@@Supritdc The first thing to keep in mind is that an MiM is not the same as MBA. Modify your expectations from the program accordingly. Apart from that, get in touch with international students and alumni of the program to find out whether they found the degree helpful.

Sir, I would like to know more specifics about a profile the international (and Indian) B-Schools look for. Is there any sort of an unofficial (and/or somewhat vague or trending) standardisation in criteria? The number of extra-curriculars, achievements, responsibilities that have to be on your profile; academics, etc? Now, I know that more the better, but would still like more specific understanding of it. What KIND of an achievement/participation would be prioritised over the other, for example, would working for an NGO be a better addition to the profile than, say, handling a good amount of responsibility under your work for a private entity? To what extent could any sort of extra-curricular mitigate some other deficiency, say, not-so-strong academics (or, that competition is so high that it wouldn't mitigate anything at all?) I have read your book "Beyond the MBA Hype", so I would obviously have to consider if an MBA degree would be anything beneficial to begin with, given my profile. For the record, I'm a CA student about to finish college and begin articleship (and as per what I read on your website, only certain international b-schools would ever consider articleship term as a real "work-ex", so I know about one requirement, at least). Also, MBA under what specialisation could be synergic to CA (would MBA in marketing and not finance make any financial specialization under CA redundant, etc?) Moreover, if someone wanted to start MBA after completing CA, to what extent could such professional qualification add weight to Profile, and would those be, again, prioritised over non-academic ECAs and achievements?
@@namankhare7436 Hi Naman, bschools share the overall stats on their class profile page, but they don't provide specifics of a particular nationality. Apart from GMAT / GRE scores, which tend to be higher for Indian and Chinese students, the rest of the profile tend to be similar in terms of calibre. I don't agree with your 'more is better' view. As with any other aspect, I'd put quality over quantity here as well. Read this to know the views of an Ivy league MBA admissions officer: www.mbacrystalball.com/blog/2016/08/26/extracurricular-activities-in-mba-application/ Each component has an independent value. So it's tough to 'replace' acads with (say) more extra curriculars. We've helped several chartered accountants get into the top bschools. However, read about their stories on our blog to find out more about their profiles and strategies. Here's one who got a full scholarship from ISB: www.mbacrystalball.com/blog/2016/12/02/chartered-accountant-isb-with-scholarship/ Your specialisation should be driven by your goals and interest. It's too early for you to think about applying and worrying about specialisations. Complete your articleship and work for a few years more. Does that answer all your queries?
@@sameer-kamat Yes Sir, it answers most of the queries that I have for now, considering that most of the decisions only have to be taken after I start (or even finish) articleship. Also, I'm only glad to know that "more is better" isn't the metric but it is quality over quantity in specific parts of applications. I have also read the article that you linked to - about the CA who got into ISB. I just had one more simple question - what are the basic things I could focus on during articleship (assuming I get one in a very reputed firm) that could also, simultaneously help me develop a profile for MBA application (so if I ever do plan to apply for MBA colleges after CA, I have something built up there). Taking as many responsibilities as possible? Specialising as much as I could? Getting as many praises on performance, especially formally ("article of the year" or something like that)? Anything other that those?
This person is Gem.... He is really a truthful mentor.....always guides students to the point..... His all videos have deep research and some key points like - "best MBA program in the world may not be best for you " ... This statement is very deep and true when we are seeking admission in colleges which check you inside out by your profile!!
In your application, you'll have to explain the reasons why you struggled in your engineering. And why that will not be the case during the MBA. Plus your GMAT score, experience will play a role too. For top schools that get very strong applicants, it may get tough. But there may be other lower ranking MBA programs that might overlook it.
This is a very informative video!! I came across SP JAIN GMBA program 4 months in Singapore 4 months in Dubai and 4 months Sydney They are willing to give attractive scholarships as I am a Singaporean but I wonder if the program is comparable to many other reputable masters programs What's your view on that ?
Sir, Are there less job opportunities for International students in dept of marketing as they don't have past experience or don't tend to know behaviour of consumers?? Also, Should one do mba or mim in europe?
That's right. It's tougher for international students to get front-office roles in marketing, for the reason you've shared. Europe has good options, but if your goal is to get into marketing, it can be tricky.
Sir does a CFA certification help your profile in getting into the top b-schools? ik that there are other factors like the gmat score ,essay, work ex etc.
Hello sir , I have completed my graduation in B.Tech in ECE with 72% in 2018. I want to pursue my MBA now and I want to know about the value of the Indian MBA for a fresher with little work experience. My initial thoughts were to do an MBA abroad, but most of the B-schools require work experience and also the fee in foreign B-schools are very high. Can you make a list of colleges that accept students with no work experience for an MBA programme and I am asking for the colleges that have a considerable percentage of fresher's in their class profile not just exceptional scenarios like Wharton or Stanford

Greetings sir, I have a question, I wanted to pursue my masters in USA and I want to know the difference between MBA in HR and Masters in HR. Dies masters in Hr subject have psychology? Since I have studied psychology in undergraduate . I’m not good in maths n economics and I have a bachelor background in psychology, sociology and another bachelors degree in education from India. I graduated in the year 2014 after which I worked for Qatar airways a premium cabin crew so do you think I should opt for masters in hr. Kindly let me know . Thanking you. Best regards.
Hi Sameer, impressive guidance! I am considering pursuing an MBA with post career plans in clean energy sector, and I would appreciate your advice on which country to choose between Denmark and Australia for an MBA. Denmark is a global leader in the sector and seems to align well with my career aspirations. However, Australia's energy sector is more diversified, offering potentially more opportunities. I would appreciate any insights you may have to help me make an informed decision. 🙂
As a general rule of thumb, it's best to choose the country and bschool where your target companies recruit. Since your goals in a niche sector, here's something else to keep in mind. The two countries you've shortlisted are typical MBA markets which means the MBA you get there may get doors to open in those countries, but those bschools may not get the same respect and credibility if you choose to spread your wings and explore other markets. Have you considered that possibility?
@@MBACrystalBall Thanks for replying so promptly and that too on a weekend!, Currently, I am considering only these two markets, and I have secured admission offers from top programs in both the places (CBS and AGSM). For context, I have been inclined towards Australia for some time now for various reasons. However, after receiving an offer from CBS and learning more about the renewable energy sector there, I am now leaning more towards Denmark. I'm not sure how safe of a bet that is compared to Australia, and I would greatly appreciate your honest opinion (दो टूक ) on the matter. Which program out of two would you recommend more (CBS and AGSM)?
We're more familiar with AGSM than with CBS. And we know several clients have done well after their MBA there. Plus it's an English speaking country. So in our biased opinion we'd pick Aus. But then, you know the niche market better than us (or other consultants, acquaintances). Which is why you should rely on your gut feel to take the call and not be influenced by what others suggest.
@@MBACrystalBall I cannot agree more with your opinion that I should go with my gut feeling to take the call. I have done extensive research, talked with so many people, especially alumni, got a lot of inputs; but now I have come to a point where more the inputs I am trying to take, more difficult it is getting for me to converge. Perhaps, now it's time for me to trust my intuition. I sincerely appreciate your guidance, will keep you posted!
Hii sir .... Am doing ug final yr nd i need to know is there fiance marketing course (dual specialization)available in india ???....... Pls tell me 🙏🏻🙏🏻
I am a BBM undergraduate with 3.0/4.0 CGPA , I have 2 years of entrepreneurial experience , I lost another year due to a medical disability. I am right now 24 years old. I believe I am out of bounds to many MBA colleges as a result of my low CGPA. Some of my quries are A)Will a second undergraduate degree at this stage help me in securing a top tier MBA/MiM, granted I pass with a CGPA that is in range of my target school?. B)What kind of profile building measures can I take to improve my odds of securing an admit in the top 20 colleges either for MiM or MBA.
A second undergrad seems like overkill, since you're already 24. A better option would be to build your professional profile and be able to show accomplishments that will impress admission officers. Here are some tips to build the profile: ruclips.net/video/EpowVNJaXFc/видео.html
@MBA Crystal Ball: Do you need diversified experience before an MBA ? I want to do MBA and land into Consulting but I come from Electronics Engineering with Experience in Automotive. I have different internships ranging from Manufacturing to Analytics. What do you suggest I should do in this case ? I might work in Japan at client side as a co ordinator in coming months.
Diversification is fine up to a point. Beyond that it might give the perception that there's no focus. So don't overdo it. It can take several years to become good at something. Hitting the reset button every few months or years doesn't help.
Heyy its really informative, I want a genuine suggestions that university which are ranked above 100 globally and has decent ranking under 200-250 in UK like Cardiff, Aston, Liverpool, Louborough will make sense. And how good will these be in terms of post MBA.
We don't have any first hand inputs to share, as candidates working with us are focused on the Top 100. Try connecting with current students of your target programs to find out more.
Hi Samir, I have 9 years of IT experience and I want to do EMBA in ISB - PGPPRO and also kindly suggest if there is a good university from Australia equivalent to ISB - My final goal is to settle down in Australia.

Hello, I am interested in applying for MS in Finance to schools in USA. My question is whether US universities accept a Correspondence/External Under Grad. degree. My Under Grad. Degree in B.Com. is External/Correspondence.
Each university has it's own eligibility requirements so it would be wrong to generalise. The best approach would be to check out their official website to verify whether they accept correspondence degrees.
Thank you for such informative video, I have some questions. how much score do I need to get selected for the executive MBA program from a good foreign university?

It's unusual for international applicants (from outside India) to take breaks for competitive exams. So it sure can be a hurdle for the top schools. Lower ranking ones may not care as much.
There are no age limits, but bschools share an 80 percentile distribution of age and experience. It helps to be closer to the median (which is around 5 years of experience at the American MBA programs).

Should i go ahead with this plan? Or is there a better way to go ahead? Or am just wasting my money by pursuing mba twice?
A double MBA is never an efficient option. You end up duplicating the effort and spending a whole lot more. Better to be patient and gain some work experience first and then considering options.
@@MBACrystalBall what do you suppose is the next best course of action for getting 2 - 3 years of job experience?

My MBA criteria is more rigid then his. If you want to get best value out of MBA then you truely have to study in the best MBA not just top 100 in the world. I would say Best 10/15 in the world. Because value kind of drops after top 20. Best in the best "creame de creame" offers bery unique perspective in life and work that even universities ranked 25 in the world do not. E.g. in that case in UK I would say invest time and money only if you are able to study in Oxford, Cambridge or London Business School. These 3 are really the best 15 in the world.
It's good to see that you are clear about the league of programs to target. As we tell candidates who work with us, the definition of a 'good' MBA is entirely for them to answer based on their profile strength and career goals. Are you applying this year?

Hi Yawar, it would be too early for you to target INSEAD. The average work experience in the class is around 6 years, which is significantly higher that your current experince. If your long term plans are to be in India, you could consider any good, traditional 2-year MBA in India. If you're more keen on an international finance career (and don't have the patience to wait for a few more years), then you could consider MFin or MiM degrees. More on both here: MFin: www.mbacrystalball.com/masters-degree/finance MiM: www.mbacrystalball.com/masters-degree/masters-in-management-mim
@@yawarhayat6802 The barriers to entry for the top schools are always high. LBS MFin has an average age of 29. Many other lower ranked programs may not be as selective. If there are strong reasons why you can't wait, you can look at Indian programs where the costs and risks aren't as high.

Sir, I would like to know more specifics about a profile the international (and Indian) B-Schools look for. Is there any sort of an unofficial (and/or somewhat vague or trending) standardisation in criteria? The number of extra-curriculars, achievements, responsibilities that have to be on your profile; academics, etc?
Now, I know that more the better, but would still like more specific understanding of it.
What KIND of an achievement/participation would be prioritised over the other, for example, would working for an NGO be a better addition to the profile than, say, handling a good amount of responsibility under your work for a private entity? To what extent could any sort of extra-curricular mitigate some other deficiency, say, not-so-strong academics (or, that competition is so high that it wouldn't mitigate anything at all?)
I have read your book "Beyond the MBA Hype", so I would obviously have to consider if an MBA degree would be anything beneficial to begin with, given my profile.
For the record, I'm a CA student about to finish college and begin articleship (and as per what I read on your website, only certain international b-schools would ever consider articleship term as a real "work-ex", so I know about one requirement, at least).
Also, MBA under what specialisation could be synergic to CA (would MBA in marketing and not finance make any financial specialization under CA redundant, etc?)
Moreover, if someone wanted to start MBA after completing CA, to what extent could such professional qualification add weight to Profile, and would those be, again, prioritised over non-academic ECAs and achievements?
@@namankhare7436 Hi Naman, bschools share the overall stats on their class profile page, but they don't provide specifics of a particular nationality. Apart from GMAT / GRE scores, which tend to be higher for Indian and Chinese students, the rest of the profile tend to be similar in terms of calibre.
I don't agree with your 'more is better' view. As with any other aspect, I'd put quality over quantity here as well.
Read this to know the views of an Ivy league MBA admissions officer:
www.mbacrystalball.com/blog/2016/08/26/extracurricular-activities-in-mba-application/
Each component has an independent value. So it's tough to 'replace' acads with (say) more extra curriculars.
We've helped several chartered accountants get into the top bschools. However, read about their stories on our blog to find out more about their profiles and strategies. Here's one who got a full scholarship from ISB: www.mbacrystalball.com/blog/2016/12/02/chartered-accountant-isb-with-scholarship/
Your specialisation should be driven by your goals and interest.
It's too early for you to think about applying and worrying about specialisations. Complete your articleship and work for a few years more.
Does that answer all your queries?
@@sameer-kamat Yes Sir, it answers most of the queries that I have for now, considering that most of the decisions only have to be taken after I start (or even finish) articleship. Also, I'm only glad to know that "more is better" isn't the metric but it is quality over quantity in specific parts of applications. I have also read the article that you linked to - about the CA who got into ISB.
I just had one more simple question - what are the basic things I could focus on during articleship (assuming I get one in a very reputed firm) that could also, simultaneously help me develop a profile for MBA application (so if I ever do plan to apply for MBA colleges after CA, I have something built up there). Taking as many responsibilities as possible? Specialising as much as I could? Getting as many praises on performance, especially formally ("article of the year" or something like that)?
Anything other that those?
This person is Gem.... He is really a truthful mentor.....always guides students to the point..... His all videos have deep research and some key points like - "best MBA program in the world may not be best for you " ... This statement is very deep and true when we are seeking admission in colleges which check you inside out by your profile!!
Hi, I'm from India currently in 3rd year Engineering. I have more than 10backlogs and a year drop. Can I still get a good college in canada?
In your application, you'll have to explain the reasons why you struggled in your engineering. And why that will not be the case during the MBA. Plus your GMAT score, experience will play a role too. For top schools that get very strong applicants, it may get tough. But there may be other lower ranking MBA programs that might overlook it.

I came across SP JAIN GMBA program
4 months in Singapore 4 months in Dubai and 4 months Sydney
They are willing to give attractive scholarships as I am a Singaporean but I wonder if the program is comparable to many other reputable masters programs
What's your view on that ?
It doesn't rank among the top 100 globally. Make sure you talk to current students to get a better idea before you take a decision.
Sir
Will a CFA certification improve your chances for getting into the top b-schools?
No that will only imply that your a hard worker and are driven by your dream but there are lot of other things that matter most over CFA or FRM
Could you also do a video on scholarships offered by MBA colleges abroad suited for Indian students?
Merit based scholarship decision process is similar, regardless of the country. We have another video on Scholarships.
Make an updated video on this topic in recent times.

Sir,
Are there less job opportunities for International students in dept of marketing as they don't have past experience or don't tend to know behaviour of consumers??
Also,
Should one do mba or mim in europe?
That's right. It's tougher for international students to get front-office roles in marketing, for the reason you've shared. Europe has good options, but if your goal is to get into marketing, it can be tricky.
Thanks. Found it useful.

Can you make a list of colleges that accept students with no work experience for an MBA programme and I am asking for the colleges that have a considerable percentage of fresher's in their class profile not just exceptional scenarios like Wharton or Stanford

I’m not good in maths n economics and I have a bachelor background in psychology, sociology and another bachelors degree in education from India.
I graduated in the year 2014 after which I worked for Qatar airways a premium cabin crew so do you think I should opt for masters in hr. Kindly let me know . Thanking you.
Best regards.
We've already responded to your query on the TOEFL video.
Hi Sameer , thank you so much for your informative video . Could you please tell me which country is better for mba US or UK?
In terms of bschool choices and post MBA jobs, US would be at the top. Better or not would also depend on what you expect from the program.
Hi Sameer, impressive guidance! I am considering pursuing an MBA with post career plans in clean energy sector, and I would appreciate your advice on which country to choose between Denmark and Australia for an MBA. Denmark is a global leader in the sector and seems to align well with my career aspirations. However, Australia's energy sector is more diversified, offering potentially more opportunities. I would appreciate any insights you may have to help me make an informed decision. 🙂
As a general rule of thumb, it's best to choose the country and bschool where your target companies recruit. Since your goals in a niche sector, here's something else to keep in mind. The two countries you've shortlisted are typical MBA markets which means the MBA you get there may get doors to open in those countries, but those bschools may not get the same respect and credibility if you choose to spread your wings and explore other markets. Have you considered that possibility?
@@MBACrystalBall Thanks for replying so promptly and that too on a weekend!, Currently, I am considering only these two markets, and I have secured admission offers from top programs in both the places (CBS and AGSM). For context, I have been inclined towards Australia for some time now for various reasons. However, after receiving an offer from CBS and learning more about the renewable energy sector there, I am now leaning more towards Denmark. I'm not sure how safe of a bet that is compared to Australia, and I would greatly appreciate your honest opinion (दो टूक ) on the matter. Which program out of two would you recommend more (CBS and AGSM)?
We're more familiar with AGSM than with CBS. And we know several clients have done well after their MBA there. Plus it's an English speaking country. So in our biased opinion we'd pick Aus. But then, you know the niche market better than us (or other consultants, acquaintances). Which is why you should rely on your gut feel to take the call and not be influenced by what others suggest.
@@MBACrystalBall I cannot agree more with your opinion that I should go with my gut feeling to take the call. I have done extensive research, talked with so many people, especially alumni, got a lot of inputs; but now I have come to a point where more the inputs I am trying to take, more difficult it is getting for me to converge. Perhaps, now it's time for me to trust my intuition. I sincerely appreciate your guidance, will keep you posted!

We focus on international MBA programs. We won't be the right team to answer this question.
I am a BBM undergraduate with 3.0/4.0 CGPA , I have 2 years of entrepreneurial experience , I lost another year due to a medical disability. I am right now 24 years old.
I believe I am out of bounds to many MBA colleges as a result of my low CGPA.
Some of my quries are
A)Will a second undergraduate degree at this stage help me in securing a top tier MBA/MiM, granted I pass with a CGPA that is in range of my target school?.
B)What kind of profile building measures can I take to improve my odds of securing an admit in the top 20 colleges either for MiM or MBA.
A second undergrad seems like overkill, since you're already 24. A better option would be to build your professional profile and be able to show accomplishments that will impress admission officers. Here are some tips to build the profile: ruclips.net/video/EpowVNJaXFc/видео.html
@MBA Crystal Ball: Do you need diversified experience before an MBA ? I want to do MBA and land into Consulting but I come from Electronics Engineering with Experience in Automotive. I have different internships ranging from Manufacturing to Analytics. What do you suggest I should do in this case ? I might work in Japan at client side as a co ordinator in coming months.
Diversification is fine up to a point. Beyond that it might give the perception that there's no focus. So don't overdo it. It can take several years to become good at something. Hitting the reset button every few months or years doesn't help.
Heyy its really informative, I want a genuine suggestions that university which are ranked above 100 globally and has decent ranking under 200-250 in UK like Cardiff, Aston, Liverpool, Louborough will make sense. And how good will these be in terms of post MBA.
We don't have any first hand inputs to share, as candidates working with us are focused on the Top 100. Try connecting with current students of your target programs to find out more.
Hi Samir, I have 9 years of IT experience and I want to do EMBA in ISB - PGPPRO and also kindly suggest if there is a good university from Australia equivalent to ISB - My final goal is to settle down in Australia.

Hello,
I am interested in applying for MS in Finance to schools in USA.
My question is whether US universities accept a Correspondence/External Under Grad. degree.
My Under Grad. Degree in B.Com. is External/Correspondence.
Each university has it's own eligibility requirements so it would be wrong to generalise. The best approach would be to check out their official website to verify whether they accept correspondence degrees.
Sir I’m doing bsc ( fashion n design) so after this can i do mba in marketing?
You can, but you'd need a strong rationale on why you want an MBA and how it'll help you with your long term career goals.
Can u make the same video for msc in finance and mim and master in business analytics
We have videos on MiM and MSBA, with top programs listed.
Sir I am graduated in b.com.Can I get admission for MBA in Canada?

Greetings Sir,I need to ask from you whether the best B schools of the world accept gap years considering one has taken them to prepare for competitive exams?
You'll have to explain the reason for the gap, and how your profile is still strong in terms of experience when compared to other applicants.

It's unusual for international applicants (from outside India) to take breaks for competitive exams. So it sure can be a hurdle for the top schools. Lower ranking ones may not care as much.
@@MBACrystalBall Thank you for the help.Any suggestion from ur side to lessen its impact? Thank u for taking out time to answer the queries.

Sir I would like to know there is any age limits apply to take admission in IIM and any other in the world's top mba colleges. Kindly let me know us

@@MBACrystalBallsir, Is work experience compulsory for MBA in london business school in uk? And I'm planning to study abroad for masters and law together... So are there any professional MBA courses or should I apply for law outside the university.......
@@jyo_joy1232 Yes, LBS would expect work experience. Some universities offer joint degrees in MBA and Law. Read more here: www.mbacrystalball.com/blog/2016/12/05/jd-vs-mba-joint-degree-law-business/
My MBA criteria is more rigid then his. If you want to get best value out of MBA then you truely have to study in the best MBA not just top 100 in the world. I would say Best 10/15 in the world. Because value kind of drops after top 20. Best in the best "creame de creame" offers bery unique perspective in life and work that even universities ranked 25 in the world do not. E.g. in that case in UK I would say invest time and money only if you are able to study in Oxford, Cambridge or London Business School. These 3 are really the best 15 in the world.
It's good to see that you are clear about the league of programs to target. As we tell candidates who work with us, the definition of a 'good' MBA is entirely for them to answer based on their profile strength and career goals. Are you applying this year?
sir i want to take admission in insead business school...what is the suitable profile...i am a civil engineer with one year of working experience ....but i want to work in finance industry as venture capital should i even opt for insead or go for mba in my home country and then go for masters in finance few years later..
Hi Yawar, it would be too early for you to target INSEAD. The average work experience in the class is around 6 years, which is significantly higher that your current experince.
If your long term plans are to be in India, you could consider any good, traditional 2-year MBA in India.
If you're more keen on an international finance career (and don't have the patience to wait for a few more years), then you could consider MFin or MiM degrees. More on both here:
MFin: www.mbacrystalball.com/masters-degree/finance
MiM: www.mbacrystalball.com/masters-degree/masters-in-management-mim
but sir most good colleges like London business school ask for 5 to 6 yrs of experience in finance industry for MFin.....how to cope up with this
@@yawarhayat6802 The barriers to entry for the top schools are always high. LBS MFin has an average age of 29. Many other lower ranked programs may not be as selective. If there are strong reasons why you can't wait, you can look at Indian programs where the costs and risks aren't as high.

Hello Sir,
I am currently in 3rd year, doing BE Mechanical Engineering and Minor in Finance from BITS Pilani, Pilani campus. I am also a Sangeet Visharad in Indian Classical Music. Is my profile good enough to get into 2+2 programs of HBS, Stanford, London business school etc? Can I get into them by enrolling with mba Crystal ball? Can you guide me for the same?
We don't speculate on admission chances. Also keep in mind that no consultant can guarantee success for such highly competitive programs. Focus on building your profile and doing a self-evaluation of your strengths and weaknesses. Then decide the right time to apply.
@@MBACrystalBall thank you for the reply, sir. Can you share your services and fees, particularly for 2+2 program? Where can I find them?
@@miteshkatariya Send us an email when you're ready to apply, and we'll evaluate if we're the right team to help. We'll also share the other details in the response.
I was expecting that you would tell us the means to get into these colleges also
Difficult to cover everything in a short video. We have covered aspects related to applications in other videos.

Hello sir. I am from Nepal I am planning to join mba for the abroad universities. I am first year in BBA. What should I start doing so that I can join MBA after 4th year of my bachelores. What qualifications should I start to receive ?
We recommend working for a few years first, before getting an international MBA.
Try ISB, FMS Delhi, SPJIMR , IIM Ahmedabad & TISS. In case , you want go for MBA straightaway (< 2 yrs of workex)
I'm little confused in Mba and Mfin in Uk
I'm More interested in finance Sector
Is there any scope for it in London ??
London is a powerhouse for financial activity. So yes, plenty of scope if you graduate from a good program. MBA is for more experienced folks who are looking for a broad based education, as opposed to the finance centric MFin.
@@MBACrystalBall Thank You so much Sir

Not very easy to do that with an Indian degree. Do you get any companies on campus that recruit for international opportunities?
@@MBACrystalBall no sir!!😶
@@sangramkamble7061 A couple of options. You can work for a few years in an MNC and then try for an internal transfer abroad. Or apply directly to the company overseas where you want to work.
Hello Sir,
I have been working as a Cabin Crew with an International Airline. I wish to pursue MBA from Canada. Where all can I apply with this work experience?
Thanks & Regards.
While applying make sure you connect your unique (and unconventional) pre-MBA skills to your post MBA goals. We've covered several good MBA programs in Canada that you could look at: ruclips.net/video/j6tU7oAXXAc/видео.html
