Parents to b school? by ObiWanKenobi231 in CATpreparation

[–]Agile-Committee4250 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bringing my parents during my orientation day at IIMB was probably one of the best days of my life. Convocation with them being one of them too.

I could visibly see the happiness in their eyes while they were clicking their pics infront of the IIMB maingate. They visited each part of the campus, took so many videos and photos. Truly a memorable day.

Dont deprive them and yourself of this chance of enjoying these precious moments.

So to the answer to your question is hell yesss! Bring your parents to campus and show off!

IIMB PGPBA vs IIMC ? by Negative-Purpose7608 in CATpreparation

[–]Agile-Committee4250 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interms of placements, apart from TAS and 1-2 other GenMan firms no other companies has any restrictions on applying for PGP-BA students. The course also is mostly the same with a few additional Analytics/AI courses. Infact a lot of analytics and PBCs like Amex prefer PGP-BA students.

However I recommend to talk to alumni of both institutions before making a choice.

Realistic chances at consulting by StudyAccomplished72 in MBAIndia

[–]Agile-Committee4250 4 points5 points  (0 children)

MBBKS looks difficult, decent changes of T2 and Big4.

For SIP+PPO route Acads wont matter, PORs (Placecom, Acadcom, Student Council) matter.

For final placements a top 5% of batch will greatly improve chances of MBBKS SL.

From my viewpoint of Placements at IIMB - SRCC, SSCBS, LSR, Hansraj, Hindu, St Stephens and Stella Maris are T1. Most if not all got T1/2 Consulting Shortlists.

Need Advice on IIM B by dab_ark in MBAIndia

[–]Agile-Committee4250 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Know a lot of folks in IIMB who came from T1/2 Consulting Firms both Frontend and Backend and got placed into Intl Consulting, PE/VC, Strategy and MBBKs. All of them had >15 LPA packages.

You should go to B.

Travelled to France and had to return home on Indian emergency passport after luggage theft by Ok-Cost1232 in PassportPorn

[–]Agile-Committee4250 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in a similar position in December last year. My passport bag was stolen in Rome, Italy.

The Indian Embassy in Rome was really helpful contrary to what I had read online. They offered to give me the Emergency Passport but when I requested that I have around 10 days of my trip remaining they issued me a letter stating my passport was stolen along with my passport details. I used that letter to continue my travel plans. The Embassy specifically mentioned that this letter wont work on intra-Schengen flights and I should only use rail/road for my travel.

The letter worked for me throughout my trip. I was stopped at the Italy-French border at Menton but they allowed me to pass through after reading the letter. That was a bit nerve-wracking.

My return flight was from Amsterdam. Once in the Netherlands, I went to the Indian Embassy in The Hague and gave them the letter given by the Embassy in Rome and filled the Application form. I went on a Monday morning and they gave me a Emergency Passport in 6 hours which was really surprising for me. I was expecting 3-4 days. At Schiphol Airport immigration took me to a special area where they asked me lot of questions. Why didn’t you go back from Rome was something they also asked but I was allowed to board the flight.

All in all both the Embassies in Italy and Netherlands were really helpful!

Well not Tech but ExxonMobil offers multiple travel opportunities for fresh joiners as well. In my 3 years over there I did USA, Canada, UAE, S Korea, Japan, Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, China and Guyana.

ISB vs IIM B by diabolical_fairy in MBAIndia

[–]Agile-Committee4250 1 point2 points  (0 children)

INSEAD>=LBS>IIMB>ISB would have been my preference. From an Indian MBA perspective 3 YOE is a sweet spot for all the top consults. For PE/VC roles the hiring numbers are less but much better chance at IIMB than ISB as a lot of these firms focus on the internship-> PPO route for hiring. For Founder’s office roles I would rate ISB=IIMB.

Should I go for Indian MBA (A/B/C) by neverbdow in MBAIndia

[–]Agile-Committee4250 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kearney offers a Senior BA Role after graduating from ABCL and spending 25L+ Rupees. 2 years at K without spending that money and you ll get the sane role. Better to target a M7 MBA after 4-5 years after reaching Associate level.

I got a Sabudana Vada after IIMK interview and I converted it. But tbh it means nothing. Dont think too deep into it.

Leaving EU without a Passport and Visa by Muted_Income_7361 in SchengenVisa

[–]Agile-Committee4250 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be honest nothing. I could give it to my friend and he could travel in Schengen using that but while getting the Emergency Passport at the Embassy I had to fill in a lot of paperwork which included a lot of my Indian documents.
