mba degree.....hw much necessary...

[yk_srk]

i was crazy about doing an mba, however i nw feel that the things we study in mba course curriculum are just too generlised, and for being a sucessful manager u do not need to have an mba degre...i feel that a regualr degree is gud enuf for getting u campus placements....wat do u say guys....

[theking]

I do not agree with you my friend, because to my mind there are lots of things which we do not know and we are tought those things, while pursuing MBA. it's ok that you can get campus placement while doing regular course but in private sector, after a perticular stage, you have to have an MBA degree, if you want to get promition. There are some disignations, where only an MBA can work.

[yk_srk]

thats wat i said...its just a degree which might fecth u a better job, but it doesnt add up to ur knowledge big time...i agree some aspects are definitely taught but the same aspects are learnt over the course of life.....mba or nt ...doesnt matter....and tell me only one single job for which an mba degree is necessary/....

[chaitalithakker]

hii
Acco to me experiencing MBA 1st yr and also being in hostel...
Study doesnt matter as its same of BMS. might be BMS 3rd yr is higher in tht case..
Everything u have to do ur own for notes (for me also in Hostel)..

Enjoyable experience and freedome to stay in amazing environment...

But just for the sake of degree and good placement..
bcoz MBA yet has not thought something gr8...
its all repeating for me ..
may be Pune university must be having same thing...

but i think MBA as a degree is necessary so i m doing....


bye

[yk_srk]

ya.....i guess i have been misinterpreted......wat i meant was...that mba as a degree is necessary...no doubt.....and yes excitemenmt of hostel is too alluring, but the point i wanted to raise is that considering the hype, it doesnt add to the knowledge base.....of a person....

[DRISHYA]

Well dude, i think the difference lies in the practical knowledge. With normal Bcom students basically focus on academics by mugging up n in MBA indian students learn to do things on their own n not bymugging up. Also there is also lot of others gains like confidence, attitude polish n we are able to face the crowd better which i count as KNOWLEDGE. Bcoz not only knowledge but proper usage of knowledge is neccessary. MBA is not damn compulsory but it clears the 90% of the way for u...

[evil_breed99]

the degree to which a person acquires knowledge is based on his/her own self. he shud have th thirst for fetching more knowledge.
About th Mba degree, i think its all a hype .. th industry jus gives you a red carpet treatment if u have a MBA tag.
th selection process in companies shud be properly done without bias. Degrees do count but special preference shouldnt b given only to Mbas.

hi

u r right
even i think so

[hemant.k008]

Well in my openion, i thin doing MBA from the top 10 instituute will definately fetch u a good dynami job. But if u r doing ur MBA form any other Instituse then u should backup ur MBA digree with some other diploma and cirtificate courses. Linke in Finance 1 can go for NCFM Modules of in HR 1 can go for a cirtifiacte course from TISS..Same is the case is with the Marketing..
one need to have some practical experience and sound knowledge abt working effectively in this field.....
Additional Cirtificates wont harm but u will stand out from others...

well folks,u need a MBA Degree to move-up the corporate ladder.The MBA curriculum exposee one to the dispora is issues to be faced or tackled in a high profile positions like CXO's.So the knowledge of MBA will help you at that time.You can gain some handful lessons thru Experience but it can't replace the knowledge of MBA.


-Deepak.

[max77]

yeah but if you want to change your line of work mba is fairly good

[neha_1987]

mba is just become like a rat race..every one wants to do it

-Deepak.

agreed......sir....but again....the point u r rasing has already been accepted....the point i want to say is how much is the necessity of an mba degree.....
agreed that u need mba degree to move up in corporate ladder
agreed that it does give u insight into various issues
but the point i want to raise is, does it gives u inspiration and hunch.....

a person hu just reads out notes and just go thru books for 15days before exams can get thru...that is the mba degree is worth 60 days effort of book reading....the one who reads for that much days, will also stand equivaelnt to the one who has been accumulating every bits and tits of information...
may be the differnce is exposed in the interview...but still....at the face of it....they both are same....and it may happen that the one hu havent studies at all....ends up with higher position 10 years down the line.....just dues to his sheer experinces....

and i guess....the horizon of this topic is still nt well undertood.....let me make it more clear by this thing....

is mba necessary for ur own business....and hw does ur own buiness difers from other person,s business for which u might be working after completeing ur mba degree....

[tejas15aug]

it is necessary for saving time for the activities you dreamed about but somehow not managing to fit it in ur daily schedule and offcourse money which gives you value and financial security to venture and take chances which you believe has probability of success 50-50

[tejas15aug]

A successful entrepreneur from an MBA school just sounds idealistic. The educational degree that is meant to teach u all the skills to become a successful businessmen takes u as far away as possible from it. People in Indian b-schools are so obsessed with placements that the idea of starting a venture almost seems blasphemous to them.
An MBA just helps you get that famed job in which u will be made to attend hours of meeting where you cannot even recall the agenda of it, banter with people who you wont even be miles near if of free will and talk about anything in length without even having the least cognition of what it is.

[hakomen]

Actually you are right to claim that the curriculum is mostly generalized topics. However, it is also a fact that as a general manager of a company you shall not be supposed to have very dense knowledge about finance as your finance manager, or shall you know any detail regarding the economy, marketing, etc.. I think mba gives time, place and obligations to pursue opportunities. To create network.. To earn technical and financial backgrounds..

nw u described ur purpose for doing mba very well....though i m still to figure out wat wud ur research paper be.....nw...again i hv been emphasizing that all the facts which are presented in support of mba degree are really good...and i do agree with them...but the point i wanted to make is...that given all the hype surrounding a mba degree hw much is the necessity...or what does a fresher mba from any college or university brings upon in the organization...or how many are sure of what to achieving by doing MBA??????

now i think the range of this topic has been defined....let the battle begins....

[priyanka panchal]

Well whatever we do whether engineering or MBA, the courses are more or less generalised. There is little practical emphasis given and hence, the degree is really namesake. Practicality comes from experience and that is why B-schools insist on a work-ex. However, the value of degree has its own important.

[mirthymurthi]

MBA is has become a necessity nowadays... but for different reasons... nowadays, the cost of training a new employee is just too high in India. Plus, there is a good chance that the employee may leave the organization right after the training.. Hence, the companies prefer if the students have some prior theoretical knowledge as to how the corporate sector really works.... I am doing my MBA now, and i know that there is more to this course than just a placement. There is a lot to learn about the corporate world. And Hence, MBA has become a necessity of sorts. I agree that there have been many non-MBA managers in the past, but for every one non-MBA, there are ten other people who have become efficient managers after MBA. Hence, a good NON-MBA manager is more of a exception than a norm.

[vinu191]

i was thinkin of boin an mba. bt nw i think it will only make u jack of all trades master of none.so go fr specialised masters in 1 subject.

[chaitalithakker]

hello so the battle has began.. hmm

1st of all being an MBa student i think the hype is necessary and of course u be a james bond title here

the job offer in above discussion says going to placement agency.. than i wuld ask directly go to placement agency after ur HSC or culd do a simple traditional course than BMS.
i dont knw u r aware or not but there are many good placement agency who only conduct placements only for post graduate student and no one else
so placement matters

and talking abt specialising in subject so better to be a masters of all in a competetive world as one master is not enough
live example is i have on of my frnd who have got 2 specialisation in mba only frm pune university
so degree matters a lot.

mba hype is necessary to increase ots value
and today so many colleges r offering diff mba with also diff specialisation

this is wht i think and no grudges on any1

mba is necessary for me for my research work and
being a female i have limited my range bcoz this is wht i call planning tht i m planning and i want to focus on this things so i dont misss my goal focus
range u r talking ... may be u thnk but i think when u have decied to work on ur interest.. range comes with it...

so not limiting to range lats have a battle

hehehehe

doing mba is necessary as now a days there is a huge demand of mngmt graduates in corporate houses

[sandhugagandeep]

well MBA does pays off... here you learn the pratical part of corporate world... the case studies do give you a brief idea how things world in the corporate world. MBA is not must but requirement to get in the corporate world.... its a pratical side of the industry.

[adiatparadise]

ya i agree wit u guys...bt the thing is..u hv to be clear of objectiv of wht u r doin n why...n MBA degree gives u atleast tht...if nt practicality

[bonddonraj]

practical knowledge with an MBA degree is good always , its only india where it is the concept of running for mba degree right after graduation,,, whereas it is not same in other developed countries there we first have job experience then go for any add on MBA skills ............

[kukuthejak]

hey bro,
I definately agree with u ...MBA is a ver good platform...amd as far as placements are concerned,,,its rocking !!!



cheers

this is really gud......yes i agree with u.,..that there might be 1000 reasons for doing an mba....but u shud know even before starting...that wat u wanna achieve by doing mba......wat say guys....

[kunal_28parikh]

i agree with chaitalis viewpoint

[anilkesav]

As far as i'm concerned, MBA is just teaching wht v already know.. But for the purpose of getting placed in a reputed company, an MBA degree is needed.

[lalith_bafna]

mba grows our knwoledge in money making..it shows the path.

[born2rule]

MBA degree just adds additional qualification to ur resume...i do agree in such competitive world u need a master degree,,,but more impt is the work experience,practical exposure,,hardwork,and rest depends on ur destiny..

[viv1001]

I just polled MBA degree to be a necessity, so def I will have to defend my position... and seriously its a difficult task.. In MBA u learn a lot... bt forget 99.9% the next day. Wht is left inside is something called "GLOBAL" (I am saying dis particularly of marketing zens).. bt still it change ur perspective a lot.. and a lot of "gyan" is added too...

thats hw u summarise.....gud ya.....

nw since the discussion is getting saturated.....and more or less the same viewpoints are being thrown by different persons......
ok...nw lemme tk this as an opportunity and amend the course of discussion.....
lets agree that majority here thinks that mba is necessary for one reason or two....nd hence the necessity of mba....
but wat abt the institutes which do nt provide the quality education....or facilities....due to all this.....many students...hu are attracted towards mba just because of the hype......find themselves cheated....and betrayed....
so considering this fact isnt it hight time....the system shud churn out quality professionsls....rather than just adding up numbers

[chaitalithakker]

hii
i agree bcoz no opposition and as usual every coin has two sides so it reflects differently very time.
and the saturation level ya... u culd just twist the topic...

now my view regarding the quality...
the hype has already made people to get into mba any how by mgmt quota or by doing it frm any university
surely increasing the view towards education but
to achiev the quality surely u need good grades
and for that people are working hard
so frm todays condition it is sure tht MBA could be done by any one but matters is its value
bcoz just earning money is now institute focus rather than providing quality..
i think this in a short time will change as students who r now are getting aware of it and thay will change the scenario in few yrs..
so the hype is beneficial to encourage more MBA's

[yk_srk]

he he.....chaitali tu hamesha.....discussion rok ne mein he kyun lagi rehti hai.....

thats true.....that students are getting aware.....but there is a void.....between the number of students opting for mba....and the number of instititutes that can provide quality education.....and agreed that situation might change in few yrs...but the thing is that "few" in india is nothing short of 10 15 years.....so till then.....ur and mine children may still be studying in a private institiute, just for the sake of doing mba

[Abby]

it depends upon a person

through MBA deg u can gt a descent start salary,a good profile to work ....
but after tat its depends on hw u work....

if a peron hs good req skills and ability to work he wil strive his way out frm any whr

[prasadaney]

simply speaking not necessary
as u know Now big cos. r having tie ups with Instiutes for Courses
student can get jobs very easily from that

[vipin93]

NOt at all necessary... just what matters at last is the experience not the degree.. after graduation get urself a job experince of 2-3 years rather than a mba degree..

[chaitalithakker]

hii
@<hidden> vipin..
experience of 2 to 3 yrs... will surely count but not give a comparitive start with the person who has done MBA
it differs a lot.. in case of salary, growth and knowledge
may be job provides u all best things but yet degree is degree..

so i think MBA is necessary

[pooja nayyar]

mba degree is very much necessary.....one mite get a gud job widout MBA.....bt its nt sooo easy....n nowadays MBA is definitely in demand....non-MBA individual mite nt get a very attractive job profile n pay package......MBA helps in goin ahead in ur jobs also like promotions,appraisals...etc....MBA is a must nowadays...it also gives u lots of exposure n practical knowledge which is very much necessary in today's corporate world...

[beone]

it is important because it gives you a perspective other than your regular job. Everyone should take social degrees like MBA, psychology etc.....

[icecubez]

some famous personality once said "No one does mba for a degree, one does it for a better paid job "

[abhishektupe]

yup.. true... mba is required nowadays to climb up the managment ladder.... or just sit down at the bottom of the tree and watch others passby...

[dhamodi]

MBA degree is just for namesake. Finally it is experience which counts.

[gaggarkartik]

hey...i dont think mba is needed....
but you also need that degree...

[bips]

The focus of mba is not really academic knowledge but more of soft skill development... you can pick up better structured courses for knowledge but the soft skills- networking, communication, handling pressure, realising that you cannot humanly excel at each task, delegation ... thats the real value addition
plus there is more of a closed mindset in corporations today where an mba is almost like a pre-requisite

hello friends
allow me to share my view on this topic..among a few years of workex i would like to pull up the latest one wherein i was working as a Business Developmemnt Executive in the Intl.Mktg. Cell of a IT solutions company..I was the only engg.grad in our deptt n rest were MBAs..though you are competent at work its really hard to fight the preconceived notion of "MBAs knows deeper n better" and it counts a lot..i admit i had to devote much time on knnowing things which are already been taught to rest during their MBAs..
And finally i dived in a 2yr full time MBA course to upgrade my knowledge and with a hope to present my competency with a MBA degree shining bright on my CV.. :)

[Fun@MBA]

If you see the current trend... Many people rush up to take MBA exams just because they have no better jobs and want to show to the world that they too are busy, not satisfied with the current job or drifted by the hush money MBA graduates are offered.
There are very little percentage of people who really want to persue the degree for their passion and deliver for the development of country in a affarmative direction.

[shabadchugh]

Well i think everything depends upon your own personality and standings,,other than that it obviously provides you with an edge.

[squareleg]

Although it is generalised, it does take some extra than our Graduation Degree n curriculum, as one has to go around and dwell in 10-11 subjects each semester.
Which anyway wont create specialists

So, one really cannot master it all, actually if we remove the glam n huge pay packets from our thoughts then we can see to it as worth something.

Coz the Placements n Pay will always be commanded by one who is in command of his choosen subjects, its not for everyone just bcoz he is a MBA.

So, in a way the MBA program gives us a look of various subjects n from where we can decide our career path, where we find familiar grounds and like to work n not just for placements, even though thats the ultimate goal. It is more abt broadening horizons. Looking at things from various angles.

In Finance u have 100's of classified subjects where u can work on, same must b with other Splzn'.

Banking, Insurance, Capital Market, Forex, Investment Banking, Project finance, Treasury Management, as u go deep each has its own specialized outlook.

So its quite essential, being a MBA, atleast then u know u R still th same even without doin MBA Otherwise like all others PPL u wud also attach high premium for a MBA.

[yshah84]

hi....mba degree matters only on papers...every thing depends on a persons caliber to grow within the oraganisation...there r crore of ppl. without mba degree and still end up life with all pleasure...

[chandoo.upadhyay]

there is only degree is not matter the lot of think remaining

[kmrjt]

Whether to have a MBA degree in your bag depends on the type of profession you choose. There are certain things which are taught to you in MBA. For example, if you wanna become a HR manager, you cannot do it without studying HR management. A person who wants to get a managerial position in an IT firm, finds it difficult without a MBA in Systems. Of course, I do agree that to become a good manager you need to have the skills spontaneously, there are obviously certain qualities that noone can inculcate in you, right? The most important part of all MBAs is the case study, without which we find it very difficult to gain experience about the current situation in our field of interest. So, you see, MBA is necessay, at least in certain cases it is a must, but not for all. Many people go for a MBA only because it would help them in getting a better salary. But what I feel is important is, we should enjoy the course all through, learn the managerial skills and imbibe certain qualities within ourselves that will help us in becoming better managers one day.

[sambit4u]

i think its quite necessary now a days....

[purna.sibm]

In my opinion an MBA more than the theory teaches one an attitude/philosophy of winning under pressure

[shyam84oct]

may be we know everything taught in mba beforehand or is it too generilistic or common sense. but d importance of mba is that we integrate all d generalistic knowledge and develop d business acumen. :tea:

[minku+911]

the degree to which a person acquires knowledge is based on his/her own self. he shud have th thirst for fetching more knowledge.
About th Mba degree, i think its all a hype .. th industry jus gives you a red carpet treatment if u have a MBA tag.

whether u need mba degree or not depends upon the skills you posses.....if you have passion for developing people with leadership qualities to inspire them, then you need not have mba degree to be a manager(but thorough understanding of functions of management is nessary)

[gosaba]

MBA is a Management Degree, it gives you knowledge to better manage the situations in common life.

I have experienced of having some innovative solutions in common day problems because of my MBA degree

[kiruking007]

My dear friend! There will be difference learning and then acting (MBA), and learning while acting. Second one is a good way for those who born with management skills...like Dheerubhai Ambani. And the first one makes you learn in a good MBA course, be professional and then act. For an ordinary person, there is obviously more scope of winning in the first way.

[yummy1984]

Thats true..i was also very keen before joining for 'THE MBA' but the curriculum is far too generalized..it does groom our personalities but it totally depends on the individual & the college /faculty ..but the course as such will not guarentee the managerial aspects of business..

It comes only through experience, which can be achieved without MBa...
Now a days it has become a fashion to have a MBA degree... but at the end of the day.. it hardly matters .. when u jump in the practically..it matters how much income due u bring for the company....

[damani_anushree]

wel.. i feel mba is necessary to fetch a high profile job.
it is just value added in our graduation degree...
rest is al dependent on how v work.

[ashvin_1]

MBA degree is now consider with your basic qualification ie. B.bom,Bsc.,BE ...Employier check your basic qualifaction and then check your management capabilities.After 5 years you must have MBA degree, if you want to get good job....

The main reason to attend school is to increase your salary potential and advance your career. Because graduates who hold an MBA degree are eligible for jobs that would not be offered to those who hold only a high school diploma, an MBA degree is almost a necessity in today’s business world.

In most cases, an MBA degree is required for executive and senior management positions. There are some companies who will not even consider applicants unless they have an MBA degree. People who hold an MBA degree will find that there are many different types of employment opportunities that are available to them.

Education is a wonderful thing. Degrees of all levels can open doors that would otherwise be closed. However, I think getting an MBA for the sake of having an MBA (which is what most of my friends did) is useless.

One friend just wanted to stay in school and an MBA was the next step. With her Masters degree she has held jobs as a lower-management employee, as a website designer and now she generates reports (repetitive work).

The other, however, is a teacher and specifically got her MBA so she could further her career. She uses her degree and it got her a massive raise once she completed her studies.

I think experience is much more valuable than a degree, personally.
