Subject: MBA after B.A
Date: 12-Aug-2008
Question: I have passed B.A. in this year having 45% marks. I want to do an MBA. where should I study? please give me the necessary information.
Answer: MBA preparations are different than preparations that one does for school and college examinations. MBA is more of a life time exam. This is because you are asked about everything that you have learnt right from your childhood to college level. English, Math Data interpretation and General Knowledge are four areas where a student in generally tested. For preparing for MBA entrance level exams, you can either join coaching classes like IMS, TIME, and Career Launcher etc. or start preparation on your own. It is always better to start preparation atleast two years in advance before you want to give MBA entrance exams. You can start preparing at home or in office by taking vocabulary and grammar tests online and enhancing your English by reading a lot of good books. You can also start working on your Math by learning all basic formulas from school and college text books. Remember: the more you practice, the better the preparations. It is also important to read newspapers and magazines to improve on your General Knowledge. There are GK questions that are asked for entrance exams conducted by Symbiosis, Narsee Monjee etc. The latest trend in MBA entrance exams is the personality tests that are conducted along with the above tests. This is done because MBA does require people with good personalities and risk taking abilities- People that have the qualities to become an effective leader.

You can also read books on management and MBA along with magazines that are dedicated to MBA as a career.

Since you have secure only 45% in your B.A exam, you are eligible only to appear for CET. Or you an opt for MBA offered by IGNOU.

All the best
