Data Interpretation

In the modern era data is vital for any business hence, all the companies launch their product keeping in mind the data which they collect from different resources, even the projection of revenue is dependent on the data forecasting.

Since with MBA you would be transformed as a budding manager who will join a company and over there it will be the Data primary or secondary, you would be dealing with Data day in and day out.

Because of the obvious reason of the above, Data Interpretation is the section which is common to all MBA entrance examinations hence, it is important and crucial to understand interpretation of the Data.

Data Interpretation is mostly given in tabular form or in pie charts and graphical presentations, we need to understand in a calculative manner and interpret the Data.

Data although a numerical format and can be understood while observing the comparison of the data with the commonsense and then put a hypothesis into that before calculating the Data.

The other area of Data Interpretation is that it needs to be done with crucial accuracy along with the speed and for this matter you need to be at your best at the fundamentals of arithmetic of the percentages and numbers.

Data Interpretation requires a constant practice and in the absence of any formulas, interpretation of the Data can be hypothecated with multi dimensional conclusions hence, you need not bother about the understanding of the Data from the others point of you but you need to stick to your own reasoning and present the data a per your hypothesis.

Idea of Data Interpretation is that what is that which convinces you to interpret the Data but a constant factor remains the source and credibility of Data.

In the present world where big Data has become a source of forecasting of future in the Company Boards, it is important to get on to Data Interpretation in a big way with which the understanding of this subject will not only help to crack Data Interpretation in MBA examinations but you will carry on the confidence of understanding when you will be employed with the Company.

GD will be crucial post MBA Entrance Exams

Group Discussion is one of the major sections taken into consideration by an MBA Institute for admission post MBA Entrance Exams.

Some Institutes might give a GD Topic which may sound very easy but might be very tricky in the sense that you are not able to discuss much and you have to take initiatives to develop the subject.

GD test as such is very subjective in nature and top of all if the topic is also like that then participants are likely to face problems.

Presence of mind is an important factor and responding at once with logical reasoning is required and you are appreciated for your responses. 

Basic Domain Knowledge is essential , with this the art of being good in GD can be learned and improved with practice.

GD demands a confident personality in you who is a pleasant personality and has responsive nature to unfold complex situations to simple opportunities.

You get ample of chances in GD to tell your story either on assigned GD Topic. These chances must be converted to opportunities to detail your logic and link with your career goal.

Don’t focus on the audience response. Don’t worry. Am I making any impact in GD or is this going well? These thoughts might distract you from GD Topic and will make your voice sound lifeless and monotonous. 

Only those who will be able to showcase their positive attitude in all aspects can be assured to clear GD hence, persevere hard to adapt those skills which will take you forward to achieve mission admission MBA!!

Only confidence will take you forward!!

It is aptly said that “It’s not what you say out of your mouth that determines your life; it’s what you whisper to yourself that has the most power!”

Confident posture of yours is positive communication to others and you are perceived that way and your each action is appreciated.

MBA aspirants have everything to do with confidence, right from MBA entrance exams to GD/PI. Noteworthy situation here is that after you clear entrance exams and meet the cut off percentile for an institute then it is only your soft skill and confidence is judged.

The more you are confident; chances are bright that you will be selected for MBA admission.

It won’t be exaggeration to conclude that no one can make you feel inferior without your consent.

Only you can decide on your growth

Let's visualize a scenario that between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response there can be our growth and our freedom.

All growth depends upon activity. There is no development physically or intellectually without effort, and effort means work.

There are no great limits to growth because there are no limits of human intelligence, imagination, and wonder.

MBA aspirants must vouch for growth and that will be a residue of hard work being pit in for the preparation for MBA entrance exams.

It is only up to you on what kind of growth you are looking forward in your career? Is it only monetary or inclusive growth which is a combination of materialistic gain embedded with responsibility and accountability?

Management education will compel you to think in terms of gaining professional competency and thereby gaining growth on the ladder of conviction.

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.

"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.

What’s employability skill?
