During MBA one comes across a good mix of Engineers, CAs, Accountants, Arts & Science graduates, managers and even students who are married and have children. Such a diverse profile creates a wealth of experience before even taking up the career. One thus learns to adapt, accept & respect people as they are. This helps team building, participating in-group activities and leading a group. Through some courses in behavioral sciences one also gets an opportunity to introspect himself/herself and realize ones self-worth. This helps in developing a sense of appreciation for others viewpoints besides building ones own level of self-confidence.

The three most important factors of managerial success are;

1>. The skills to understand nos. 2>. Investigate prowess 3>. Ability to look at issues from a multi-disciplinary angle.

Management Education in India.

MANAGEMENT THINKING IS NEVER STATIC.

Today managers have to predict uncertain events with greater accuracy and respond creatively to a dynamic environment. He has to be flexible and responsive to the needs of the entire organization in order to perform consistently and thereby provides desired results.

To become an Effective Manager one has to acquire a varied set of skills. MBA helps one to gain foothold in an organization. Once inside, he/she learns to superimpose practical techniques on conceptual skills.

Exposure to Global environment.

The world is moving towards a global order in which there is going to be a greater interdependence of material and regional economies. Such a world order has to be based on harmony at the macro level.

The professional associations like the All India Management Association, National Productivity Council and their local chapters, Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan, YMCA, etc offer continuing education and management development programs at all levels. A feature of the Indian management education system is the existence of a large number of in house training set-ups both in the public and private sector. Most of these in-house training centers have strong faculty links with the other institutions of management education and provide larger-scale training to their managers. Of late, some private consulting firms have also started offering training programs in the area of general management and other functional areas of management, Over the last decade management education has emerged as one of the most exciting and sought after careers challenging the traditional and staid careers of engineering and medicine. Believed to be equipped with an assortment of managerial skills, graduates armed with MBA degrees from specialized institutes are eagerly lapped up by high-profile corporate groups and offered unprecedented entry level pay packages that can turn engineers and doctors green with envy.

(ii) Various technology institutes have also started their own management programs. Premier among these are courses offered by IIT Delhi, Vinod Gupta Institute of Management - IIT Kharagpur National Institute of Industrial Engineering (NITIE), Mumbai, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, Birla Institute of Technology & Science, Pilani & Indian School of Mines, Dhanbad.

(iii) The concept of dual qualification has emerged with the introduction of CFA-MBA joint program of the Institute of Chartered Financial Analysts of India, Hyderabad.

(iv) Recently, several industrial and business organizations have set up their own management institutes. (Earlier, only the Tata Institute of Social Sciences & JBIMS Mumbai existed). Some of the others are:

2. Mudra Institute of Communications, Ahmedabad

4. Nirma Institute of Management, Ahmedabed

7. Jaipuria Institute of Management, Lucknow

8. Dewan Institute of Management Meerut.

9. Kirloskar Institute of Advanced Management Haripur (Karnataka)

The rapid pace with which the Indian economy is globalising has necessitated the need for a new breed of managers who should be able to think, conceptualize and implement strategies in multi cultural contexts. Although the premier management institutes are gearing up to meet this challenge, the second line of management schools are struggling to reorient their academic programs and faculties towards this new reality. In addition to constraints on resource faculty, most institutes are ill equipped with poor libraries.

It is also being increasingly felt, that at present, there is a lot of adhocism in management entrance tests especially those that are not conducted through standardized All India tests like CAT & MAT. Since professional management needs special aptitude to become leaders and decision makers, it is important that stringent norms are applied for recruitment and dubious entrance of sponsored candidates are nipped in the bud.

One also has to be cautious about the influence of foreign universities who are eyeing the huge education market in India with none too noble intentions. A system is required to publicize the rating and credibility of such institutions so that parents and students are not led the garden path into the realm of illusion and frustration.

At the risk of reputation, it must be reiterated that the next question attached to an MBA degree is where it comes from. Management education today, is unfortunately seen as one more avenue of a business venture by many. No wonder then that new management institutions pop up like popcorns and fleece the gullible public. Most of them do not match up to the high standards, which they advertise and charge hefty fees.

The All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) is the apex body for higher professional education in India and it is mandatory for all post graduation Management Courses to be approved by AICTE. Nevertheless, many management institutes brazenly carry on without such approval.

At the PostGraduate level there are a plethora of Institutes, which offer courses in Management. The most sought after qualification at this level is the Master of Business Administration (MBA) Degree (awarded by Universities) or PostGraduate Diploma in Management (PGDBM) awarded by some of the reputed institutes.

The admission to these courses is through a Written Test, followed by a Group Discussion and an Interview.

The MBA entrance tests constitute the following critical sections (An institute may include all or some of these sections in its Entrance Exam).

1. Verbal Ability

2. Reading Comprehension

3. Elementary Mathematics

4. Data Interpretation

5. Data Sufficiency

6. Logical and Analytical Reasoning

7. Awareness of Business & Economic Environment

8. General Awareness

The last three sections do not appear in the Common Admission Test (CAT) for IIMs and other Institutes (MDI Gurgaon, IISWBN Calcutta, TAPMI Manipal, MIC Ahmedabad & IMDR Pune).

What is thought in an MBA Program?

An MBA program generally comprises of four important elements:

1. Foundation Course relating to Principles of Management, Organizational Behavior, Business Laws, Quantitative Techniques Accountancy, Managerial Economics etc.

2. Courses relating to specific functional areas such as Marketing, Finance, Human Resources Management, Production etc.

3. Courses relating to understanding of Business Environment & Current Business and Economic Scenario.

4. Courses related to Strategic Management and Business Policy.

The Management Institutes generally impart education through Case- Study method and Presentations, Seminars etc. in all the above areas of study.

The course structure of a typical MBA program

1. Curriculum

2. Structure

3. Teaching methods

We shall briefly discuss only the curriculum

Curriculum

Foundation courses

Environmental analysis

Functional skills

Integrative courses

The foundation courses include subject like economics, statistics, mathematics and data processing. These skills are part of the basic tool kit for the study of professional management, which include behavioral courses

Environment here means the legal and social environment in which the business operates. Student is made aware of government rules, ethics and norms.

Functional skills include finance, banking, production management, and operative research. Generally, familiar with these requires to every MBA student. In the second year, a student is required to choose one or two areas to specialize.

Integrative courses

The skills and theory part, which are thought separately, are integrated through specially designed courses, which form the integrative courses.

Compared to the initial Iucraticve placements an MBA graduate from any prestigious institute is offered, the cost of education appears reasonable. In India, the cost would amount to about 50,000 a year. Depending on his/her qualifications and work experience, a student gets a fellowship of either Rs. 1800 of Rs. 2400 a month. Also a student is given an annual contingency allowance of Rs 5000.

A MBA graduate is expected to work in most challenging conditions where he has to consider the theoretical and practical applications of the situation and find solutions accordingly. He/she has to evolve a balance between theory and practice

An MBA graduate from a prestigious institute from has the privilege of selecting his employer rather than the employer selecting them. Fresh MBA graduates are so much in demand that prospective employers queue up to snap them as soon as they come out of college.

Broadly, MBA students can specialize in any of the following streams

1. Marketing

2. Human Resources

3. Finance

4. Systems

5. Production

This specialization includes areas like

1. Sales and Distribution

2. Product/Brand Management

3. Advertising

4. Market Research

Sales and Product Management offers wide scope. Advertising and Market Research are activities that are highly specialized.

Its is perhaps the fastest growing specialization in India today.

There are three broad areas in this field

1. Human Resource Development

2. Personnel Management

3. Industrial Relations

MBAs in this discipline are considered similar to Chartered Accountants. Specialization in this discipline branches out in various paths, viz. consumer banking, institutional banking, developmental banking and the like. Business acumen and a keen grasp of financial laws are essential pre-requisites for this.

In a Systems Management course, the student learns all the functions of an organization, in addition to the knowledge of computers. There is tendency to view the system management course as another computer course, but in reality the systems analyst works on providing all round solutions while the work of the computer specialist is much narrower.

The focus of the production specialist is not on problems related to engineering, but on managerial implications of such problems and the techniques are largely applied to manufacturing organizations.

SYLLABUS FOR MBA ENTRANCE TESTS

JAIN reflects the necessity of reading E.T. regularly A good current affairs magazine is essential since it not only reinforces whatever you read in the newspapers in the course of the week but also adds to your knowledge base.

In the newspaper one should focus on the front page, editorial page, business page and the sports page. All newspapers have supplements or pages on various subjects like sports, business, advertising, science & technology, on different days; these are a good source of information. The Sunday magazine of newspapers also provides good reading material.

The biggest advantage of reading newspapers & magazines regularly is that along with improving your General Knowledge it provides good practice for reading comprehension and helps in building up your vocabulary.

There are three different issues which determine the career of management graduates. These are:

-- The Institute

-- The Specialisation

-- The Organisatin

The Institute:

The M.B.A. is a career oriented courses. In accordance with this almost all the institutes have a placement cell whose objective is to get companies to make offers to their students. The relative effectiveness of these cells varies from institute to institute.

Briefly, the larger and better known schools, especially the IIMs, XLRI, JBIMS, and FMS get the pick of the jobs Foreign banks, multinational companies, large Indian companies etc. all vie for the graduates from these institutions e.g. IIM-Ahmedabad routinely turns away about 50 companies without any graduate accepting jobs from them.

The less well known institutes normally attract offers from local companies. but not as remunerative.

The Specialisation:

This is the key bariable and a lot depends on your interests and capabilities, as well as the institutes resources. We will consider each specialisation in some detail. This should also help you get an outline of the functional areas.

M.B.A. students can specialise in any of the following streams:

* Marketing * Finance

* Human Resources * Systems

* Production

Marketing:

Sales & Distribution

Product/Brand Management

Advertising

Market Research

The opportunities in Sales and Product Management are wide. However most organisations prefer their trainees to get sales experience before joining product management. The range of organisations is wide and includes all types of organisations.

Advertising and market research are service sector activities. These organisations are highly specialised consultancies. In India, we have a large number of small abencies, (which may not be the best place to start a career) and a small number of large agencies, often which foreign tie-ups. It is important to remember that the largest agency is around Rs. 100 crores in turnover which is small by other industry standards. Most of the large and professional have well developed department for advertising and market rsearch.

Finance:

This function is concerned with the efficient use of the basic raw material for business -- money. MBAs in this discipline face competition from CAs -- but also learn a lot more than what a normal CA does. Thus, in medium term an equally bright MBA would have an advantage over his CA colleague. There are seven career paths in this discipline:

Consumer banking
Investment banking
Institutional banking
Merchant banking
Development banking
Non Banking Finance
Corporate Finance

Consumer banking, investment banking, and institutional banking are usually carried out by the same institution. These cover, respectively individual accounts, the management of securities(and other investments including foreign exchange dealings) and lending to corporate clients. These functions tend to be very specialised.

Most banks nowadays also have merchant banking subsidiaries or divisions. These largely focus on public issues of capital by organisations. This field had also seen several non-bank firms entering but their viability currently seems doubtful. While in the other three banking areas described above (i.e. consumer/investment/institutional) the foreign banks are the most aggresive and creative, the merchant banking divisions of Indian banks are currently rated as the best.

Development banking is the purview of specialised institutions set up for this purpose e.g. ICICI, IDBI, IFCI etc. The mandate is to help the economy grow by aiding industrial growth. The focus here is very different from traditional banking and is extremely challenging.

Non banking finance is of two types. One set is through (usually) small pricately fun specialised companies. These include companies invoived in leasing, hire purchase, or provate banks. The other is through specialised public sector institutions concentrating on shipping finance, housing finance, venture capital etc.

The corporate route is also open. Companies need in-house experties and often have large departments to do cost-control, financial planning, and accountancy. These can also offer challenging careers.

Houmn Resources:

There are there broad career opportunities in this area. It is important to note that this area is probably the fastest growing specialisation in India today. The three areas are:

Human Resource Development
Personnel Management
Industrual Relations

An HRD executive is involved with activities like perforrmance appraisal, employee counseling, employee training and employee motivatin. His activities are directed towards development of the people in his organisation.

Industrial relations focuses of labour management. With the increasing activitiy of labour/staff unions, often with the backing of political parties, organisations have developed a need for specialists in handling union related activities. Normally students who have a law bacground are preferred for this functional area.
Systems Management:

For M.B.A.s who have specialised in systems, the job market is booming. There are broad career options in this field:

Computer manufacturing/selling organisations

Systems consultancy organisations

Systems departments of organisations

It is important to understand the diference between a systems person and a computer perrson. The key difference is the type of skill needed. While systems specialists will work on understanding a problem and then resolving it, the focus of the computer specialist is narrower and more technical. The computer specialist would know about software and hardware of certain types. However the MBA, in the course of his programme, would have learnt about all the functions of an organisation, in addition to computer knowledge. Hence the systems MBA, unlike a computer engineer, is equipped to design systems for many types of organisation.

Production:

Manufacturing is one of the most important areas for any product based business. Many techniques and theories have been developed by management schools which focus on issues relevant to this area. These skills are specially useful to those who are engineering graduates. The four types of opportunities are in:

Productivity Improvement

Quality Control

Inventory Control

Production Planning

The focus of the production specialist is not on engineering problems, but on the managerial implications of engineering problems. The specific skills required are behavioural, technical, and statistical.

These techniques are largely applied to manufacturing organisations. There are few consultancy organisations in this area, and most do not offer attractive career opportunities to M.B.A.s.

Conclusion:

The range of careers open to management graduates is definitely more extensive than what we have described above. The preceding note had the limited objective of giving you the broad outline of opportunities available. The actual opportunities are restricted by your imagination and aring. It would be useful for you to get in touch with any expert in the areas described to get an indepth picture of any stream or discipline. Also, please remember that the classifications are neither exhaustive nor watertight.

Entrepreneurship is one option not covered above, but increasingly important for students of the better management institutes IIM-A runs a special second year concentration packege for entrepreneurs, and other schools offer special courses. This is a very exciting, challenging, and rewarding option that you should consider while planning you career.

The Organizatin:

Organizations can be classified by the nature of their business. The three broad areas are:

* Consumer Product

* Service Sector

The difference between these types is important. A brief description.

Consumer Product: The focus of these organisations is to sell products to individual consumers. A wide range of products comes in this category like soaps, toothpastes, fire extinguishers, bathroom fixtures, motorcycles. VCRs and many others. Some distinguishing features of this type of organisation are disaggregated markets, a need for mass media avdertising, a large sales force, and a relatively low value item.

Industrial Products: The focus of these organisations is selling products to other organisations. A wide range of products comes in this category like forgings. EPABX sets, plastics, chemicals, computers power plants etc. Some distinguishing features of this type of organisation are complex or unique products, high after-sales service requirements, a specialised audience, personal selling, and high value orders.

Service Sector: Many organisations do not produce a tangible product, but perform a valuable function. Common examples of such service organisations are banks, agents, and accountants. This sector also includes industries like exports, advertising, software, consultancy, and even the Planning Commission. Some of the important characteristics of such organisations are their people intensive nature, the high skills required, and the intangible nature of the final output. In India the lack of infrastructure for communications and data availability is a serious hindrance to the development of this sector.

Other important classifications are done on the basis of size, or on the level of professionalisation, or on the industry it belongs to. The matching of these to your competence and maturity is beyond the scope of this note.

tests is your vacation at the end of the last-but-one year of your studies. Though a period of 3-4 months is enough to master the quantitative areas in these tests (especially, if you train yourself on the difficulty level of IIM standards). many Indian students find mastering the verbal areas such as Reading and Vocabulary, rather slow going. Since the verbal areas make for slow learning, you would do well to start these as early as possible say, five to six months before the test.

As for how to prepare, the Note Analysing the Test Formats gives you compllete details.

Next, many students who take GRE want to work in industry after completing their M.S. It is at that juncture they begin to feel the need for an MBA. If you feel that such a possibility might arise in your case, you would do well to take the GMAT allong with your GRE. First, the tests need similar aptitude except in one or two areas. Secondly, you need not undergo the hassle of preparing for GMAT again; the scores are valid for 5 years.

(10). Completing Application Form & Despatch: Your admission to most American universities will depend on the following things:

1. Your academic record.

2. High motivation towards completion of your academic goals,

3. Recommendation you have secured; and

4. Your test scores.

The manner in which you answer the questions in your application form is very important. The applicationl forms of many universities contain questions which require you to write long essay type answers. The questions might range from you personal likes and dislikes to your idea about the state of the world ten years hence. These essays need to be written very carefullly. After writing them, you would do well to get them checked by someone whose commonsense and English grammar, you have reasons to believe are superior tok yours. You can be sure your essays will be read carefully by the carefully by the admissions authorities and will serve as an important criteria for your selection.

Students who seek admissionk to courses other than managment have to write a Statementk of Purpose. In these, several youngsters end up making pompous and hollow statements and appear to set for themselves frighteningly unrealistic purposes. Remember, the statement just requires you to answer 3 or 4 very simple questions, such as, what are your objectives in learning and life, what makes you to select the course you wish to seek admission to how are your academic goal realted to your professional ambitions, and what do you seek to achieve in your professional life.

(11). Costs, Financial Aid and RBI Regulations: Financial aid programs at the undergraduate level are generally funded by the Federal Goverment. Citizens of foreign Countries are not eligible to apply for these funds. Any aid they receive must come from the institution or college. Institutional aid is given in the form of full or partial scholarships. Since competition for these schollarships (which are limited in number) is stiff, only extremely talented individuals receive them. At the graduate level there are two types of aid:

(i). Fellowships (or scholarships)

(ii). Work Programs

Fellowships are outright awards which require no service in return. Often they provide a stipend for living expense besides meeting tuition costs. These are highly prestigious awards.

Work programs include teaching assistantships and research assistanships, which require the recipient to provide a service to the university in return for a stipend. Often tuition fees are saived or reimbursed.

Teaching Assistantships: If you pursue an advanced degree in a subject that is also offered at the underg -graduate level -- for example, in the arts and sciences -- you may have a good chance of securing a teaching assistantship. Such a position may involve delivering lectures, correcting classwork. grading papers, counselling students and supervising laboratory groups: usually about 20 hours of work is required per week.

Research Assistantships: Research assistantships usually require the student to assist in the research activities of a faculty member. Appointments are ordinarily made for the academic year. They are reaely offered to first-year students. You should contact the concemed department describing your particular research interests. As is the case with teaching assistantships, research assistantshipa provid excellent academic training as well as practical experience and financial support.

Generally, funding for foreign students is very limited, Foreign applicats have to compete with capable U.S. students for most financial aid awards. Although financial need is taken into consideration, the most important factor in stlectionk is academic merit.

For detailed information about financial aid, you should refer to the following books available at the USEFI.

(i). Graduate Programme and Admissions Manual.

(ii) The Hand Book of International Study for Foreign Nationals.

With regard to costs of education, you should also note that they could range form $12,000 to over $25,000 per year (1992). The average total expense at a majority of U.S. institutions would be approximately $26,000

(12). Things to do After you get Admission: As soon as you receive admission parpers along with form I 20 from an university:

1. approach the RBI in your state for a permit that will enable you to transfer funds from India to the US. (if applicable).

2. obtaink information on visa from the US Consulate nearest to you and fulfill all their requirements.

3. make application for visa sufficiently early but not before ninety days from the date of the commencement of the semester as mentioned in your I-20.

Normally, if you apply for a visa in person with all the required documents at the US Consulate nearest you, you will be informed of their decision of the same day. If however, you are rejected twice in person and decide to apply by mail it could take ten working days or more to hear from them.
