How to make the most out of your MBA degree

Prevailing is the season of choice, the choice of programs, disciplines and specialization streams. Doing a business management degree course is one of the choices that almost every graduate thinks about and evaluates at least once during this time of his life. A business management degree undoubtedly provides you with the plethora of skills and aptitude that a successful future business leader needs. It provides you with a vision of a thriving tomorrow. It endows you with the power to imagine yourself as being able to command a promising future and career. But not all who undertake this course make up to be leaders. It takes something more than just occupying a seat in a good business school and attending the lectures and submitting assignments on time. Hereunder are enumerated some of the very vital requirement which a business school student should fulfill in order to make the most out of his/her management degree.

1)    Curiosity to Absorb: an MBA student’s brain should work like a sponge during the two years of his business management degree. By this we mean that students must acquire as much as they can by the means of observation, adaptation and curiosity to acquire and retain knowledge. In a degree course like that of MBA students are not always expected to be buried under books and lecture notes. But they are expected to have their eyes and senses always open to new facts, happenings and incidents around them. It is therefore necessary that they keep their curiosity quotient to be above the average mark.

2)    Read your way to success: in this age of computers, laptops and mobiles, reading the conventional books and journals has been something that students often forget. But, in fact reading is a very easy way to learn not only about the recent developments around you but it also helps in developing strong writing and speaking skills. Reading also helps a lot while learning business communication and writing official transcripts.

3)    Recreation without technology: as I said earlier that mobiles and technology has been so much into our life these days that students never think of doing something that does not involve technology. I would suggest that students should make time to be with themselves for some time each day. That helps a lot to rethink their way of taking things. They should realize that ultimately they will have to face and lead their world by themselves. So why not make most out of these two years to rethink the way they have been till date.

4)    Self development is the key: two years of the MBA degree course should be taken as training period by the students. In fact, business management degree is not about learning something out of the world. It is about developing perspective through learning and training. For students who are from commerce background, some subjects that are taught during the two years seem to be more of reinforcement of what they have already learnt in graduation and senior high school. But the key to learning in MBA lies in application and reinforcement of the concepts earlier learnt.

Apart from the points mentioned earlier, it is important that regular and guest lectures, industry visits and field visits should be taken sincerely by the students. After all the more you sweat, the more you learn. The phenomena of learning are the most celebrated ones at Asia Pacific Institute of Management. APIM is the most sought after name in management education in India. Here education is made as enjoyable as possible by friendly and learned faculty. Hope to see you soon at the next GD PI session.

What it takes to be successful in whatever you do after completing MBA.

business school in delhi

Who does not want to be successful? We all do. We all strive hard to be successful and happy thereafter. And the fact that challenges and competition is not unobvious is also true. There is competition around us in each sphere and walk of life. But why is it that only some of us are able to embrace success and some are just left behind in the race. To have a clinch over success and fame graduates now a days are considering a business degree to be essential to make them equipped with the skills and knowledge which the competition tight corporate world desires. This thought of pursuing a business degree is indeed a smart step but apart from the books and lectures students attend to, there are certain other aspects of a student’s personality that needs to be focused upon. Off course the role of faculty and mentors during the two years of study is inevitable but one cannot deny the importance of efforts of a candidate himself and how effectively does he pick up good changes in him/her persona. Following are certain aspects of thinking and personality development that need to be strengthened in order to be successful after a student completes MBA course. 

1)      Humanity first: Students often have a misnomer that after MBA he/she is skilled enough to grab success at any cost. And that since he/she has become a master in business administration it is okay to be going beyond any boundary to reap targets and reach maximum profit figures for his/her company. Whereas if we look around us for a moment we will be able to see many professionals, CEOs, companies and corporations who have had adopted wrong means and methods to achieve success. All that can be said is if humanitarian and ethical grounds are taken parallel in consideration by our new generation of business professionals while doing business or a job, then there will be more transparency, belief and a culture of trust prevailing in the investors and other stake holders of the corporation and that will ultimately lead to more profits instead of applying short term tricks to befool stake holders and getting some short term raises and promotions as a professional.

2)      CSR centric policy making: Ever since CSR spending has become mandatory especially after the rolling out of the new Indian Companies Act 2013, it is truly a buzzword and a hot cake sort of a discussion topic. That too CSR activities need to be ongoing instead of a once in a while affair. Hence, the need of the hour is to take societal objectives almost parallel in each function and aspect of business that the new managers would be asked to handle.

But how is all the above discussion going to be happening overnight when the students have not developed their thinking in the same way while they were getting trained for the last two years of their academic life in a b-school? So, the key to open this lock is that students should always learn to manage business aspects in a way that there is possibility of maximum benefit to the society at large. Because whatever entrepreneurial activity the students are going to do in future, its success will surely depend on how beneficial is it for the masses at large. To testify the same, almost all of the new startups including endless entrepreneurial creativity are successful because they addressed the issues of the public at large and hence became successful.

Asia Pacific Institute of Management is a leading name in the aura of top b-schools in India. At Asia Pacific Institute of Management, we strive hard to make the students more and more sensitive towards social and societal issues and also entrepreneurship while being taught and mentored is done in a way that’s students realize and identify the real need of the hour of public at large and then articulate some entrepreneurial solutions to those issues.

How to select Best B School?

Getting utmost education is the aim of every aspirant. However, to attain this aim it is necessary for a student to select his/her B-School carefully. Sometimes important factors for attaining education are ignored which becomes disastrous for students in the upcoming future. Studying for a management program requires a huge investment of time, money and energy, so it is crucial to ensure the choice of programme and business school meets the desired needs.

 Before making any final choice, one should visit the campus to get a sense of the culture and atmosphere and to see whether he/she would fit in. Talk to students, professors and alumni who work in jobs one is aiming for. Look at the profile of students in terms of professional experience, cultural background and gender, as classmates can also contribute to learning and form part of the network. Taking a long-term view, find out how active and widespread the alumni group is. Alumni can provide valuable careers information and advice and can help raise funds for that start-up one can have in mind. 

Asia Pacific Institute of Management for example, has alumni in more than 20 countries. “After a lot of considerations, eventually chose to be a part of AIM and today I am proud of being an AIM alumnus” says Garima Bhandari, Pursuing Doctoral Programme, South Carolina, USA. Moreover, students can also go through College Brand, promotional materials, placement records, training facilities, and published rankings. In the whole NCR, APIM is the only institute which provides summer internship to its students. At the end, it’s the future of a student which can be nourished in safe hands only.
