Pursuing MBA abroad: how to shine in the application?
MBA is one of the most demanding courses in the world. Especially among Indian students, MBA is considered as a brand value in the job market. Also, securing MBA degree from top universities in the world, like Stanford, Harvard etc are dream for many students. When we look into the actual reality of getting admission in these top branded universities, we can easily find out that they offer only very minimum number of seats for business courses. The main reason for these minimum seats is their high quality provided in offering education. So, if you really wish to get a seat in these top business schools in the world, you must ensure that you get equipped with all the necessary requirements that they demand from the students. Here, this article is to provide some tips for Indian students, who wish to pursue MBA from top universities like Stanford, on the basic requirements needed for getting a seat.
India holds the second position in the world for its population statistics. In the population classification India’s young population is much higher than all the other countries. This also makes Indians to face more competition in acquiring their higher education, based on their choices and interests. Similarly we can see this competition in MBA admission also, in these top universities. The famous business schools will always try to maintain in the top of the list, by achieving high academic outputs. So, their cut off will also be in a higher level, which should be met to possess a seat for the courses. Now days, the universities also gives parameters outside academic performances, to improve the quality of the quality of their education system.
Generally Indian candidates are more magnificent in scoring good marks in GMAT. But when we look through the requirements they demanded in previous years, we can find out that they look for some things beyond academic percentages. This includes that leadership qualities, innovative skills and so on. Also, vast knowledge made on reading habits is also one of the demanding things. Indian education system is not that much open towards reading habits, till now, usually Indian schools follow spoon feeding system of teaching where every bit of syllabus is taught and given notes by the instructors themselves. But in western countries like US, they open their education system to the learning initiated by students, from the secondary classes itself, which will allow the students to find out the knowledge by their own. This system of learning also makes Indians to find the admission in these top branded institutions a difficult one.
Scholarship or financial assistance is the other reason which creates demand to choose MBA course in an international school, among Indians. Usually the money required to complete international education is more than affordable for Indian communities. This cost includes tuition fee, accommodation charges and so on. The international education programs in countries like US also provide opportunities to work in the country, to meet the financial expenses of the students. The increasing demand for admission is also reflected in the job market, where less skilled people cannot survive with others. If you really wish to shine in the job market, you should get equipped with innovation and creativity. You should always look to deliver quality outputs from your works.
Moreover, delivering unique outcomes are also important in today’s education system. If there are 35 students including you in the class, you should make yourself shine apart from the rest 34. This uniqueness can be small or large, which generally have no importance. The only thing needed is being different, which will help to get identified in the career, as well as in education life. In order to get this, you should increase your talents and skills, by getting more open towards learning multi disciplinary things.
Indian students are quite good in making scores in exams like GMAT. But the actual issue lies with the communication and writing skills, where Indian candidates do not shine up to the expectation level. This is also the drawback of Indian education, where students are generally less open towards reading and communicating. The students, who even score top marks in exams, will shiver in their discussion and interview part, which will be considered as less confident. Also, the English knowledge of students should also get filtered, to make them good in communication in a global platform.
Furthermore, the vision on the goals and ambitions should also get modified. While addressing a question about your future ideas, you must satisfy the questioner with your words. If you fail to do so, you cannot shine in the place. Also, your creative and effective plans will give you enough points to secure an admission in these prestigious schools. So, we should work on improving our non-academic aspects like communication, innovations, speaking and reading knowledge if we really wish to study abroad. This is same for MBA and other top courses in the world.
