It was 7 pm. I was sitting among 80 people at IMS. It was a session on GD, PI for cet.
After a briefing instructor asked us to ask him queries if any.
The first question came “what to answer if the panel asks us ‘why do you want to do MBA?’”
No one probably would have taken this question as a surprise except me.
Probably many of them were interested in getting the standard answer from the instructor.
But is it the instructor who is supposed answer the question?
Who wants to do the MBA?
If you even don’t know why you want to do MBA, then why on earth are you appearing for the exam?
Obviously, many of them want an MBA degree to get a high salary job.
And since it does not sound well as an answer, they want a more digestible one.
But is it valid to speak the words which someone else has told you?
Won’t he pretend to be what he is not?
The instructor told us to prepare our own ans.
He asked us to write down our abilities, what we think of ourselves.
To ask ourselves, do I possess the qualities to become a manager?
Have I ever demonstrated them?
How many of the people sitting in that room would have demonstrated their leadership qualities before?
Does everybody have these qualities within him/her?
And if he/she does not have them, then should he/she quit from perusing for MBA?
Did everybody really think over this that day?
When the session got over, I saw cofounded faces, running incessantly on the path which lacked the direction.

Nice blog Sagar. I agree that the quest for an MBA degree has become more of a rat race these days. Well, I too second the fact that if you need to depend on someone else to answer the question "Why MBA", you don't deserve to be asked this question... :)
Keep writing buddy...I love reading your blogs.
