How to Get Admission in a Good Management College?

Today, a business management degree is most sought after for anyone who wants a career in
the corporate world. You will not be surprised to see that huge number of students sit for MBA
entrance exam every year. All of them aspire to get admission in a good management college.
But, the fierce competition makes it difficult for them to achieve their dreams. The best way to
clear all your troubles is through thorough research about the admission process and colleges
your profile matches with. Know about the eligibility requirements, entrance test procedures
you can read business magazines and search the websites of colleges.

The usual MBA admissions comprise two parts, both of which have significantly different
requirement; one is the entrance examination (CAT / XAT / MAT) and the WAT/GD/PI process.

To crack the CAT depends on how much and how well you are prepared for it. It also depends
on whether your work allows you enough time and energy to prepare. Coaching helps some
students to become regular and get back in touch with some concepts they had last studied
almost 3-4 years ago. It also helps in focusing on specific areas and get accustomed to the
online mode of answering. However, many students have been able to get a good percentile
without coaching. Some students just take test series to assess their preparation and get a feel
of the competition.

But get a decent CAT score is not enough. Getting into a good B-school then depends on a
whole lot of other factors which are beyond CAT. To start with, your 12th and graduation
percentage becomes a judging criterion against many other applicants. However, it is not
impossible to get in to decent college if your score is not great. Academics is one of the criteria,
your WAT/ GD/ PI along with your profile plays a crucial role. The Written Ability Tests (WATs)
or Group Discussions (GDs) requires you to have a firm grip on the current affairs of the
business world, conceptual clarity and clear opinion about the recent happenings in the
corporate arena.

Outside of academics, it requires a stellar profile to convince the interview panel that you can
undertake two years of intensely demanding academic and extracurricular work. Personal
Interview (PI) checks your grip over your concepts, your communication, style your conviction
and overall fit to the college. To prove your fit to the college and exhibition of a decent
personality extracurricular activities help. Participating in competitions during college can
substantiate your claim so participate, and win competitions which are aligned with your
passion. Being able to discipline yourself enough that you are able to win competitions in a field
on a regular basis is an excellent indicator of potential to lead.

Apart from this you opt for community service. Volunteer with local NGOs and genuinely
making a difference will portray you social conscious individual. So if there is a local Rotary
Club, join them and help them organize their community outreach programs. Actively support
these institutions by providing them with more than just a pair of hands.

Your college name, extra - curricular activities, internships etc. do not play any role in getting
you an interview call but they can definitely be instrumental in converting those calls. If you
wish to improve your credentials, you first need to think about the time and effort youre
willing to put in to make that happen. Only, joining clubs or being part of organizing events is
enough. It is to be noted that if you wish to have strong credentials, the time and effort
required to build them up have to be put in. Most often, interviewers can tell the difference
between someone who worked just for a line on a CV, and someone who genuinely put in
effort and earned that recognition.
