of work is important so that no time is wasted along the way.

Procrastination is common in the field of education. Students neglect their studies during their school term and wait till the last minute to prepare for examinations.

They spend so much time playing games and chatting with friends that they eventually lose track of time and start panicking at the last moment – a few days before the examinations. These are the students that do not perform to their optimum level in the examinations.

Toppers, on the other hand, are consistent in their studies and strike the right balance between education and play. They never panic at the last moment because they are already well-prepared for their examinations.

Time is just like a river; it keeps flowing forward and never turns back. You may delay your work and wait for the last minute to complete your tasks at hand, but time will continue to move forward.

Let’s us not prepare to fail

“By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail”. It is true that if you do not set goals beforehand or plan ahead in life, you cannot succeed in life.

Success only comes to those with determination, who set concrete goals in life. Successful people have short term, medium term and long term goals. 

Since long term goals are the most difficult to achieve, people come up with short term goals, which will slowly but surely help them to move in the right direction. 

This way, one is organized and well-planned. With so much preparation, one does not lose focus of his goals and objectives even when the going gets tough.

People who fail to prepare goals beforehand lose their way easily. Since they are not clear about their goals, they give up when they are unable to face challenges in life. 

Charles Dickens once said, “I never could have done what I have done without the habits of punctuality, order, diligence, and the determination to concentrate myself on one subject at a time”. These are the key ingredients for the ‘success’ recipe.

"Success is the child of audacity"

Benjamin Disraeli, a former British Prime Minister, is known for his saying, “Success is the child of audacity”. It is true that success belongs to those who dare to think outside the box. Only those who dare to fail can achieve success in life. To do great tasks that are considered impossible by many requires determination and persistence.

The Wright brothers, who invented the airplane, were successful because they dared to think differently from people around them. Invention comes with a price of immense hard work, possibility of failure, and lack of support from people around.

Although the Wright brothers were sometimes ridiculed by the public, they did not lose focus of their goal. Invention requires trial and error experimentation, and there were many times that the Wright brothers failed in their tasks. But they did not get discouraged; they were determined to reach their goals that they continued to make improvements on their prototype by learning from their mistakes. 

Invention is never easy and it is common to make mistakes along the way. However, it is important not to lose confidence and faith in oneself when things are not proceeding well. People who are daring are persistent in what they do. That’s why they never fail and success eventually comes to them. Those who are determined to reach their goals have confidence in their abilities. 

Hence, they are unperturbed by the jeers and discouraging comments of people around them. We remember great people today because of their determination. Daring people like Mahatma Gandhi, Subhas Chandra Bose and Sardar Vallabai Patel are remembered by billions today because they were undaunted by challenging goals.
