• TALK LIKE A CONSULTANT...
Have you ever wondered what is management consulting? Or, what are your chances of getting into BCG, Mckinsey, and Bain after your undergraduate degree is over? In this career insight, I will answer these questions for you based on my personal experience.
I would be structuring this article into 2 parts- (old habits die hard) :p
Who are management consultants?
Before we delve into your chances, it will also be best we understand the wold of consulting first.
Historically, advisors have held a prestigious position in society. Kings and queens often looked up to these advisors for the welfare of their kingdom and for devising war strategies. The only difference is that those were in-house advisors, and belonged to the same kingdom.
The management consulting model is just a little different. Consultants typically work for external clients, rather than being part of the client’s team. This brings in a lot of fresh perspective to the advice.
However, today a lot of companies also hire in-house strategy folks. By doing so, they do not necessarily rely on an external firm.
Coming back to the profile of a consultant. Consultants work with the CXOs and CEOs of leading organizations to solve the root cause of P&L problems. You are invested in issues such as increasing revenue, reducing cost, mergers and acquisitions and due diligence, which have large-scale impacts.
And hence you get a more hands-on experience by working closely next to CEOs and CXOs.
What are your chances of getting into management consulting?
Now that you have understood the role of a consultant, you might be wondering about your chances to land a role. To illustrate your chances clearly, I am going to create a structure.
2.1 Target Schools
MBB firms especially in India have certain target schools from which they hire. Some of these target institutions at the undergrad stage are- St. Stephen’s College, Sri Ram College of Commerce (SRCC), Lady Sri Ram College for Women (LSR) and old IITs.
The firms hire front-end consultants exclusive by having a target hiring pool.
One thing to note though is that there are fewer restrictions for back-end and research consultants in the same firms.
This will certainly raise a question on whether you are part of a target school or not. To determine that, all you have to do is go back and look at historical placements of your school for the last 6-7 years. If your alumni have been hired by these MBB firms, then you are part of target school list.

Hi Shatakshi,
thank you for sharing first hand experience about Management consulting and BCG as well. The content is really helpful in terms of understanding the job role and the opportunities it brings along.
I'd like to request you to share some pointers about the backend offices of these MBBs, about how different they are, what kind of work do they get done and what can an MBA graduate expect in terms of growing into front end roles in these firms.
Also, if possible please compare the onsite opportunities provided in Management consulting v/s Product Management roles.
Have a nice day :)
Stay healthy and happy!

I’m a cma usa pursuing student will I get to consultancy firms ?
I am a management graduate. I am working in Admin department. I want to swith to management consultant. Is it possible?
Hi ma'am
Could you please explain the difference between the work done in front-end and back-end consulting roles
In the back-end roles, you usually support the consultant/partner and are not directly dealing with clients. However, you do get the exposure and opportunity to be part of the problem-solving process. While consultants (front-end role) are in direct contact with the client and also have the opportunity to work on-site which is not the case for back-end roles. There could be other differences as well.
@@tanveerkaur2389 thanks for the insight
Hey I wanted to know if the firms also support if you want to pursue education in usa or other countries.
Can I get in McKinsey at 8.09 CGPA??
Can a CA without Rank get shortlisting from MBB & other firms, after GGI MBA Scholars (Consider- Not having a spike in CV because of poor internship experience)
Also, what is more beneficial-the 3 or 6 months program?
Thanks, Piyush writing in. With my limited experience of your exposure as you said, the chances may be less with MBB with not-so-good internships (as you said) and no rank also. I wish I'm proved wrong as I write this.
For GGI, 6 Months Scholars get all Live and Interactive Masterclasses with CXOs and get a more relaxed schedule than 3 month limited masterclass and fast-paced curriculum. Good luck
@@Shatakshi.Sharma Appreciate your honest reply. Thanks a ton. Kindly connect on LinkedIn 😁
Hey Satakshi,
I will be joining BITS PILANI next month.
I wanted to seek guidance in the 2+2 deferred MBA programme of Harvard / Yale / Stanford
