The professional world is ever-changing, which means you need to keep sharpening your skills in order to showcase your talents for attaining better career opportunities for yourself. Those days are behind us when career recognition wasn't considered as important as job growth. The trend is changing, employee recognition and employee growth go hand in hand.
But the question that you must ask yourself is — if you are worth recognising at allIJ Everybody dreams of doing their MBA courses from the top institutes like the IIMs, but not everybody gets there. You need to make the cut by passing exams like CAT/MAT/CMAT/XAT with exceptional scores.
Nonetheless, Indian students have figured that the quickest way to growth and success comes by doing MBA. They have figured out MBA is what all companies ask for and give whopping packing for. Due to which the stats have shown a sudden increase in students opting for MBA degrees. In the competitive world, MBA qualification gives you an edge over those who fail to understand the need of the hour. As per the latest trends, MBA is the course in demand for 2018.
Government college, IIM Ahmedabad shows that the engineering students have shown great interest in MBA courses — about 79% (195 out of 247 students) (2005-2007) are from engineering background followed by Commerce students 14% (35 students) followed by Science students 5% (12 students) and management students count for 1% (2 students) only. Non - engineer candidates have increased by 3.5% since last 3 years i.e., 32% in 2017 -2019. This is also due to the decrease in the qualifying score for CAT (Common Aptitude Test) from 80% to 70% as earlier it was difficult to crack Quantitative and Data Interpretation.
Private colleges like, MDI Gurugram have shown that engineering students have shown greater interests in Management courses, almost 87% students with engineering background opted for MBA in 2015 to 2017, followed by 7% commerce students and 4% Arts students.
