Hey please can you make a video on deferred admission or early admission offered to college seniors by various universities across the world . Thank you
Hi, I wanted to persue my MBA from the UK this year and then corona happnened. Is persuing an MBA from England / Ireland a good option in these troubled times? Or should I stick to Indian bschools?
Hi, Sameer and MBA Crystal Ball Team. I hope you guys are safe in these unprecedented times. Thank you so much for taking up the suggestion and presenting a great video. Surely a very good presentation :)
Your intro music choice( Shipping up to Boston - Departed, 2006) is spot on for a video on Ireland considering that the movie centers around Irish Americans in the Boston area.
Please answer can I do an MBA in Ireland with 3 years BBA-IB in Pune university? I have searched it a lot but I didn't find the answer please answer the question.
Hi Sameer, Happened to read a notification that Kellog has waived off GMAT scores as an application criteria in the current COVID scenario. What is your judgement on the fact that will not having a GMAT be bottleneck in the future, when it would come to recruitment? Look forward on hearing your thoughts.
As you might know, some top consulting and Ibanking companies ask for GMAT scores to filter out candidates. And schools like Kellogg act as feeder programs to those industries. But in line with the fact that the program has proactively waived off the requirement, recruiters may also start looking at other factors in case of those who don't have a GMAT score. They don't want to lose out on the talent pool. In the worst case, you could take the test as an MBA student, if they are still insisting on it.
Sir, I am opting subjects for Commerce for first doing graduation with SRCC(which compulsory require maths) but in future I am preparing for GMAT please tell me will it make any affect not choosing maths subject instead of finance
i checked some universities of dublin through your website and they had enlisted mathematics and English as their basic requirement/prerequisite...what does that mean? .... so does that mean i need to have studied mathematics in grade 12? i want to study bba in ireland i am a indian student with PCB (physics, chemistry biology) as my Main subjects in grade 12 i studied mathematics in 11 but left it in grade 12 . so even if i havenot studied mathematics in 12 can i still get admission in universities of Dublin. Or do those prerequisites certainly refer that i need to have the knowledge of mathematics and english and academic certificate is not required?
I am Anushka currently working for Bank of America. I will complete 2years of work experience in June 2021. I’m a MBA aspirant and looking for some advice. I’ve always dreamed of Yale SOM. And I want to apply for the 2021 Fall intake. I am planning an MIM right now. So Do I stand a chance with the work experience I will have in a school like Yale or should I stick to the mim ?
An MiM won't give you the same long term career impact as a respected MBA. If you have the patience, it would be better to wait for a few years and build your profile. We have a separate video on how to do that.
Hello Sir, I am a engineer officer in merchant navy. I want to know whether having a different major in engineering (marine engineering) will be favourable for admissions in MBA colleges because unlike other engineering streams I don't have any desk job experience since most of my work is practical oriented. And will it be enough to have a sailing period of 15-18 months as work experience??
We help several merchant navy applicants get into top bschools each year. But all of them have had more experience than you do. While the underrepresented field can help you stand out, there are other challenges that you'll have to tackle. Mostly on the post-MBA career goals. Our advice - take it slow and don't apply too prematurely.
Hi Sameer. I am just wondering what MBA and MIM courses should one go for post Covid -19 situation? Should one choose for their origin country universities since recession would affect employment opportunities for students as immigrants which may get affected firstly?
Going abroad for higher studies will always carry the work permit risk. There are some international student friendly countries like Canada that are popular, since they make it easy to get work permits. What'll happen in the post Corona scenario is anybody's guess for now.
So Sameer, I will be totally transparent about my case. I was supposed to graduate last year doing Bcom from Mithibai, but unfortunately, I managed to get myself KTs in some subjects and the other subjects which I passed in have pretty low grades. I will try to give my best in the subjects in which I have to reappear and probably by January or February of the next year, I will be done with my graduation but with a poor grade or GPA overall. And since last year I have set a goal for myself to take place in one of the top B schools in the world but with a low cost as well. So after a long research, I found the University of St. Gallen. It's SIM (Strategy and International Management) program is the one where my mind is set now. So I would like your valuable advice and expertise on this
Such situations are always tough to handle, specially when you're aiming for the elite programs. The biggest hurdle is eligibility, as some programs may specifically mention their minimum academic criteria. For that reason, before you start the application process, it's best to connect directly with the admissions team of your target program, share your profile details and ask them if they'd encourage you to apply. If they do, then put in your best in every component that's still under your control.
Tough to predict how it'll all unfold. Take the call based on your personal outlook and the level of risk you're comfortable with. Some are waiting and watching. Others are going ahead, since they expect to graduate 1-2 years later, when (hopefully) the situation wouldn't be as bad. The silver lining is that it could become a little easier to get into better programs, given the current situation.
Hi Sameer, Very informative videos. Thank you! I have an experience of 4 years in sales and I looking to pursue MSc Marketing from Ireland (UCD/TCD). Do you think it's a good idea to go about this plan during these times?
MSc programs are generally designed for fresh grads. With your experience an MBA would be a better fit. On the timing part, see if you're ok with this experience: www.mbacrystalball.com/blog/2021/03/30/covid-impact-student-life-experience-syllabus-statistics/
Hello Sameer Kamat, It's almost 2 years after this Video. I had pursued my diploma in Civil and have 3 years of working exp as GIS Engineer, currently I'm pursuing my B-tech in CSE (Final year) from LPU, Punjab. I am planning for an MBA from Ireland. It is worthy to spend my life at Ireland or should i have to choose any other country ??? Please enlighten me with your best advice.
We have similar videos on the other popular MBA countries. Check those out too and you'll get a better idea of what to expect from each destination. Also talk to students in each of your target countries. Then take the call.
Hi Sameer, I have been interested in exploring the Kellogg one year program. Considering that they have waived off the GMAT score requirement for round 3, I have the following questions: 1. Do you think, it makes sense to apply to a college in US at this point in time 2. Looking at my profile, what do you think are my chances of getting through a Kellogg one year without GMAT 3. My entire career has been in Marketing, currently, I work in Brand Marketing for Flipkart. I plan to continue in Brand Marketing post my MBA. Do you think if I get through a 1-year Kellogg, it will add significant value to my resume considering I have almost 8 yrs of work exp. out of which 6 yrs are core marketing? Awaiting your response.
If this is a last minute decision, it won't be a good idea. Always better to apply to programs where you've done in-depth research and validated the value as well as fit. Some thoughts on your goal: - Client facing marketing roles are tougher to come by for international students. - Branding is very culture dependent. Think about if/how your current experience translates to another geography.
Bschools don't put an upper limit, but it would be in your interest to find out the challenges of going in as an 'outlier' student in terms of age and experience. All good programs will ask for a GMAT or GRE score.
IS this relevant today as well keeping in mind we are post covid and layoffs happening? If yes then is there any way to secure the fees and other expenditure?
A lot has changed in the post COVID scenario. And unlike blogs, it's not possible to update videos. So it's best to check directly on the university sites to find out the latest developments.
Thanks for the info.... I was wondering how are the job prospects after completing MiM form UCD?.. Is it easy to get a job in the relevant field? How does it differ from the market in UK?
It's always tougher for freshers with no experience to get a job while competing with locals. MBA grads have an advantage since they already have several years of experience that recruiters can use. England has more opportunities than Ireland.
Hello Sameer, hope you are doing good. I have applied for master's in Trinity College Dublin and have got an admit. It's one year course, due to pandemic, there's been some rumours that some of these courses may go online. Which defeats the purpose of going abroad, learning the job market, getting exposure and awareness. Isn't it kinda skeptical to join, if it's online? Do let me know on this.
Your concerns are justified. If you're paying the full fee and getting an online experience for what's already a short program, and you don't get the other intangible benefits either (that you've listed), then you need to really think if you want to go ahead.
Currently, I am working with one of the reputed media companies in the field of digital marketing, have more than 2 years of experience in finance. I wish to pursue MSc in digital marketing from Ireland. Is it a good decision and which universities should I target?
Good or not will depend on how the degree fits with your long term goals. The other thing to keep in mind is that you'll probably have more experience than many in the class by the time you start the program.
Sir,I'm a NEET aspirant.Due to some circumstances I wasn't able to do well in class 12th and I am only expecting about fifty five percent and I am really interested in doing an MBA at a good b-school after MBBS as I want to enter into Pharmaceutical management. Do these marks matter a lot for an MBA applicant.If does can u sudjust any ways/tips of how I can strengten my application during my undergrad.
Our focus is on international MBA programs, where 12th marks don't matter. But most of them will ask for several years of work experience, before you apply.
Hi Im working in Infosys india, have exp of 5 years now as software developer , wish to to do MBA from IrelandB school.. do u think it’s a good decision? Didn’t took GMAT .. is there any scope after MBA ?
Difficult for others to say whether it will help you or not. That's because there are many factors to consider to decide if it would be a good or bad decision. We have a video on 'Why MBA'. Check it out to see how much your thought process is aligned with the points mentioned in it.

Hello Sir, How is the MSc in Management Program of UCD Dublin ??? I have two offer letters... 1. Msc in Internation Business (Univ of Leeds) 2. MSc in Management (UCD-Smurfit, Dublin) Actually, I want to apply for the MBA program in the ivy league, after gaining a few years of work experience.. So would you please guide me, which b-school suits for it ??
If your ultimate goal is to get an MBA, it's best to get some work experience and directly go for an MBA. Using an intermediate masters degree as a stepping stone is a very slow, expensive and suboptimal process.
Sir I have a query, please help with an answer. If I pursue Online BBA Degree rather than a Regular BBA Degree. Would that be considered viable for MBA Programs abroad? I am considering Amity Online University for pursuing BBA Degree.
Many bschools expect a traditional full-time degree and may not be open to distance degrees. There are some that may not mind, but it will reduce the options for sure.
Hi How is the MBA in Ireland different from Msc In Business Management in Ireland.. I am a software development Manager with 13 years exp.. and slightly confused to go for Msc or MBA
An MSc degree generally attracts freshers and folks with less experience (under 2 years). MBA is more appropriate for professionals with more experience.
Hi Sameer, hope all is well at your end! I’m 29 year old IT employee(SAP Functional consultant) looking to switch into Supply Chain Management with a 1 year stem MBA.

North America mostly has 2-year STEM MBA programs. We're not sure if any of them offer 1-year format too. Here's a list to get you started: www.mbacrystalball.com/blog/2018/10/22/stem-mba-programs/
Hello Sir, I am a second year BBA student. However, I am confused whether to pursue MBA after this or go ahead professional course like CFA? Since I am planning to pursue a career in finance, what would be the most suitable option?
Hi I am a graduate from an IIT. I work for a British bank in a product management role, I plan to take the GMAT when I have 4+ years of experience so that I can apply for BSchools when I have 5+ years of experience(Currently I have 2.5). With the recent Corona outbreak, I suddenly found a lot of free time in my hands. I started prepping for GMAT two weeks ago and took the first practice test and scored 730 with just two weeks of prep. I hope with few months of hard work I can get much higher. I feel like if I don't capitalize, it will be a missed opportunity. My only worry is if I take the test 2-3 years in advance, does that put me in some kind of bad light?
No, it doesn't. In fact, taking it when you are not under pressure to submit the score may probably take away the performance anxiety and allow you to perform at your best. If you get a good score, it may also allow you to put in a few applications this year to test the waters. Share the score you get with us. Good luck!
I am pursuing masters(MS) in USA.i already have job offer from Amazon.I was researching about MBA. Do you suggest to go with MBA even after doing MS?will it make an impact in my current salary or career progression after doing MBA?if yes,Is it possible to crack Harvard university?
Since you're still pursuing an MS, it would be premature to think about an MBA. Go ahead and join Amazon and work there for a few years. Once you have a clearer picture on how your career is shaping up, and where you want to take it, you'd be in a better position to decide if you should go for an MBA.
MBA Crystal Ball Thanks for the reply. but I have already decided to go for MBA.i am planning to work for Amazon for 1 year and I have already 3.5 year experience , so in short I will be having 4.5 year experience by next year fall. By next year I am planning to go for MBA. Is it possible that you guys can help me to crack Harvard?
We put in our best for each applicant who works with us, but we don't make promises or guarantees. There are many factors beyond our control. For instance, the fact that you chose to go for an MS after 3 years experience and are planning for another degree in quick succession, will raise questions about the rationale and timing. Those answers have to come from your side.
I suspect your MS is in the IT areas... actually Amazon is a business school itself. If I am you...I will persue an online MBA while working in Amazon...climb the rank...it's a far better option of going back as a full time student. It's prepare you to network into the possibility of star-up opportunity.
Hi sir usually executive MBA is of 1 year and full time is 2 yrs in India. Why is it the exact opposite in Ireland? Is it because there is a difference in curriculum.

Have grad degree Bcom from DU(distance).Can you please advise me is it right path for me learning wise as well as growth wise and also I should focus on which colleges n country?
Don't look at just the averages, since they hide more than they reveal. The average at many bschools get skewed because of the high salaries of MBA grads who get into the bulge bracket investment banks or the elite consulting firms. Ireland isn't considered to a top destination for those jobs.
@@MBACrystalBall Actually I have an offer for MIM from UCD and most of their graduates work as Business Analyst or Management Consulting Analyst and have salaries around €25000 which I think is too less considering their Tuition is around €20,000 and cost of living is also very high. Is this a pretty Bad ROI do u think?
@@pranaygawas709 Can't comment on RoI since that would depend on how much you're spending to get the degree, whether you've got any scholarship, living costs, your best-vs-worst case scenario etc. Other than the industry/role, there's also the PPP angle to consider. A McKinsey consultant working in USA, India and Ireland will have significantly different salaries. Plus there's also a difference in the salaries for MiM vs MBA grads, with MBAs getting a substantially better deal.
Hello Mr.Sameer I'm a physiotherapist with 6.4 years of experiencepost PG.Im considering MBA for my career growth.how should I proceed and which specialization can be apt for me apart from hosp management considering my medical background.
An MBA could give you a general management foundation, but a lot would also depend on the pre-MBA skills you bring with you. You don't need to select a niche specialisation. Read up on how electives work in international programs. Here are some more perspectives to think about: www.mbacrystalball.com/blog/2017/05/31/why-doctors-join-mba/
Sir, I am a postgraduate in English and have teaching experience. I would like to do MBA course, so could you please let me know whether I can get job after the course since I have no commerce background? I have done my higher secondary education in commerce. Please do reply sir. Thank you in advance!
Actually sir, I want to change my profession so I am thinking of getting an MBA course. I just don't know whether I can get a job after the course since I have no commerce background.
You'll need to be more specific about the career that you want to pursue after getting the degree. Without knowing that, it would be difficult to know if an MBA is relevant and necessary. And whether you should go down that route. Think in terms of industry/role/geography.
Assuming your query is indirectly about whether your articleship will be considered as work experience, this should give you some perspectives. www.mbacrystalball.com/blog/2014/02/02/chartered-accountant-ca-articleship-experience/
Hi Sir, My name is Sumedh. I completed my graduation in Mechanical Engineering in 2019 from Mumbai University. I gave a try for GRE for Masters in the same field and scored 298. I don't want to pursue masters, instead, I want to do my further studies in MBA finance in the United States. I want to apply for the fall 2021 intake. I plan to appear for my GMAT exam in the first week of June. I don't have any job experience yet. I know that the universities will look for a job experience in my resume. But I don't know what type of job should I apply for if I want to get into a reputed university in the field of my choice ?
This should help you understand the type of work experience that the top bschools expect: www.mbacrystalball.com/blog/2017/06/28/what-type-work-experience-required-mba-abroad/
Hello sir/madam, I am currently pursuing engineering (3rd year-CSE). I want to pursue MBA from one of the top B schools but I am a little confused regarding things I must ensure to meet their standards(given my current profile). I am currently preparing for CAT and placement session is around the corner. In the wake of the pandemic, placement season may take a hit. It would be really helpful some advice can be given on some of my following queries: 1. In the current situation, should I focus more on placements or focus on CAT given that I want to do MBA from abroad? 2. Will it worth trying for a deferred MBA after a regular MBA from India considering that I may work on profile during MBA in India?
Don't rush into an MBA when you aren't ready. Focus on getting a job, and working for a few years. We've shared tips on how to build your profile in a separate video.
It won't be a good idea to go for an MBA abroad without work experience. If there are strong reasons why you cannot wait, you can consider MiM programs. We have a separate video on that.
It doesn't figure among the top 100, so we don't know much about it. The best approach would be to connect with current students to find out more about the ground realities.
I am currently working as Senior Manager with total experience of 10 years and thinking about MBA in Ireland. Does Ireland job market entertain candidates with this much work exp ?
There isn't much data on Irish MBA grads to evaluate. It'll be best for you to connect with students from your target bschools who have similar experience. They'd be able to let you know the ground realities of going in as a mature student.
It's not ranked among the top globally. So there's not much discussion in international forums. It'll be best for you to reach out to current students to find out more and then take a call.
Hey sir, I'm Malvika Priyam. I live in Hyderabad. I'm pursuing my B. Com (Gen) from Osmania University. I'm graduate in 2021.My overall score SGPA is more than 90%.I want to do my MBA abroad(USA).Please suggest me how much marks should I get in my GMAT and TOEFL. And the best affordable University to apply in over there. I want to go for batch 2022 or early batch of 2023 after having 2 years of Job experience. Let me know about the scholarships too and how my CGPA will effect it.
Two years of experience will be low for American bschools, as the average is around 5 years at the start of the program. Our GMAT videos includes the average GMAT scores for the top bschools. The fee ranges around $100K. Check out our video on how to build your profile.
Rather than only focusing on the degree as a migration tool, also think about your long term career plans and whether it'll be practical to get that job after the degree.
Sameer sir,I have a work ex of 1yr in sales and wanted to do an mba so badly.. because I have graduated with mechanical degree & have excellent academic score,,I don't know what hold the best for me. Give some light on this sir.
@@MBACrystalBall but sir, early bird hatches the egg first right. What the most I can do to build my resume and I cannot stop thinking about doing an MBA,,that's how badly I want sir. Should I continue to work in sales domain or should I try other field like it,data science like diversification in work which I like to explore,.what is your suggestion in this sir. Thanks you for the response..been here since 2015 like I downloaded quant formulas for first time here.. awesome content sir.
Interesting analogy about birds! I think that saying was about early birds getting worms, and not about hatching eggs earlier, right? Regardless of what works for birds, in humans delivery before time isn't considered a good thing, unless we're talking about logistics companies. When it comes to higher ed, a change of perspective will be helpful. If you stop looking at an MBA as an end in itself, you'll find more meaning to what you're currently doing. If you've enjoyed working in the sales domain, there's no reason to switch tracks just for diversification. Having 5 years of experience in one domain works better than 1 year each in 5 roles. We have a video on how to build your profile. Have you seen that?

Hi Sameer Sir, I'm a HSC student in India,My goal is to get placed on one of the top most companies (ex.google, Microsoft,apple,etc). Does doing an MBA abroad (ex.US,UK,etc) improves the chance of getting placed in such companies One more question, How much years of work experience is needed to enter into the top b-schools in US? Final question:is good GMAT and TOEFL scores enough to improve the chances of getting into top b schools
Yes, a good MBA can help open up doors to such companies. 5 years experience is the average. You'll need more than GMAT and TOEFL scores. We have a separate video on MBA admission requirements. Check it out.
See if these articles help: www.mbacrystalball.com/blog/2018/12/19/deferred-mba-programs-usa-india-europe/ www.mbacrystalball.com/blog/2014/03/14/early-career-mba/
Your experience would be on the lower side for most good programs. Since you haven't shared anything else for us to get a better view, it may be prudent to wait for a year or two more before applying.
Requirements vary based on the university/bschool. But most good ones expect some work experience. It's best to check on their official websites rather than making an assumption.
International MBA programs by design are meant for experienced professionals. There are many lower ranked MBA programs that don't care about experience, but their market value also tends to be low. So, we'd urge you to be careful before joining.

If you've got an MBA, you are unlikely to apply for mechanical engineering jobs. Better to focus on management roles that justify your MBA. And yes, there are plenty of those in Ireland.
Hi Sameer and Team, hope you guys are doing well! I'm planning to pursue MBA from one of the top 25 bschools I have ~5yrs of work-ex( ~1 yr in software company, ~3 yrs in startup and ~1 in consulting). Now, searching for a job after consulting stint. Is it the right time for me to pursue MBA, given the no. of job switch I've made. Also, which is the right exam to prepare for, GRE or GMAT? I'm not IIT/NIT grad
Last year would've been an ideal time to apply if you're targetting 2-year MBA programs in USA, from a statistical fit point of view. The job switching does make it tougher to connect the dots. Here are some thoughts on that: www.mbacrystalball.com/blog/2018/09/24/explain-frequent-job-switching-mba/ If you don't have a preference for GRE or GMAT, go with GMAT.

Hi @Sameer Kamat, I would want your valuable suggestion- so I have 5.5 years of experience in IT Sector as a Software Tester and I am planning for MBA In Project Management from Dublin Business School, Ireland ( you did not mention this college in your video) . So what are your thoughts on this , is the college good and will it be worth opting for an MBA after 5 years of experience in IT. How will the job prospect be after an year I.e around 2022 end in Ireland wrt MBA in Project Management.
We aren't aware of anyone who attended that program, since most applicants working with us target higher ranking and more selective programs. So there isn't much first hand information to share. Try getting in touch with current students to find out the ground realities.
I wish to know how the COVID19 pandemic would impact the job placements at B-Schools. Is it right time to do MBA if getting a decent employment post-MBA is top priority? I have gotten an admission in Ted Rogers school of managment's MBA in management of technology and innovation program and I am in dilemma right now.
Employment would be hit that's for sure. What is tough to predict is - by how much and for how long. As a general rule, grads from the top schools with recognisable MBA brands will bounce back faster. If you aren't sure about the market value of your admit, then it would be good to seriously evaluate if you want to take up the offer.
Sir Kunal saran this side, I have watched some of your videos and they provide some really valuable insights. I am pursuing my 1st year in bvoc.banking operations from Ramanujan college (university of Delhi) and I aspire to be an investment banker. For that I have started my research but still have some doubts. And I'll be really greatfull if you can spare some time for me and take these queries on call.
Depends on what you want from the MBA experience. If you watch the video, you'll get many perspectives to help you decide whether it is good for you or not.
Check the placement stats for international students in your target programs, and also chat with a few students to learn about the challenges they face. FYI, if you choose to come back, the Irish degree is unlikely to have a strong brand recall among Indian employers.
A lot of international MBA aspirants come from middle class backgrounds. They target programs where their chances of getting a scholarship are high. That makes it possible for them to afford good programs without compromising on the quality of education. Check out our video on how to get scholarships.
Sir I have completed my B.tech on 2019 I was having 13 back papers and I managed to pass all papers by April 2020. X th - 89% XII th - 89% B.tech - 63% No work experience I am planning to do MBA in UK in 2021. Since I have no work experience and less mark in graduation will I be able to get admission in good colleges in UK if I score 300 marks in GRE.
The lower you go with the bschool ranking, the more flexible they get in overlooking flaws in the profile. But the lower you go, the less valuable the degree. So make sure you draw the line well and check with the program office whether you'd be eligible.

Really grateful for yr so valuable vdo. Thanks 🙏
Hey there should be a video on MBA in Spain too. I see so many spanish colleges ranked in top 100 but little information about MBA in Spain.
Your intro music choice( Shipping up to Boston - Departed, 2006) is spot on for a video on Ireland considering that the movie centers around Irish Americans in the Boston area.
Talk about an ear for detail! Hats off to you for making that connection, considering we had kept the music volume very low, almost inaudible.
Thank you for such helpful and knowledgeable videos..
Which are the top MBA colleges where work experience is not compulsory?

Please answer
can I do an MBA in Ireland with 3 years BBA-IB in Pune university?
I have searched it a lot but I didn't find the answer please answer the question.
Send an email to a few Irish bschools and they'd be able to confirm eligibility.
@@MBACrystalBall cool thanks 👍
Good information thank you sir and otherwise make a video in switzarland mba

Hi Sameer,
Happened to read a notification that Kellog has waived off GMAT scores as an application criteria in the current COVID scenario. What is your judgement on the fact that will not having a GMAT be bottleneck in the future, when it would come to recruitment?
Look forward on hearing your thoughts.
As you might know, some top consulting and Ibanking companies ask for GMAT scores to filter out candidates. And schools like Kellogg act as feeder programs to those industries. But in line with the fact that the program has proactively waived off the requirement, recruiters may also start looking at other factors in case of those who don't have a GMAT score. They don't want to lose out on the talent pool. In the worst case, you could take the test as an MBA student, if they are still insisting on it.
Sir, I am opting subjects for Commerce for first doing graduation with SRCC(which compulsory require maths) but in future I am preparing for GMAT please tell me will it make any affect not choosing maths subject instead of finance
As long as you're comfortable with the math concepts covered in GMAT, you should be fine.
i checked some universities of dublin through your website and they had enlisted mathematics and English as their basic requirement/prerequisite...what does that mean?
....
so does that mean i need to have studied mathematics in grade 12?
i want to study bba in ireland
i am a indian student with PCB (physics, chemistry biology) as my Main subjects in grade 12 i studied mathematics in 11 but left it in grade 12 .
so even if i havenot studied mathematics in 12 can i still get admission in universities of Dublin.
Or do those prerequisites certainly refer that i need to have the knowledge of mathematics and english and academic certificate is not required?
For matters related to eligibility, rather than relying on a 3rd party's opinion, it's best to check directly with some of your target universities.
I am Anushka currently working for Bank of America. I will complete 2years of work experience in June 2021. I’m a MBA aspirant and looking for some advice. I’ve always dreamed of Yale SOM. And I want to apply for the 2021 Fall intake. I am planning an MIM right now. So Do I stand a chance with the work experience I will have in a school like Yale or should I stick to the mim ?
An MiM won't give you the same long term career impact as a respected MBA. If you have the patience, it would be better to wait for a few years and build your profile. We have a separate video on how to do that.
Hello Sir,
I am a engineer officer in merchant navy. I want to know whether having a different major in engineering (marine engineering) will be favourable for admissions in MBA colleges because unlike other engineering streams I don't have any desk job experience since most of my work is practical oriented.
And will it be enough to have a sailing period of 15-18 months as work experience??
We help several merchant navy applicants get into top bschools each year. But all of them have had more experience than you do. While the underrepresented field can help you stand out, there are other challenges that you'll have to tackle. Mostly on the post-MBA career goals. Our advice - take it slow and don't apply too prematurely.
Than you for your reply sir.
And how much experience should I get before applying for any of these businesses programs??
Around 4 years at the time of applying.
Hi Sameer. I am just wondering what MBA and MIM courses should one go for post Covid -19 situation? Should one choose for their origin country universities since recession would affect employment opportunities for students as immigrants which may get affected firstly?
Going abroad for higher studies will always carry the work permit risk. There are some international student friendly countries like Canada that are popular, since they make it easy to get work permits. What'll happen in the post Corona scenario is anybody's guess for now.
So Sameer, I will be totally transparent about my case. I was supposed to graduate last year doing Bcom from Mithibai, but unfortunately, I managed to get myself KTs in some subjects and the other subjects which I passed in have pretty low grades. I will try to give my best in the subjects in which I have to reappear and probably by January or February of the next year, I will be done with my graduation but with a poor grade or GPA overall.
And since last year I have set a goal for myself to take place in one of the top B schools in the world but with a low cost as well. So after a long research, I found the University of St. Gallen. It's SIM (Strategy and International Management) program is the one where my mind is set now. So I would like your valuable advice and expertise on this
Such situations are always tough to handle, specially when you're aiming for the elite programs. The biggest hurdle is eligibility, as some programs may specifically mention their minimum academic criteria. For that reason, before you start the application process, it's best to connect directly with the admissions team of your target program, share your profile details and ask them if they'd encourage you to apply. If they do, then put in your best in every component that's still under your control.
Please upload the article about MBA in new Zealand as soon as possible
Sameer Kamat sir please post your views on going for mba depending on current pandemic and how it effect applications and also benefits..
Tough to predict how it'll all unfold. Take the call based on your personal outlook and the level of risk you're comfortable with. Some are waiting and watching. Others are going ahead, since they expect to graduate 1-2 years later, when (hopefully) the situation wouldn't be as bad. The silver lining is that it could become a little easier to get into better programs, given the current situation.
Good information sir. It's very clear . Try to make MBA IN POLAND and MBA IN Lithuania
Thanks, Nikhil. Not too sure about those countries, as they do not have any bschool that ranks among the top 100 globally.
Hi Sameer,
Very informative videos. Thank you!
I have an experience of 4 years in sales and I looking to pursue MSc Marketing from Ireland (UCD/TCD). Do you think it's a good idea to go about this plan during these times?
MSc programs are generally designed for fresh grads. With your experience an MBA would be a better fit. On the timing part, see if you're ok with this experience: www.mbacrystalball.com/blog/2021/03/30/covid-impact-student-life-experience-syllabus-statistics/
Hello Sameer Kamat,
It's almost 2 years after this Video. I had pursued my diploma in Civil and have 3 years of working exp as GIS Engineer, currently I'm pursuing my B-tech in CSE (Final year) from LPU, Punjab. I am planning for an MBA from Ireland. It is worthy to spend my life at Ireland or should i have to choose any other country ???
Please enlighten me with your best advice.
We have similar videos on the other popular MBA countries. Check those out too and you'll get a better idea of what to expect from each destination. Also talk to students in each of your target countries. Then take the call.
Hi Sameer,
I have been interested in exploring the Kellogg one year program. Considering that they have waived off the GMAT score requirement for round 3, I have the following questions:
1. Do you think, it makes sense to apply to a college in US at this point in time
2. Looking at my profile, what do you think are my chances of getting through a Kellogg one year without GMAT
3. My entire career has been in Marketing, currently, I work in Brand Marketing for Flipkart. I plan to continue in Brand Marketing post my MBA. Do you think if I get through a 1-year Kellogg, it will add significant value to my resume considering I have almost 8 yrs of work exp. out of which 6 yrs are core marketing?
Awaiting your response.
If this is a last minute decision, it won't be a good idea. Always better to apply to programs where you've done in-depth research and validated the value as well as fit.
Some thoughts on your goal:
- Client facing marketing roles are tougher to come by for international students.
- Branding is very culture dependent. Think about if/how your current experience translates to another geography.
Hey is there a Age limit to do an MBA in Ireland. I am 40, am i eligible for an MBA?? Also is GMAT compulsory? Will just IELTS wont do?
Bschools don't put an upper limit, but it would be in your interest to find out the challenges of going in as an 'outlier' student in terms of age and experience. All good programs will ask for a GMAT or GRE score.
IS this relevant today as well keeping in mind we are post covid and layoffs happening? If yes then is there any way to secure the fees and other expenditure?
A lot has changed in the post COVID scenario. And unlike blogs, it's not possible to update videos. So it's best to check directly on the university sites to find out the latest developments.
Thanks for the info.... I was wondering how are the job prospects after completing MiM form UCD?.. Is it easy to get a job in the relevant field? How does it differ from the market in UK?
It's always tougher for freshers with no experience to get a job while competing with locals. MBA grads have an advantage since they already have several years of experience that recruiters can use. England has more opportunities than Ireland.
Hello Sameer, hope you are doing good.
I have applied for master's in Trinity College Dublin and have got an admit. It's one year course, due to pandemic, there's been some rumours that some of these courses may go online. Which defeats the purpose of going abroad, learning the job market, getting exposure and awareness. Isn't it kinda skeptical to join, if it's online?
Do let me know on this.
Your concerns are justified. If you're paying the full fee and getting an online experience for what's already a short program, and you don't get the other intangible benefits either (that you've listed), then you need to really think if you want to go ahead.
Currently, I am working with one of the reputed media companies in the field of digital marketing, have more than 2 years of experience in finance. I wish to pursue MSc in digital marketing from Ireland.
Is it a good decision and which universities should I target?
Good or not will depend on how the degree fits with your long term goals. The other thing to keep in mind is that you'll probably have more experience than many in the class by the time you start the program.
Sir,I'm a NEET aspirant.Due to some circumstances I wasn't able to do well in class 12th and I am only expecting about fifty five percent and I am really interested in doing an MBA at a good b-school after MBBS as I want to enter into Pharmaceutical management. Do these marks matter a lot for an MBA applicant.If does can u sudjust any ways/tips of how I can strengten my application during my undergrad.
Our focus is on international MBA programs, where 12th marks don't matter. But most of them will ask for several years of work experience, before you apply.
Hi
Im working in Infosys india, have exp of 5 years now as software developer , wish to to do MBA from IrelandB school.. do u think it’s a good decision? Didn’t took GMAT .. is there any scope after MBA ?
Difficult for others to say whether it will help you or not. That's because there are many factors to consider to decide if it would be a good or bad decision. We have a video on 'Why MBA'. Check it out to see how much your thought process is aligned with the points mentioned in it.
In order to get a visa how much funds we have to show excluding tuition fees? Is it 7k euros/year of 10k euros/year?
Best to check this on the official visa guidelines page, rather than relying on external sites.
I have a bachelors in Mass Communication. 5 years working experience 2years as a communications officer and currently working as a staff accountant in a firm in Kenya. Should I try my chance in an MBA or MSc in International Business Management?
With 5 years of experience, an MBA will be a better fit for your profile compared to an MSc degree.
Hello Sir,
How is the MSc in Management Program of UCD Dublin ???
I have two offer letters...
1. Msc in Internation Business (Univ of Leeds)
2. MSc in Management (UCD-Smurfit, Dublin)
Actually, I want to apply for the MBA program in the ivy league, after gaining a few years of work experience..
So would you please guide me, which b-school suits for it ??
If your ultimate goal is to get an MBA, it's best to get some work experience and directly go for an MBA. Using an intermediate masters degree as a stepping stone is a very slow, expensive and suboptimal process.
hey, I am planning to pursue MBA. Should I choose Ireland or Germany?
We have another video on MBA in Germany. Watch that and then you'd be in a better position to compare and decide.
Sir I have a query, please help with an answer. If I pursue Online BBA Degree rather than a Regular BBA Degree. Would that be considered viable for MBA Programs abroad?
I am considering Amity Online University for pursuing BBA Degree.
Many bschools expect a traditional full-time degree and may not be open to distance degrees. There are some that may not mind, but it will reduce the options for sure.
Hi How is the MBA in Ireland different from Msc In Business Management in Ireland.. I am a software development Manager with 13 years exp.. and slightly confused to go for Msc or MBA
An MSc degree generally attracts freshers and folks with less experience (under 2 years). MBA is more appropriate for professionals with more experience.

Hello Sir, I am a second year BBA student. However, I am confused whether to pursue MBA after this or go ahead professional course like CFA? Since I am planning to pursue a career in finance, what would be the most suitable option?

Hi
I am a graduate from an IIT. I work for a British bank in a product management role, I plan to take the GMAT when I have 4+ years of experience so that I can apply for BSchools when I have 5+ years of experience(Currently I have 2.5).
With the recent Corona outbreak, I suddenly found a lot of free time in my hands. I started prepping for GMAT two weeks ago and took the first practice test and scored 730 with just two weeks of prep. I hope with few months of hard work I can get much higher. I feel like if I don't capitalize, it will be a missed opportunity.
My only worry is if I take the test 2-3 years in advance, does that put me in some kind of bad light?
No, it doesn't. In fact, taking it when you are not under pressure to submit the score may probably take away the performance anxiety and allow you to perform at your best. If you get a good score, it may also allow you to put in a few applications this year to test the waters. Share the score you get with us. Good luck!
I am pursuing masters(MS) in USA.i already have job offer from Amazon.I was researching about MBA. Do you suggest to go with MBA even after doing MS?will it make an impact in my current salary or career progression after doing MBA?if yes,Is it possible to crack Harvard university?
Since you're still pursuing an MS, it would be premature to think about an MBA. Go ahead and join Amazon and work there for a few years. Once you have a clearer picture on how your career is shaping up, and where you want to take it, you'd be in a better position to decide if you should go for an MBA.
MBA Crystal Ball Thanks for the reply. but I have already decided to go for MBA.i am planning to work for Amazon for 1 year and I have already 3.5 year experience , so in short I will be having 4.5 year experience by next year fall. By next year I am planning to go for MBA. Is it possible that you guys can help me to crack Harvard?
We put in our best for each applicant who works with us, but we don't make promises or guarantees. There are many factors beyond our control. For instance, the fact that you chose to go for an MS after 3 years experience and are planning for another degree in quick succession, will raise questions about the rationale and timing. Those answers have to come from your side.
I suspect your MS is in the IT areas... actually Amazon is a business school itself. If I am you...I will persue an online MBA while working in Amazon...climb the rank...it's a far better option of going back as a full time student. It's prepare you to network into the possibility of star-up opportunity.
Hi sir usually executive MBA is of 1 year and full time is 2 yrs in India. Why is it the exact opposite in Ireland? Is it because there is a difference in curriculum.

Hii sir what would provide more ROI mba or ms after mechanical engineering from India
In the longer term, MBA offers the best returns.
Then why are salaries so low compared to US Canada or Germany France . Rent is astronomical too
Don't look at just the averages, since they hide more than they reveal. The average at many bschools get skewed because of the high salaries of MBA grads who get into the bulge bracket investment banks or the elite consulting firms. Ireland isn't considered to a top destination for those jobs.
@@MBACrystalBall Actually I have an offer for MIM from UCD and most of their graduates work as Business Analyst or Management Consulting Analyst and have salaries around €25000 which I think is too less considering their Tuition is around €20,000 and cost of living is also very high.
Is this a pretty Bad ROI do u think?
@@pranaygawas709 Can't comment on RoI since that would depend on how much you're spending to get the degree, whether you've got any scholarship, living costs, your best-vs-worst case scenario etc. Other than the industry/role, there's also the PPP angle to consider. A McKinsey consultant working in USA, India and Ireland will have significantly different salaries. Plus there's also a difference in the salaries for MiM vs MBA grads, with MBAs getting a substantially better deal.
Hello Mr.Sameer I'm a physiotherapist with 6.4 years of experiencepost PG.Im considering MBA for my career growth.how should I proceed and which specialization can be apt for me apart from hosp management considering my medical background.
An MBA could give you a general management foundation, but a lot would also depend on the pre-MBA skills you bring with you. You don't need to select a niche specialisation. Read up on how electives work in international programs. Here are some more perspectives to think about: www.mbacrystalball.com/blog/2017/05/31/why-doctors-join-mba/
Sir, I am a postgraduate in English and have teaching experience. I would like to do MBA course, so could you please let me know whether I can get job after the course since I have no commerce background? I have done my higher secondary education in commerce. Please do reply sir.

Do you thought about an alternative career path that you want to explore after getting an MBA?
Actually sir, I want to change my profession so I am thinking of getting an MBA course. I just don't know whether I can get a job after the course since I have no commerce background.
You'll need to be more specific about the career that you want to pursue after getting the degree. Without knowing that, it would be difficult to know if an MBA is relevant and necessary. And whether you should go down that route. Think in terms of industry/role/geography.
Thank you sir!

What the most I can do to build my resume and I cannot stop thinking about doing an MBA,,that's how badly I want sir.
Should I continue to work in sales domain or should I try other field like it,data science like diversification in work which I like to explore,.what is your suggestion in this sir.
Thanks you for the response..been here since 2015 like I downloaded quant formulas for first time here.. awesome content sir.
Interesting analogy about birds!
I think that saying was about early birds getting worms, and not about hatching eggs earlier, right?
Regardless of what works for birds, in humans delivery before time isn't considered a good thing, unless we're talking about logistics companies.
When it comes to higher ed, a change of perspective will be helpful. If you stop looking at an MBA as an end in itself, you'll find more meaning to what you're currently doing.
If you've enjoyed working in the sales domain, there's no reason to switch tracks just for diversification. Having 5 years of experience in one domain works better than 1 year each in 5 roles.
We have a video on how to build your profile. Have you seen that?
Sir in Canada they are asking for 16 years of educations for doing MBA but i do have 15 years of education.....Am i eligible in any case or what I'm supposed to do sir?
Bschools like Rotman accept 15 years of education. There might be others too that accept 3-year bachelors degrees.
Sir to gain 16 years of education can I pursue the law after my B.com? Because the university which I want is expecting 16 years of education

Sir make a vedio on the foreign college who have no need of any work ex in the admissions....which is top college🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
International MBA programs by design are meant for experienced professionals. There are many lower ranked MBA programs that don't care about experience, but their market value also tends to be low. So, we'd urge you to be careful before joining.

Is Ireland good for mechanical engineers, who took mba after mechanical degree?
If you've got an MBA, you are unlikely to apply for mechanical engineering jobs. Better to focus on management roles that justify your MBA. And yes, there are plenty of those in Ireland.
@@MBACrystalBall thanks alot for the reply
can't we join MBA without any experience as a fresher
You'll find many lower ranked bschools that admit fresh grads with no work experience. Easy to get in as well. The issue is with their market value.

Hi Sameer and Team, hope you guys are doing well!
I'm planning to pursue MBA from one of the top 25 bschools
I have ~5yrs of work-ex( ~1 yr in software company, ~3 yrs in startup and ~1 in consulting). Now, searching for a job after consulting stint. Is it the right time for me to pursue MBA, given the no. of job switch I've made. Also, which is the right exam to prepare for, GRE or GMAT?
I'm not IIT/NIT grad
Last year would've been an ideal time to apply if you're targetting 2-year MBA programs in USA, from a statistical fit point of view. The job switching does make it tougher to connect the dots. Here are some thoughts on that: www.mbacrystalball.com/blog/2018/09/24/explain-frequent-job-switching-mba/
If you don't have a preference for GRE or GMAT, go with GMAT.

@@tejasthakare1339 Between MBA and MS, MBA is better. If you can't wait till then, then MS should be ok, provided you have a strong affinity for the course and the career you select.
Hi Sameer, hope you are doing good. Would like to connect with you for a collaboration.
Can you please be more specific?
Hi @Sameer Kamat, I would want your valuable suggestion- so I have 5.5 years of experience in IT Sector as a Software Tester and I am planning for MBA In Project Management from Dublin Business School, Ireland ( you did not mention this college in your video) . So what are your thoughts on this , is the college good and will it be worth opting for an MBA after 5 years of experience in IT. How will the job prospect be after an year I.e around 2022 end in Ireland wrt MBA in Project Management.
We aren't aware of anyone who attended that program, since most applicants working with us target higher ranking and more selective programs. So there isn't much first hand information to share. Try getting in touch with current students to find out the ground realities.
I wish to know how the COVID19 pandemic would impact the job placements at B-Schools. Is it right time to do MBA if getting a decent employment post-MBA is top priority? I have gotten an admission in Ted Rogers school of managment's MBA in management of technology and innovation program and I am in dilemma right now.
Employment would be hit that's for sure. What is tough to predict is - by how much and for how long. As a general rule, grads from the top schools with recognisable MBA brands will bounce back faster. If you aren't sure about the market value of your admit, then it would be good to seriously evaluate if you want to take up the offer.

Is Ireland good for MBA ?
Depends on what you want from the MBA experience. If you watch the video, you'll get many perspectives to help you decide whether it is good for you or not.
@@MBACrystalBall I just want to complete the course and work there for couple of years and come back to India to work.
Check the placement stats for international students in your target programs, and also chat with a few students to learn about the challenges they face.
FYI, if you choose to come back, the Irish degree is unlikely to have a strong brand recall among Indian employers.
Can middle class afford mba degree
A lot of international MBA aspirants come from middle class backgrounds. They target programs where their chances of getting a scholarship are high. That makes it possible for them to afford good programs without compromising on the quality of education. Check out our video on how to get scholarships.

No work experience
I am planning to do MBA in UK in 2021. Since I have no work experience and less mark in graduation will I be able to get admission in good colleges in UK if I score 300 marks in GRE.
The lower you go with the bschool ranking, the more flexible they get in overlooking flaws in the profile. But the lower you go, the less valuable the degree. So make sure you draw the line well and check with the program office whether you'd be eligible.
