I completely agree with your points! for the second point you mentioned, that's something even my parents kept asking! But tell me this, just a year ago, were you not a completely different person from now? 1 year is enough to change our perceptions about many things, it did for me too and that's why I took this decision! + I could finally focus on my academy after CAT and that's when it took off! I got more than 70 students just by applying the basics of digital marketing. I simply took a chance, I was reading about the founder of Souled Store and he did the same too! Got admission at the top IIMs and didn't take it up to pursue his love for starting a business. It's all about taking that chance!

Refreshing to hear different opinions than the usual spoonfeeding that many other creators offer. It takes a lot of courage to let go of such an opportunity 👏
Maybe not an IIM, but you can surely target other b schools which are requesting low fee with high package like JB, FMS, SIMSREE etc. It is important to understand why you really need to do an mba and what your end goal is. If it is to get a job and get stability or if you want to pursue entrepreneurial journey choice is yours, but it is very important to know it beforehand before joining the b school cause for the next two years you are definitely committed.

Hey Vanshika, great content! Thankyou for your beautiful insights and congratulations 🎉 But I feel that the title to this video is quite inappropriate, like you are not a IIM drop out because you did not join in first place😅 rather it should be - why I *rejected* or *did not take a seat* at top iim..... Also how do we subscriber's believe that you were actually selected? Because like really, even IITians with lump sum packages would leave jobs and get into IIM..... How could you resist? Just curious
haha that's quite natural to feel that ways; perhaps in my next video I'll post the screenshot of the emails I got. That's why I put the screenshot of my percentile too :) Also I'm glad you're questioning the credibility!! It's best to not blindly believe anyone on social media so it's a good step forward by you❤❤
It's tru that the pgdm/mba courses are outdated , they much focus on behavioural part in corporate with some mba jargon + excel + a good alumni network (networking can be done on linkedin as well ) .
Good decision i must say , because i was in the same situation and i can tell people will say that you took a wrong decision because they were not at the place at which we were so yess.. and also it is completely fine for them to think that way everybody has their own point of views
Hi, i am convinced with your all reason . But one thing is bothering me if you had done cost analysis about the fees and structure why you even wrote the cat exam? And about the student exchange program, not everyone goes for student exchange programs but they still do better in their lives.
Honestly I just joined all my peers into writing CAT exam; I did the cost analysis when I was done with the exam. During the exam with so much stress I didn’t focus on all of these things. But if I had to go through the prep again, I’d do it because it truly made me more productive and serious about my career!
I am 20 years old , just graduated from university of Delhi , applied off campus got placed in Deloitte USI , I am a fresher so i will be obviously getting less (around 6 Lpa ), many of my friends told me to give CAT and dont join the firm now ( i will be joining around July end ) but i am skeptical about CAT , I will definitely give CAT but thinking to Join Deloitte and I am very clear i dont want to join top IIM's cause ROI is a trap there , either FMS , JBIMS ,DSE ,TISS . Kindly share your opinion if possible
@@riya4082 just go to their website you will the option for applying and then they will mail you , if you resume got selected and then , there will be an aptitude test you have to clear that and then interview round (bit complex for off campus I would say, so revise all your concept properly) and then you will get the mail and call for location selection and then LOI and then ctc breakup
Kaafi clarity h aapko vanshika. I tried for IIM 3 years and couldn't make to a 90 percentile too. I was mad at myself. But after watching you i feel ki chalo theek h i must focus on myself like you. I must not feel so bad. Its ok. 🙏
That may be your choice but ROI is always not sole factor. Learning key skills, diverse cohort and international exposure are some of the benefits. Bank do not give loan for start ups without collateral. A middle class person has no option but to enter a premier institute.
MBA from India (all top colleges - minus FMS) make sense only if you are getting your MBA sponsored through parents (already very well to do family), else initial first 5 year post MBA with almost 25-30 lacs of debt will be really overwhelming. If you have already graduated from a decent college with a tech degree after 5-10 years, you will find hardly any difference in salaries. If already doing great in your jobs or have got decent start in some decent firm with decent profile, stick to it. I am mentioning this from my own experience, as what we see in placement report (all the glorification) is only 5% of batch (cream of the cream).
Let few people be in a different realm. Don't force your opinion on others, please. World is so beautiful as there are plenty of choices to exercise and dreams to pursue...
Hi didi ! Correct me if I'm wrong . The students of IIM Lucknow were unplaced because of the reason that IIM Lucknow didn't want them to be placed below 20LPA and later within 2-3 months , all of them were placed above 20LPA. Am i correct ?
@@awfreefire2222 hey! Actually they were unable to even get 20k per month internship at that time. So they asked the companies to inflate the CTC to place all of their students and also maintain their average package! Ultimately the students didn’t get full value of the money they invested for MBA
@careervanshika So what happened then ? Do you have the insider's information ? I'm not asking you in a criticizing manner , so don't get me wrong . I'm just curious about that thing . And thank you for replying so quickly . :-)
Great👍....you show the other side of cat or mba which is very important to understand for students who brainwashed by the coaching institute for profits. No one will tell about these harsh reality. Before pursuing an mba program from any respective college student must calculate their investment and roi..... Well done 👍👍👍
Hello mam, Mam I really need your guidance, I'm weak in quants and now I have started preparing in June mid ...I was having last year unacademy subscription which is going to end in July Main problem: Should I extend unacademy account or go for Offline classes at TIME ? Which is more better ? Please please guide me asap ... because days are running out I shall be grateful to you mam !
Hello Ramanpreet, I've uploaded a new series answering all of these questions please check that out (getting very hard to explain properly in comments :P) ua-cam.com/video/G1fEUPuAEgI/v-deo.html
Hey, please make a video on how to speak fluently in English 🤧. My tounge always fumbles when i speak and i could not find any right words to say at that moment 🥹
I don’t understand the chronology. It seems as though you invested a significant amount of your time in prep, reaped the results, and then backed out. Doesn’t that have a high opportunity cost? Factors like fees, travel and curriculum are easily accessible regardless of whether you are a student. Is there any particular reason why you didn’t consider them before starting your prep?
@@careervanshika Yes, just because mba didn’t suit your preferences, doesn’t mean it’s the same for others. And while you have mentioned this towards the end of your video, I doubt part of the viewers watched that.. relating this to the OP’s comment. They mentioned they stopped cat prep based on solely this video, when it shouldn’t be the case. Maybe “this” video triggers you to introspect to research/reflect further and THEN reach your conclusion rather than getting swayed away off a video. If it makes sense. No hate to you.
i appriciate ur decision u have taken ur decision after calculated all the risk factors, but fun fact is u rejected those bschool which are my dream 😅colleges like IIMK, and this is my 2nd year of cat prepration. but hope so u will get what u want in life. All the best.
tbh i am thinking like you i have also done digital marketing and generate better reuslt but i am doing my prepration for mba beacuse i am from low middle class family
The points said here are the actual truth. I stopped my CAT preparation and started a business full time in global distribution. Life is amazing so far, traveling, working as I wish and earning as I wish. Which wouldn't have happened if I had done MBA and become an employee.
I agree what you said calculation part but IIM is not only providing highest average package,but in two years of time,you can build a startup and over there with your IIM network.and you can adopt their knowledge.
@@careervanshika for only networking purpose I'm trying to join in IIM (Bangalore) Presently focusing on cat. Thanks for your information. I really appreciate you for this video 🙌.
Hello Vanshika. Your videos are just amazing and helpful. I had purchased your study material.. I just want to talk to you to discuss some issues and doubts.. Please help!!🙏🏻🙏🏻
Such a blunt and raw video. Thanks for your insights! while all the other influencers are glorifying MBA, you are showing us the ground reality of how every small thing matters for taking a descision.
Should a person with 12 lpa( 15 lpa adding allowances) and who can get promoted to 15-16 lpa ctc in 2-3 years prepare for iim? Will it be worth it to study for two years leaving this current job? Also person has no parental financial back up.. Came from very poor background. And his motive to do mba is only to increase salary and level up financially
FMS is the way to entrepreneurship, charging only 2 Lakh for the entire MBA. Even I scored 97% ile in 2022, & get new iim calls, but didn't join any of them because of hefty fees.
While preparing for CAT, I didn't focus on other things. The exam was my main focus, I started factoring in the cost later on. On top of that in February itself, I made 50% more profits through my venture, it started picking up. It was a well calculated decision. Many people drop out of IIMs after a year or two to pursue their venture. It's all about when you get the calling for it and what your intuition is telling you.
Entire video sums up to : " I didn't wanted to invest this much of money , rather wanted to invest it in some entrepreneurial venture" ...that's all she has to say , fair enough...

Hi, so my aim is to scale my business to at least 10 CR; if I'm not able to reach that then I'd go for MBA from ISB to get into consulting and build a high value network there. Consulting would give me great exit options. Though I am quite confident I'd be able to grow my business well :)
great video!!❤ what about top 50 colleges will they be worth it?...or should we join corporate now and gain experience and we will reach the same level as those who do it from top 50 colleges?
Always aim for top 30 (in my opinion) + work experience is always better, it gives you industry experience and that ways you learn better during your MBA!
@@careervanshika if i start my preparation now for cat i dont think i could score much plus i have gap years of two years. So it better that i dont give CAT this year and get an entry level job elsewhere and work for two years or Give CAT and take admission in Tier 2 colleges or average colleges. Which is better in your opinion Vanshika!!
Didi yoh re right fees is just can't say so i always also aspired to become an entrepreneur not thiniking of joining iim bec of the fees any suggestions
if you really want to do entrepreneurship then you can just join colleges like fms , jb, iit bombay and delhi these are just top tier colleges and at the same time fees aree very less as compared to iims .. the roi you are getting is great.. there should be also no loan burden..
@@suvamkanjilal3049 I didn’t get a shortlist at FMS, non- Maharashtrians require 99.99% for JB, I didn’t apply for IIT Bombay (chances of humanities students converting is slim). It was a really well calculated decision, not taken in vain.
taking a gap or choosing any b school is definitely the worst choice you can make. Try getting some work experience, try some business, try something but just preparing for the test is gonna make you weak by seeing your peers doing well and you at stagnant place.
please make a video on how can a person from tier 3 can get high package. Like you said udemy ka course was much better than what you were taught at IIM so please suggest some courses and everything
Sahi kiya sister, Being an IIM Grad, that too from main IIM, I suggest same to folks that due to disappointing time in market, this time doing MBA from even IIM is like committing suicide. I know it's ironical for me to say so afterall I am alumnus of some main IIM too. Still you took right decision
First of all You could've tried for FMS Second yes B-schools can't give you entrepreneurial skills, nobody can, but nobody can deny that iim iit tag doesn't matter it certainly does Third it is always advised to pay a bit more than emi so that you payoff your principal amount faster thus paying off your debt early. These points are in no way to undermine your decision but just some insight.
@@billibenjamin everyone is talking about FMS, but you have to get a shortlist there in the first place!! I applied didn’t get through; I wasn’t going to spend another year trying for CAT again when I could have spent that working on my venture. We all want the rewards in life but not take the risk. Higher the risk, higher the reward.
Hi i have same concerns also i am already 25/26 can we please get in touch i would like to diacuss about your venture. It will be really helpful. Thanks

Ma'am aapki video 6th reason tak sahi lagi. Uske baad koi baat mujhe theek nahi lagri. Curriculum is great at IIM most are visiting faculties there. Top industry people. And the un placed you talk about is not the PGP students for 2 yr MBA . Therw are various courses there. All cumulative students may sum up to 250. A lot of FreeRiders students are at IIM who don't take it seriously just waste seats because of reservations. All deserving ones must only get placed. Par aapko apne hi niche ka itna gyaan h ki aapke liye aaj MBA se better aapka venture hoga. I've seen people with their own great venture...close them and go to IIM and close those companies because of 2 yr gap from their company.
I appreciate all your points but you said at 30s you will be loan free but at that point of time you will be more involved into having a family and hence entrepreneurship seems difficult then, but is that not just a myth? Why do we see career and family as opposite poles? Why can't you be an entrepreneur while making a family? I know making a family takes time, but family can also be a strong pillar of support for you entrepreneurship career. Have seen many successful mothers and wives excelling this field.
Hey, I can get why it would seem like that! If you don't have children by then, then it's alright. But in today's economy raising even 1 child is quite expensive! That's why dual income is needed to run a household. Financially taking that risk in your 30s could be really hard and demotivating + the pressure to get money quiz could also add as a burden since most people will have to contribute financially eventually. It's not very common to find a high earning spouse; that's just my take on it😀
I wanted to know few things, The fees and EMI are known to everyone even during CAT preparation, why did you choose to waste your time for preparation when you already know the factors involved. How will writing GMAT help? ISB or any other college abroad, is more costlier than IIMs, that will also require loan. How will you repay that, even though you might be able to earn more than India, but what abt the Purchase Power Parity, and EMI again"
Hi, so my aim is to scale my business to at least 10 CR; if I'm not able to reach that then I'd go for MBA from ISB to get into consulting and build a high value network there. Consulting would give me great exit options to hopefully start out again + 10 years working in a consulting firm people can make 2CR+ (considering the fact they kept hustling at their firms) Though I am quite confident I'd be able to grow my business well :)

But I feel that the title to this video is quite inappropriate, like you are not a IIM drop out because you did not join in first place😅 rather it should be - why I *rejected* or *did not take a seat* at top iim.....
Also how do we subscriber's believe that you were actually selected? Because like really, even IITians with lump sum packages would leave jobs and get into IIM..... How could you resist?
Just curious
haha that's quite natural to feel that ways; perhaps in my next video I'll post the screenshot of the emails I got. That's why I put the screenshot of my percentile too :) Also I'm glad you're questioning the credibility!! It's best to not blindly believe anyone on social media so it's a good step forward by you❤❤

It's tru that the pgdm/mba courses are outdated , they much focus on behavioural part in corporate with some mba jargon + excel + a good alumni network (networking can be done on linkedin as well ) .
Good decision i must say , because i was in the same situation and i can tell people will say that you took a wrong decision because they were not at the place at which we were so yess.. and also it is completely fine for them to think that way everybody has their own point of views
Hi, i am convinced with your all reason . But one thing is bothering me if you had done cost analysis about the fees and structure why you even wrote the cat exam? And about the student exchange program, not everyone goes for student exchange programs but they still do better in their lives.
Honestly I just joined all my peers into writing CAT exam; I did the cost analysis when I was done with the exam. During the exam with so much stress I didn’t focus on all of these things. But if I had to go through the prep again, I’d do it because it truly made me more productive and serious about my career!
exactly
if you already knew about it, why did you bother giving the exam at all
I am 20 years old , just graduated from university of Delhi , applied off campus got placed in Deloitte USI , I am a fresher so i will be obviously getting less (around 6 Lpa ), many of my friends told me to give CAT and dont join the firm now ( i will be joining around July end ) but i am skeptical about CAT , I will definitely give CAT but thinking to Join Deloitte and I am very clear i dont want to join top IIM's cause ROI is a trap there , either FMS , JBIMS ,DSE ,TISS .
Kindly share your opinion if possible
Hey how did you get into Deloitte?
I'm looking for opportunities as well(bba grad)
please brief it thank you :)
Go for workex buds ! Alongside you can kickstart your prep
How you applied for Deloitte usinoff campus?
@@riya4082 just go to their website you will the option for applying and then they will mail you , if you resume got selected and then , there will be an aptitude test you have to clear that and then interview round (bit complex for off campus I would say, so revise all your concept properly) and then you will get the mail and call for location selection and then LOI and then ctc breakup
@@shubhiiS6750 thank you , isn’t like önce you start earning you wouldn’t be able to focus on CAt ? Many told me this but yeah i am goona go corporate
All points were on point. Nice decision.
❤❤
Kaafi clarity h aapko vanshika. I tried for IIM 3 years and couldn't make to a 90 percentile too. I was mad at myself. But after watching you i feel ki chalo theek h i must focus on myself like you. I must not feel so bad. Its ok. 🙏
Unfiltered and brutal .your speaking skills awesome
thank you!!
thanks a lot for sharing your perspective.
❤️❤️😊
You will be the great entrepreneur for sure
That may be your choice but ROI is always not sole factor. Learning key skills, diverse cohort and international exposure are some of the benefits.
Bank do not give loan for start ups without collateral. A middle class person has no option but to enter a premier institute.
The way you articulate your self and your thoughts i think mba isnt needed to mold you. You will go hights girl ❤
MBA from India (all top colleges - minus FMS) make sense only if you are getting your MBA sponsored through parents (already very well to do family), else initial first 5 year post MBA with almost 25-30 lacs of debt will be really overwhelming. If you have already graduated from a decent college with a tech degree after 5-10 years, you will find hardly any difference in salaries. If already doing great in your jobs or have got decent start in some decent firm with decent profile, stick to it. I am mentioning this from my own experience, as what we see in placement report (all the glorification) is only 5% of batch (cream of the cream).
Let few people be in a different realm. Don't force your opinion on others, please. World is so beautiful as there are plenty of choices to exercise and dreams to pursue...
Hi didi ! Correct me if I'm wrong . The students of IIM Lucknow were unplaced because of the reason that IIM Lucknow didn't want them to be placed below 20LPA and later within 2-3 months , all of them were placed above 20LPA. Am i correct ?
@@awfreefire2222 hey! Actually they were unable to even get 20k per month internship at that time. So they asked the companies to inflate the CTC to place all of their students and also maintain their average package! Ultimately the students didn’t get full value of the money they invested for MBA
@careervanshika So what happened then ? Do you have the insider's information ? I'm not asking you in a criticizing manner , so don't get me wrong . I'm just curious about that thing . And thank you for replying so quickly . :-)
Great👍....you show the other side of cat or mba which is very important to understand for students who brainwashed by the coaching institute for profits. No one will tell about these harsh reality. Before pursuing an mba program from any respective college student must calculate their investment and roi.....
Well done 👍👍👍
🥰🥰
Why didnt u opt for cheaper mba
Hello mam,
Mam I really need your guidance, I'm weak in quants and now I have started preparing in June mid ...I was having last year unacademy subscription which is going to end in July
Main problem: Should I extend unacademy account or go for Offline classes at TIME ? Which is more better ?

why you have not gone for FMS delhi?
you have to get the shortlist from FMS to get in it hahah
😂😂@@careervanshika
99.5+ 😂
I don’t understand the chronology. It seems as though you invested a significant amount of your time in prep, reaped the results, and then backed out. Doesn’t that have a high opportunity cost? Factors like fees, travel and curriculum are easily accessible regardless of whether you are a student. Is there any particular reason why you didn’t consider them before starting your prep?
your point makes sense vanshika should answer that
But u could go for fms dehli..if u got 98.8percentile
Thanks a lot from bottom of my heart 💜❤️
glad I could help!!
I stopped preparing For CAT because of this video 😊
Good luck to you for your future aspirations 🔥🤞
I stopped watching this video after I saw your comment😂
Don’t let her manipulate you
@@nori9779 It's better to be fully aware than later regret.
@@careervanshika Yes, just because mba didn’t suit your preferences, doesn’t mean it’s the same for others. And while you have mentioned this towards the end of your video, I doubt part of the viewers watched that.. relating this to the OP’s comment. They mentioned they stopped cat prep based on solely this video, when it shouldn’t be the case. Maybe “this” video triggers you to introspect to research/reflect further and THEN reach your conclusion rather than getting swayed away off a video. If it makes sense. No hate to you.
i appriciate ur decision u have taken ur decision after calculated all the risk factors, but fun fact is u rejected those bschool which are my dream 😅colleges like IIMK, and this is my 2nd year of cat prepration. but hope so u will get what u want in life. All the best.
Are u a clg student or ur in break yr?
@@vaishnavi.s2062 break yr an i just completed my grad last year in july

I hope you're able to get to your dream college! Good luck for the prep!

Kindly get your facts right guys. 32 lakhs is not per annum, its for the whole course time. 0:49
Yes! Sometimes I make mistakes while quoting fees haha; thanks for pointing out
U don't need to be so brutal with that may be a slip of tongue
tbh i am thinking like you i have also done digital marketing and generate better reuslt but i am doing my prepration for mba beacuse i am from low middle class family
The points said here are the actual truth. I stopped my CAT preparation and started a business full time in global distribution. Life is amazing so far, traveling, working as I wish and earning as I wish. Which wouldn't have happened if I had done MBA and become an employee.
hey, can you tell me how you did that!?
Meet u soon with crazy founder from Du, ENTERPENURE like me, I am so glad so i found your video ❤❤🙏🙏

I agree what you said calculation part but IIM is not only providing highest average package,but in two years of time,you can build a startup and over there with your IIM network.and you can adopt their knowledge.
Absolutely! The exposure and network you get at IIMs is just brilliant!
@@careervanshika for only networking purpose I'm trying to join in IIM (Bangalore) Presently focusing on cat.
Thanks for your information.
I really appreciate you for this video 🙌.
Hello Vanshika. Your videos are just amazing and helpful. I had purchased your study material.. I just want to talk to you to discuss some issues and doubts.. Please help!!🙏🏻🙏🏻
Such a blunt and raw video. Thanks for your insights! while all the other influencers are glorifying MBA, you are showing us the ground reality of how every small thing matters for taking a descision.
thank you! and glad I could help :)
ma'am what are you currently doing
Itni research preparation start karne se pehle kar lete to kitna accha hota 🥹
Should a person with 12 lpa( 15 lpa adding allowances)
and who can get promoted to 15-16 lpa ctc in 2-3 years prepare for iim? Will it be worth it to study for two years leaving this current job? Also person has no parental financial back up.. Came from very poor background. And his motive to do mba is only to increase salary and level up financially
Hi mam can you please say that what you study in your pg and which specialization from where?
Hi vanshika really curious to know then why did you prepared for cat. You did not analysed the points before giving cat??
Didn’t you listen properly? She already mentioned that. She said by the time she realised and researched these things, she had already given CAT
@@Serenityy1 thank you for mentioning that :P
FMS is the way to entrepreneurship, charging only 2 Lakh for the entire MBA. Even I scored 97% ile in 2022, & get new iim calls, but didn't join any of them because of hefty fees.
I was hoping to get into FMS, but didn't get the shortlist :(
Then which college you converted?
@@sketcherbuntybunty8627 14 IIMS
Thanks for the video, really opened my eyes to new perspectives.
Why didn't you calculate this before preparing or appearing for CAT ?????
While preparing for CAT, I didn't focus on other things. The exam was my main focus, I started factoring in the cost later on. On top of that in February itself, I made 50% more profits through my venture, it started picking up. It was a well calculated decision. Many people drop out of IIMs after a year or two to pursue their venture. It's all about when you get the calling for it and what your intuition is telling you.
Good to hear that Vanshika. Good luck for your future endeavours. Do let us know your prep strategies in more videos 🥰
Entire video sums up to : " I didn't wanted to invest this much of money , rather wanted to invest it in some entrepreneurial venture" ...that's all she has to say , fair enough...
Why did she prepare for a cat?

okay but why is your 'backup plan' which is ISB / GMAT much more expensive than an MBA from an IIM?
Hi, so my aim is to scale my business to at least 10 CR; if I'm not able to reach that then I'd go for MBA from ISB to get into consulting and build a high value network there. Consulting would give me great exit options. Though I am quite confident I'd be able to grow my business well :)
great video!!❤ what about top 50 colleges will they be worth it?...or should we join corporate now and gain experience and we will reach the same level as those who do it from top 50 colleges?
Always aim for top 30 (in my opinion) + work experience is always better, it gives you industry experience and that ways you learn better during your MBA!
great advice
@@careervanshika if i start my preparation now for cat i dont think i could score much plus i have gap years of two years. So it better that i dont give CAT this year and get an entry level job elsewhere and work for two years or Give CAT and take admission in Tier 2 colleges or average colleges. Which is better in your opinion Vanshika!!
Didi yoh re right fees is just can't say so i always also aspired to become an entrepreneur not thiniking of joining iim bec of the fees any suggestions
Most honest insights given in the video so far !
Thanks for sharing such crucial information.
whats your Gmat score? like Approx:
if you really want to do entrepreneurship then you can just join colleges like fms , jb, iit bombay and delhi these are just top tier colleges and at the same time fees aree very less as compared to iims .. the roi you are getting is great.. there should be also no loan burden..
@@suvamkanjilal3049 I didn’t get a shortlist at FMS, non- Maharashtrians require 99.99% for JB, I didn’t apply for IIT Bombay (chances of humanities students converting is slim). It was a really well calculated decision, not taken in vain.
You sound so mature 😮
I will decide after i have joined one 😊😊😊😊and not by what's others say😊
absolutely! this worked out for me but it won't work for 80% of the people!
I am confused weather i have to take gap and do prepare for CAT or i just into some random college for MBA
This video made me more confused
taking a gap or choosing any b school is definitely the worst choice you can make. Try getting some work experience, try some business, try something but just preparing for the test is gonna make you weak by seeing your peers doing well and you at stagnant place.
It's Better To do MASTERS from Any Of the European Countries.
That's not true; all places have pros and cons
Thanks didi, u always support me❤😊
🥰🥰
didi, i already converted IIM Lucknow these year☺️🤭🥰
@@sanketzade3231 Wow! That's amazing!! Congratulations, I'm sure you worked really hard for this🥰🥰
Btw, I am not worked hard , i do worked smart and converted 16 IIMs in just 7 months of preparation.😌
@@sanketzade3231 sure u have converted these year 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
please make a video on how can a person from tier 3 can get high package. Like you said udemy ka course was much better than what you were taught at IIM so please suggest some courses and everything
Done! I'll post a video on this soon (on how to build your profile)
My package is 14lpa and want to do mba.... Would it be wise decision to go for mba considering current market situation..??
No
98 hours left ( 56 hours of sleep & 42 hours of own time) 😌
Sahi kiya sister, Being an IIM Grad, that too from main IIM, I suggest same to folks that due to disappointing time in market, this time doing MBA from even IIM is like committing suicide. I know it's ironical for me to say so afterall I am alumnus of some main IIM too. Still you took right decision
Dii please make a strategy for cat 2025 as i want to take admission in fms du
Amazing video. Can u share about your music academy, i would love to be a part of it.😊
Please share your views on MBA abroad or make a detailed video.
ma'am can you please share your 10/12 scores?
Hi it's 9/9/9
THE piano behind you shows why you quit IIM
why you didn't look into FMS Delhi
IIt delhi would have been a good pick given the main problem is the cost.
There are a lot of other things I mentioned as well. And like I said it was a risk I was willing to take for my current venture :)
First of all You could've tried for FMS
Second yes B-schools can't give you entrepreneurial skills, nobody can, but nobody can deny that iim iit tag doesn't matter it certainly does
Third it is always advised to pay a bit more than emi so that you payoff your principal amount faster thus paying off your debt early.
These points are in no way to undermine your decision but just some insight.
@@billibenjamin everyone is talking about FMS, but you have to get a shortlist there in the first place!! I applied didn’t get through; I wasn’t going to spend another year trying for CAT again when I could have spent that working on my venture. We all want the rewards in life but not take the risk. Higher the risk, higher the reward.
Hi i have same concerns also i am already 25/26 can we please get in touch i would like to diacuss about your venture. It will be really helpful. Thanks

@@careervanshika Hi it was not about music I am an engineer I wanted to talk to you in general, I do not like corporate job myself i am a recent graduate. You are self employed and that to in a non conventional line, you have created it on your own so i just wanted to have a conversation. Because i want someday to achieve that myself.
Can you please tell me that is there any possible way to enter into top college for mba without cat exam with decent fees structure?
haha that's too much to ask for! You should at least give CAT for FMS (great ROI) or TISSNET
Ma'am aapki video 6th reason tak sahi lagi. Uske baad koi baat mujhe theek nahi lagri. Curriculum is great at IIM most are visiting faculties there. Top industry people. And the un placed you talk about is not the PGP students for 2 yr MBA . Therw are various courses there. All cumulative students may sum up to 250. A lot of FreeRiders students are at IIM who don't take it seriously just waste seats because of reservations. All deserving ones must only get placed. Par aapko apne hi niche ka itna gyaan h ki aapke liye aaj MBA se better aapka venture hoga. I've seen people with their own great venture...close them and go to IIM and close those companies because of 2 yr gap from their company.
I appreciate all your points but you said at 30s you will be loan free but at that point of time you will be more involved into having a family and hence entrepreneurship seems difficult then, but is that not just a myth? Why do we see career and family as opposite poles?
Why can't you be an entrepreneur while making a family? I know making a family takes time, but family can also be a strong pillar of support for you entrepreneurship career. Have seen many successful mothers and wives excelling this field.
Hey, I can get why it would seem like that! If you don't have children by then, then it's alright. But in today's economy raising even 1 child is quite expensive! That's why dual income is needed to run a household. Financially taking that risk in your 30s could be really hard and demotivating + the pressure to get money quiz could also add as a burden since most people will have to contribute financially eventually. It's not very common to find a high earning spouse; that's just my take on it😀
the wisest thing to do when the job market is down is to invest in education, but i see that you did the opposite
A must watch video before pursuing MBA
Do you think ISB 1yr MBA is better than IIMs 2yr MBA
I wanted to know few things,
The fees and EMI are known to everyone even during CAT preparation, why did you choose to waste your time for preparation when you already know the factors involved.
How will writing GMAT help? ISB or any other college abroad, is more costlier than IIMs, that will also require loan. How will you repay that, even though you might be able to earn more than India, but what abt the Purchase Power Parity, and EMI again"
Hi, so my aim is to scale my business to at least 10 CR; if I'm not able to reach that then I'd go for MBA from ISB to get into consulting and build a high value network there. Consulting would give me great exit options to hopefully start out again + 10 years working in a consulting firm people can make 2CR+ (considering the fact they kept hustling at their firms) Though I am quite confident I'd be able to grow my business well :)
I really appreciate your insightful content on CAT preparation. I'm aiming to achieve a 99 percentile in CAT 2025 and would love to get your advice on strategies, tips, and methods to reach this goal. Additionally, I'm looking to build a strong profile by finding case competitions, projects, and other extracurricular opportunities. Could you please share your insights on how to effectively prepare for CAT and enhance my profile simultaneously? Your guidance would be immensely helpful. Thank you
