For the RC, try focusing on CR first. You'll drastically improve your RC abilities if your CR score improves. For RC, alone, try reading editorials in newspapers to increase your reading speed which can also give you more time to tackle the questions
Thank you so much for this video! I'm a final year student at MIT, Manipal. I'm looking to pursue my master's in management and this video has really given a great insight about the processes involved. 👍♥️
Thats great Raghunath. I am so glad that this helped you :) Do share the video with your friends Just out of curiosity, what was your confusion and which part did you like the most?
Thanks a lot for this video,a very very informative one. Had a lot of my doubts cleared after this. Looking forward for more content in the MiM program👏🏼🙌
Hey Arif! Amazing video. I'm a business undergrad and I've just entered my final year. I have strong extra curriculars and my plan is to maximize my GPA to at least a 3.6 on 4 by the end of my undergrad. I've been thinking about getting into management consultancy and I feel like working w a consultancy firm for at least some time after my undergrad would really help in understanding more about the industry in general. Only then I feel like I would be completely sure about the MiM degree. This was incredibly insightful and please keep doing these videos.
That's great man. It's really amazing that you know what you want to do. A lot of people struggle with that. Aim and achieve the consulting role and then surely realize your MiM goal. All the best 😊 And thank you for watching the video. I hope to keep you as a loyal subscriber :)
Depends here on what you call a low GPA. But yes, it can be compensated in a few cases with other things. If you are going for a master's degree after 2-3 years of graduating from college, you could become a totally different person and not the one who had the low GPA so you can build you story around that and showcase new found motivation.
Hey Arif, Wonderful video, helped me a lot! 😊 Know also that you are helping an undergrad from your school here :) Enjoy your time in Cergy, wish you the best!
I am currently doing B.Tech in Information Technology in VIT Vellore. So, i am asking you if it is mandatory to give a TOEFL/IELTS score along with GMAT score in the LBS application.
If you can get a certificate from VIT stating that the medium of instruction at the college was English then you can ask LBS to exempt you from the English test score. Just drop them a mail and ask.
Hey so talking about ur CGPAs, he said that his extra-curriculars. What I wanted to know is that dis his Experience at KPMG also play a role in his Acceptance?
Definitely. Everything you mention in your application, if relevant, helps and contributes towards your acceptance. Since Siddharth was already in a consulting role at KPMG and his career aspiration after LBS was management consulting, his role at KPMG surely did help him add value and played an important part in getting him that acceptance
Excellent insights and guidance provided by Siddharth for new aspirants of Master degrees in Management abroad. Congrats and all the best for a great international career.
For LBS MiM, you are first shortlisted based on your application File and then interviewed. After that your application File and the feedback provided by your interviewer is again reviewed for a final decision
Hi Arif, I have a query. Having a strong brand name is important for the application but in my case I work for a mid sized company which might not be considered at par with the big4 companies. Does that significantly reduce the chances of getting in a b school? As far as I’ve observed, people with a big brand name get preference even with decent GMAT scores. Please advise.
No, that's actually not the case. The kind of work you have done and the impact that it has made matters more. Whichever company you've worked for, if you have good knowledge about the industry, about the work that you have done then you can very well make your case.
You can email the school and inform that you studied from an english speaking institution. Some schools exempt candidates from the english test score based on their requests.
It is while joining, however, you can always mail the admissions committee and get more clarity for your individual case. Sometimes they are willing to let go of that limit.
Hi Arif, I am a software engineer at Cognizant. With 1.5 years of work ex. Have experienc in leading international events and extra curriculars. 8 CGPA and GMAT 720. Can I get into HEC MIM?
No one can know whether this will get you into HEC or any school or not. Many other factors go into an admission decision and your motivation is way more important than your credentials.
I am in the last year of my graduation program ( English hons.) The curriculum Of my course wraps up in three years, do you I need to get any 1 year work experience for applying to LBS ?
No, you don't have to get any experience specifically for the LBS MiM. It's targeted towards fresh graduates only. You can have experience but it's not mandatory.
Thank you so much for this video, it was really informative. I am a 3rd year commerce student. Should I go for some consultants for the essays and profile part? (I have a average GPA) If yes, can you recommend any consulting firm?
Thank you Aakarsh. I didn't go for any consultants and went through it by myself. Took help from friends every now and then. I guess you can take consultation if that is what you want but who to go for I can't say as I don't have experience with that
Hahaha yes looking very forward to 200. Thanks for all the support. And thank you so much for calling it gold... I don't know if I'll call it that, both of us have just tried to help students out in our best way :)
Yeah Filippo, he applied to LBS, ESSEC, HEC Paris and INSEAD. All the 4 schools in Round 1 Don't forget to watch the whole :D He does mention the same in the video
That was really a great video!! Can you also please make a video comparing Mba(PGDM) from top Indian B-schools to MIM in Europe. And also comparing the employment prospects.
Thank you Aryan. I'll keep that idea in mind but just to give you a small comparison, MiM from Europe and an MBA from India really cater to different audiences. If you want to work and settle in India, then an Indian MBA is the obvious choice. Moreover MBA will really help you to specialize in a particular field whereas MiM will help you switch into another industry/sector.
Salaries depend upon your role and industry. Typically Finance roles feature the maximum salary along with Management Consulting roles. Although for Management Consulting roles, being highly proficient in the local language is a must, in France, French.
Typically ranging from 40K € to 60K € depending upon your industry and whether you already have work experience. But again brother, really want to emphasize on the fact that these 2 things are really different. Don't compare stats like this because even the lower bracket 40K€ is almost 35 Lakhs which only a handful people get in IIMs. The main pt. being that living expenses, overall standard of living, everything is different. So I would really recommend not comparing the 2
Thank you very much for making such an informative video. It really explains most of the doubts which are faced by students. Is it necessary to have community service/volunteer work in profile for applying in the B Schools in Europe like INSEAD, ESSEC, TUM, LSB?
Not necessarily. Everybody has a unique story to tell. Focus on that and market yourself and your skillset and how you can use them to provide to a school and its community.
Hey Arif, hope you are doing well..!! Videos are amazing. I have a doubt right now. I have 3yrs of work experience (family business) can I apply for MIM....
Hey Arif thanks for this video i want to ask u a question What should I choose between pgdm in top iims and mim in LBS if my main concern is placement and does there very much difference between Placements in both the places
Hi. That's actually not a fair comparison to be honest. MBA from an IIM cannot be compared to a MiM degree from bschool outside India. Still, if your main concern is placements, let me tell you that there is no such thing as placements in LBS, you will have to approach recruiters, companies by yourself, send them your CV and wait for them to respond. At IIMs in India, you will have a full placement procedure where companies will come to the campus and you get the chance to sit for them. Outside, people end up applying to over 50 positions at the very least. I hope you got the idea :)
Hai,just found ur video randomly thanks for the info ,plz do the videos about employability after u pass out ,and by the way which univ is better bath or Cranfield for mim
Hello Prathyusha, it is not fair to compare different uni like this. All of them have different USPs. Some may have a strong finance focus while some may have a strong marketing focused curriculum. Its better to research about the school and talk to the alumni.
Hello, you can check the school's website for the conversion. They generally always provide a scale. If not, then the general idea is to divide your GPA with your batch topper's GPA and then multiply with the factor
No it doesn't. Your overall profile matters and not just one thing. If you're able to justify why you are a good fit and why this is the right time for you then 0 experience won't be a deal breaker
Great video, Arif, very informative! I wanted to know if the recency of your GMAT score matters in the application (planning to give GMAT now and apply 1.5-2 years later after some work ex)
Hi arif first of thanks for this video, it’s really informative. I just had a query. I’m a grad from Delhi college of engineering with 9.0 cgpa and currently working at Citibank as a software developer. I’m interested in pursuing mim from LBS and just wanted to know that apart from good scores in gmat what else can add value to my application and increase my chances of selection at LBS.
Can't really put my views in a comment. But yes, it definitely is great. INSEAD is one of the top schools for MBA so it it okay to assume its MiM will be a good program but since it just started this year, all of us need time to see how it pans out.
Ummm although this is a very traditional and widely used method of selecting schools, I would encourage you to look at the curriculum that suits your aspirations and then select school accordingly. Many times just selecting schools as dream safe and competitive, people tend to keep options which are not even relevant to them
Thank you so much for such an informative video. Could you please enlighten here whether we should go for consultants for LBS admit. Moreover, if financing a consultant is difficult for me, how can I make best of my applications at INSEAD & LBS. How to get sample essays and all.
Hi Aashish, thank you so much for your kind words. Both Siddharth and I didn't go for any consultation services as we wanted to go through the process ourselves. So I'm not sure if we'll be the right person to tell you if you should go for it or not. As for sample essays, I just researched online and got a few free ones off Google and then just talked to a few seniors and got their insights. When it comes to essays and applications, there is no one right answer. Try to identify your strengths and focus on them. Maybe join clubs, do some courses, just work on it in whichever way possible. Focus on applying with an application that is well put together and tells a compelling story
No, there is no such preference. All international schools focus a lot on diversity so they try to have equal number of people coming from engineering background, business background, arts, commerce, even medical professionals looking for management degrees etc Since Indian Engineer applicant pool is quite large it actually makes it more competitive for us
Hey, very nice video I am student of class 12th and I have to give boards this year. Can you please suggest some affordable and universities in London for Bachelors and Mba. I want to set up my business also, so i am looking forward for a good place in London. Would be great if you help❤️❤️
Hello Tanvi, there are a lot of good universities you can do your bachelors from. It depends on the field you want to do it from. My information on Bachelor schools is as good as yours can be through google. You can search websites like this one for more info - www.topuniversities.com/where-to-study/europe/united-kingdom/top-10-universities-london
Its a very informative video and loved it Iam looking to get into LBS for MIM program it will be helpful for me if get your friends linkedin or something to communicate with him.
Hello Owez. There isn't any set GRE score for LBS. I know a few people who got admitted with a score of 320 and also a few who rejected even with a 325+ Still, to be on the safer side, aim for 325 and above
Hahaha, agreed bro. It’s quite an old video and I had just started back then. Hopefully I improved over time. Why don’t you check any of my recent videos?
Hey Arif! Amazing video, really informative and well organized. Keep up the great work! 👏👏👏 Could you please make a video about ESCP? Btw, I'm a fellow MITian too, graduated in 2018!
Thank you so much Anvitha, really means a lot :) :) Would surely try to make one for ESCP. And don't forget to subscribe as I'll be uploading every week :D

@@iArifAhmad I am facing problem in verbal section of GMAT, how should i approach to solve these questions? Especially reading comprehension
For the RC, try focusing on CR first. You'll drastically improve your RC abilities if your CR score improves.
For RC, alone, try reading editorials in newspapers to increase your reading speed which can also give you more time to tackle the questions
Thank you for this

Bro i am also from Sikkim Manipal University please suggest me how can i go to Lbs
How much percentage required in graduation so that the chances will increase to get in lbs
Brother please make a video on taking admission in bachelor's in business in public universities 🙏👍👍🙏
As I got into my bachelor college almost 7 years ago now, I don’t think I’ll be able to give you the latest and best information.
Very informative video and all the points were crisp.
Thank you so much Sahiti :)
I am glad you found it informative.
Did he have series of interviews? Like rounds or was that a single round of interview before shortlisting

ShArif Ladka thanks sharif, very helpful video👍
Thanks Keerthi.
My name is Arif btw 😄😛

wonderful content, you should try getting Zuber menon on here, Stanford GSB grad or Ankita Sodani who's studying at Wharton!
Keep up the great work
Thank you so much Eshan.
I'll surely try to get in touch with him with the next series of Let's Talk :)
Thanks a lot for the suggestion
Im from arts background can i still apply to lbs ?
Hi Arif,
I have a query. Having a strong brand name is important for the application but in my case I work for a mid sized company which might not be considered at par with the big4 companies.

Hi i want to ask if it is compulsory to give tofel or ielts exam if you belong to a english medium school and college
You can email the school and inform that you studied from an english speaking institution. Some schools exempt candidates from the english test score based on their requests.
Is the work ex (2 years limit in this case) considered while applying or while joining?
It is while joining, however, you can always mail the admissions committee and get more clarity for your individual case. Sometimes they are willing to let go of that limit.
Hey, Arif, I'd like to know during which round Aditya had applied for Mim at LBS? Also, when did you apply for ESSEC? :)
Who’s Aditya?
Are BBA students with 3 year degree eligible to apply for MIM programmes or is a 4 year degree needed for MIM?
Yes Srikar, a 3 year BBA degree is eligible
What was his GMAT score? Also please mention your GMAT score.
Siddharth scored 710 and I got a 690

LBS puts a restriction on the max number of work experience you can have for an MiM program

Your overall profile matters Ajay and it will not depend on just 1 thing
Thank you very much for making such an informative video. It really explains most of the doubts which are faced by students.

Hi Arif, please could you guide me to convert indian university cgpa to uk based gpa!
Hello, you can check the school's website for the conversion. They generally always provide a scale. If not, then the general idea is to divide your GPA with your batch topper's GPA and then multiply with the factor
Thanks a lot :) This was really beneficial.
Thanks Leena :)
Hey. Thanks for the video. How much did your friend score in GMAT?
Thank you Yash for watching the video 😊
He got a 710
Hii Arif,
Amazing content brother..
I am a CFA Level-2 candidate with no workex.
Do workex plays major role to get into LBS?
No it doesn't. Your overall profile matters and not just one thing. If you're able to justify why you are a good fit and why this is the right time for you then 0 experience won't be a deal breaker
Great video, Arif, very informative! I wanted to know if the recency of your GMAT score matters in the application (planning to give GMAT now and apply 1.5-2 years later after some work ex)
Thanks Utkarsh. GMAT score is valid upto 5 years but in the real world schools accept scores that are up to 3 years old so I guess you are good
how to contact students studying in the school or alumni?
LinkedIn

Do they prefer engineering grads. ??
No, there is no such preference.
All international schools focus a lot on diversity so they try to have equal number of people coming from engineering background, business background, arts, commerce, even medical professionals looking for management degrees etc
Since Indian Engineer applicant pool is quite large it actually makes it more competitive for us
@@iArifAhmad I am from a business background.
Similarly even for business bachelor students it's competitive. The thing is us Indians are a big applicant pool and hence the competition

Hello Tanvi, there are a lot of good universities you can do your bachelors from. It depends on the field you want to do it from. My information on Bachelor schools is as good as yours can be through google. You can search websites like this one for more info - www.topuniversities.com/where-to-study/europe/united-kingdom/top-10-universities-london

Iam looking to get into LBS for MIM program it will be helpful for me if get your friends linkedin or something to communicate with him.
Hi Pramod.
His social links are there in the description of the video :)
Can you plz tell about GRE scores for lbs
Hello Owez. There isn't any set GRE score for LBS. I know a few people who got admitted with a score of 320 and also a few who rejected even with a 325+
Still, to be on the safer side, aim for 325 and above
Cool thanks a lot I texted you on Instagram could you just see once. Highly obliged brother ❤️👍🏻

Absolutely, I have seen a couple of your videos and I have drawn some useful info and some inspiration too. However, my main challenge is scoring well on the GMAT and honestly, I am mainly interested to learn more about the ways to solve questions faster.
How much are students paid for internships in general. Referring to the 1 gap year
Around 1000-1500£
Additionally there is no gap year in LBS MiM
Does LBS give more weightage to college GPA ?
Depends on your overall profile
