@@ragulraj2072 Yes to the part about good career options. But I'd think it'll probably not get the 'same' respect that a top tier MBA grad gets because it's not just the degree that matters but the whole package of what recruiters are getting (MBA grads bring with them a lot of relevant skills that recruiters value). Would you agree with that view?
Hi Sameer , thanks for the video, it was very helpful. I am CMA by profession but I don't have any work experience and I am an undergraduate. I want to know some of your opinions, 1. If there is no financial issue, a masters in abroad or India?? 2. Masters in finance or mim?? Please help me out with these questions!!
I'm doing my bachlor's in commerce from an open university and i want to do further studies in management from france. As i don't have time to have a work exp. of 2 years i would like to pursue MIM. I want to know does my degree from an open university work as a barricade? Please answer my this question its bugging me for a while now. Regards
Many programs will expect a full-time degree as a pre-requisite. However, there may be some that'll be open to any form of degree, irrespective of whether it's a traditional classroom based degree or online / distance education. The best way to validate it would be by reaching out to a few official MiM admission teams and asking them directly. That way you'd be saved the risk of submitting to colleges where you aren't eligible.
The only problem I have about a MiM is that it has a generalist approach rather than a specialized one. So it boils down to that . A generalist approach makes sense when you're during an MBA after your masters, you're more experienced and can use a business degree better. I already have an undergraduate in business administration and though I loved it and learnt alot, I'm still wondering if i should choose a specific topic in business such as analytics and specialise in it. I think then it boils down to who u know, cause MiM from the best colleges open up a lot of doors for a person in terms of careers. But I can't help but feel like specialising in a certain field and then going for a formal business education would be a better decision. This is mainly cause unlike an undergraduate in STEM, I have an undergraduate in business administration - which covers a wide number of topics. I feel like specialisation is better than hopping onto another business degree. What do you guys think??
If you already have an undergrad degree in business, going for an MiM won't help much. And you've pretty much covered the reasons. A couple of options you can consider: - Skip the masters for now, work for a few years and then consider an MBA. - Go for a specialised masters and get into the role/company you want. Don't include an MBA in the equation for now. Think about it after you've got a few years of post MS experience.
Sir please do a video on Comparing the MIM vs MIB vs Masters in Finance courses, and their value in country to country and salaries and job opportunity and eligibility and the recruiters and more..
An amazing and informative video!! Can you please, let us know post career options after pursuing an MIM since most of the colleges in Europe offer MIM programmes? Thanks.
Sir, does MiM make sense after completing chartered accountancy in India? At the age of 26? Waiting for an MBA delays my education abroad which is a concern
Sir, I'm pursuing Economics Hons from DU. Should I apply for MIM? Does MIM accept GRE scores? Because my other option is Masters in Economics which only take GRE
Most masters management programs are becoming more open to accepting both scores (GMAT and GRE). Best to check on their official websites before proceeding. Whether you should pursue an MiM or not, is a personal call you'll need to take based on where you see your career going.
Please make a video comparing a *CEMS MIM +Specialized masters dual degree* and the regular *MBA* Which is better To get a job in MBB, preferably in North America
A great video ✨ I had a question and it would be great if you answer it. If a student of engineering background did MiM immediately after his/her bachelors and then worked in the management/technology sector for say 5-10 years, will it be a good option to do an MBA after an experience for further growth ? Or is it so that an MBA isn’t of much help if you have already done MiM ?
As Many MBA programs in the world require 4-5 years of Work Experience,Is it right to do MiM from Europe and Work for 4 years and then doing an MBA as it gives Global exposure IF SOMEONE CAN AFFORD THE COST OF TWO FOREIGN DEGREES
Sir, I got 8.06 GPA in my mechanical engineering degree in bachelors. I have 6 month internship experience. I completed my bachelor's in 2020. I want to do MIM from USA. (as MBA is too expensive). But sir, since it is non STEM, will I get a job in USA? A lot of Americans do management degrees, so will I get a job in USA? I am an Indian. I have interest in MBA. I have no interest in STEM fields now. If I wont get OPT extension in MIM, that would be risky. And employers wont give me job too.
Your concerns are justified. It is a risky proposition to go abroad with very little work experience to bank upon. If you aren't sure, better to wait and build your profile first rather than rushing into something with no guarantees.
Hlo sir I'm getting Confused in what is the difference between MiM and msc in management program. Sir you told me they are same but I found some University offering both msc in management and MIM how can it be possible if both are same. Sir I'll be very thankful to you if you help me out
Seems like you took our responses in a literal manner. We mentioned they are 'similar' in many respects, not 'same'. Their focus is different. After looking at the official sites, if you are still confused, better not to go ahead with the application. Wait for a few years and then apply for an MBA where there's no confusion.
I can't find a MIM degree which is a 'STEM course' in U.S.A.Can you suggest any course which is similar to MIM and STEM.I just graduated and I'm planning for spring intake.
Hello, in MiM applications, is only the cumulative / overall GPA considered or specific semester wise grades are looked into as well? If a potential applicant meets the overall GPA requirement, but has a declining trend in semester grades, can that be a cause of concern? Would be highly grateful if you could clarify on this, thanks!
The MiM admissions process will expect transcripts of all semesters, in addition to the overall grade. If there's any anomaly across the years, that could raise some questions. If you can answer those, then you have nothing to worry about.
@@MBACrystalBall Thank you for the reply. Can it be a reasonable explanation that the candidate was more focused towards another professional qualification like CA whilst the declining trend was there? Also, can an upward trend in the final semester help mitigate some of the concerns from the previous semesters? Please clarify on this too, if possible. Thank you!
@@MBACrystalBall I was asking on behalf of my son. He's in his final year of under graduation, and doing CA currently. Will be starting his ca articleship this year.
Many CAs who work with us, apply to regular international MBA programs after getting some work experience. That can help mitigate low undergrad grades to some extent.
i thinking of joining in a mim university is it better to give gmat or gre as the university stated gre/gmat is not required but i want to increase my chance for selection
If a program specifically says they don't require a test score, then sharing one may not make much of a difference. But you also should be careful about programs that make it too easy to join.
I am finisching a bachelor in chemistry in germany. I am think of pursuing a MiM a TUM. What i want to know who important are social skills in the job ? I would say I am average.
An international program would push your social skills to the limit, since there's a lot of collaborative learning and networking. So it's important to develop them.
Many top colleges seem to take only those students who are from business, economic or mathematics background, what to do if I am a mass communication students.
You're right that the numbers of applicants are higher from those fields. But it's also more difficult for them to differentiate themselves. Applicants from under-represented fields also get in, but they have to highlight all the traits that make them unique and competitive. Takes a little more effort to get there. So don't give up hope.
Hello sir. I was looking forward to do MIM n Germany. Which specialization would be better?. Finance and accounting / transport and logistics / or data managemnet?.
We've shared perspectives on choosing the right specialisation here: www.mbacrystalball.com/blog/2016/12/19/how-to-select-masters-degree-ms-specialization/
Sir, If i am interested in marketing/sales/ business development , should i approach toward mim and specialise in the same but at the same time get holistic approach or take masters in the feild i want to pursue?
For marketing roles, it's better to have some experience and then go for an MBA (instead of MiM). The pre-MBA experience will help you while job hunting.
Depends on where you want to work after the degree - Ireland or UK. Cranfield will get you closer to London, with many more higher paying opportunities.
Sir , I would like to do MBA in mass communication or media management can you suggest me good universities or colleges in usa , and did this specialization has future?
MiM is predominantly a European degree, so you'll find most programs there. USA has similar options, but they're packaged as specialised MS programs with different names. We don't have a readymade list to share though.
hey, at 5:42 fees of escp is also around $45k. Also, essec and escp offer optional gap year too. I'm thinking for mim in france and hoping if you could give some info on job prospects after I return to India with 3-4 years of international experience. (from top 3 schools)
The RoI will be the best if you can get a local job in Europe and work for a few years. Beyond that your experience will matter more than your degree. However, if you're forced to get back to India immediately after graduation, most Indian employers might prefer MBA grads from reputed Indian colleges (such as IIMs) over MiM, since the latter isn't a global, mainstream degree yet.
Hey Sameer! Quite an informative video! Would appreciate your advice in this one: I have scored 95% in both 10th & 12th, done my B.Tech with 8.1 CGPA. Have a work experience of 2+ years in sales and marketing field. Currently planning to go to Canada for Masters in Supply Chain. Do you recommend MBA or MiM for the above profile?
Canada does not have as many MBA jobs as the United States offers. So it will still be challenging to get a good break. What does make it easier is the fact that getting a work permit will not take up all the effort.
@@MBACrystalBall In that case, wouldn't it be a better option to do a 2 year MS in SCM or PGDM in SCM? Speaking strictly for a job placement point of view?
While not unusual, we've seen experienced candidates choosing an MS degree over MBA. It completely depends on which degree suits your career and personal aspirations.
Hi sir I have one question, for which I couldn't get appropriate answer from 3 top abroad education consultants. I have completed my b.tech in 2017(completed 4years without degree), but because of backlogs I couldn't complete it. But doing MBA abroad is my dream. Hence I applied for distance BA degree from recognised university in 2018, which I will surely Complete it by 2020 December. Also I started working in sales department immediately after I came out of engineering college. Now, considering my gap in education and degree being correspondence, will I get admission in good MBA/MIM college abroad.? If yes what impact will my gap years and distance degree have on my career in future.? Awaiting your response. Thanks in advance.
Those consultants couldn't answer it because nobody apart from the admissions committee can take a call on this. So, instead of trying to get answers from education consultants, reach out directly to some MBA / MiM programs and find out if they'd encourage you to apply.
@@MBACrystalBall Hi sir thanks for your response. I have contacted universities directly with this query. Where in HEC PARIS has positively responded and asked me to apply and am awaiting reply from other universities
@@Gopi-rb6yo Good going! At least you know now that your application to HEC Paris will be taken seriously. Hope you hear some positive news from the others too.
Hello sir i am a 2nd year bachelor student In India and i want to join London Business School MIM course I want to ask that will my class 10 score consider for admission and does low school grades also affects in placement there pls reply
10th and 12th scores don't matter for international masters level admissions or placements. Your graduate grades will be important. Check the admission requirements on the LBS website to get more clarity on what they expect.
I had experience of 7 years but I don’t have budget for mba . What should I do ? MIM or MBA Executive. Even I don’t have good past educational records. But I had a good experience with good MNC companies.
It's too late for MiM. MBA will fit better. Most students fund their international masters / MBA degree using a combination of savings, loans and scholarships. We have a separate video on how to get scholarships.
A regular (GMAT) MBA is ruled out, since you haven't started working. You could consider options such as MiM. But it's not as widely recognised as an MBA. The alternative is to work for a few years and then consider a masters. Is that an option worth considering?
@@MBACrystalBall at present situation I can't work as I am studying for government exams, i thought if i couldn't clear this government exams i will do masters abroad. My age is 23 at present.
As you continue with your exam prep, consider the opportunity costs of your decision too. At some point, you'll have to draw a line on how long you want to continue preparing for exams. For that you'll have to be very honest with yourself and evaluate your odds of getting what you're preparing for.
Sir, your take on the Oxford Brookes University's MSc in Management program? Objective is not to study and come back with a loan on my head. Objective is to immigrate into the UK or any of the other usual suspect countries that Indians want to get into. Either this or coming back to India with enough education pedigree and/or experience to get hired in a relevant role. This University doesn't feature in the FT rankings but is ranked, although not on top, in QS. Please let me know the overall risk involved and any other things to consider that I'm missing out on. Let's say that my profile is competitive enough only for this league of universities and that I cannot score enough in the MBA exams here in India for premier Indian B-Schools.
We're not familiar with it, since (as you rightly mentioned) it doesn't rank high. With international programs, there's always a risk of heading back home with a big loan. Try connecting with current students to learn the good/bad/ugly sides, and then figure out if it's right for you.
Hi Amit, we don't have any partnerships with any universities (for any degree). And unlike the operating model of other companies in this space, we don't get any commission from universities for placing students. As this was meant to be an introductory video, we've only picked a handful of names from a big list. There are good programs outside what we've shared.
Sir I was planning to go for the MIM program next year but now due to the COVID19 pandemic the kind of situation that is created in Europe, is it going to harm the number of students Europian universities take in next year, also are further job prospects at risk? Please help me make the right decision either I should go for it next year i.e 2021 or 2022.
Your concerns are justified. It's expected to get tougher for students who're graduating in the midst of a global recession. In such a situation, those who have proven skills and experience to highlight will have an edge over others who just have degrees. Our recommendation is always to go for a management degree after getting a few years of work experience.
I am an Indian graduate. Now, I am thinking about doing MIM in Ireland or UK at marketing or strategy. Not I know that it would cost about 25L for a 1 year degree. I can afford that 25L but it would be ridiculous if I pay that amount of money and then not get a job there, right? What good it would be spending all that money just to come here in India and work for 25k month? Although I would really love to go abroad and work there! What should I do? I have part-time work experience.
You're right, Abhinaba. It sure is a lot of money. And there are no guarantees that you'll get a job abroad either, when you have nothing else to offer beyond a degree. It's best to gain some experience first and build some solid and practical skills that employers value. Then think about whether you need another degree.
Hi I have observed that students who graduated with a business degree are not eligible to pursue this course. Or at least this is what I found in every eligibility criteria of Universities in Canada. Is there an alternate course I can pursue similar to MIM. {Except MBA since I don't have any work experience right now} Thanks
There are plenty of non-STEM masters. You'll have to do the research based on your interests and career goals. We've listed several here: www.mbacrystalball.com/masters-degree
MBA Crystal Ball thanks for your response. I am currently working in Auckland and am thinking to enroll an part mba at the University of Auckland. The Auckland University is no 1 in NZ. If possible, can we have a short discussion?
We don't know much about the program, to provide any additional inputs on whether it is worth it or not. Check with current students to find out more about its quality and market value.
Thank you for your video! I was hoping you could give me some advice. I completed a Bachelor's in Communication Studies, and since I'm not interested in an MBA i was looking into doing an MiM from Singapore Management University. Would you happen to know what the quality of education + job prospects are like there?
MiM has largely seen better acceptance in Europe, so others don't get as much buzz around them. If you aren't sure about it, best to wait for a few years and then go for a regular MBA.
Congrats on the admits. Both are more or less in a similar positioning as far as prestige and recognition are concerned. So there's no strong reason to choose one of the other (as you would find in an LBS-vs-Strathclyde kind of situation). Talk to current students to get a better feel for what to expect, and then take the call.
Better to check rather than assume. You can send an email to your target programs admissions team, if it isn't specifically mentioned on their website.
Hello Sameer, I would like to take your advice on how I should proceed with my post graduate plans. Let me tell you a bit about my academic background 10th- 88% 12th- 68%(science) Graduation- 7.35 CGPA in BBA I graduated just this year and started working as a management trainee from July onwards but due to some health issues i had to leave the job for a few months. I have 4 months work experience if it counts as anything, but i would be well enough to continue working from January onwards. I was considering MIM that starts in September 2020 or January 2021 at most. My reasoning for choosing an mim is that i want to do an PhD in the future and i believe that if i do an MBA it would be wasting time as well as money when my main goal is to do an PhD. What do you think should be my approach towards this. And i am preparing for gmat along with a few Indian exams and am hoping to get 650+ score. What is your outlook for this. Thanks RSM
Hi RSM, good to see that you have clarity on what you want to do. MiM programs don't ask for experience, so the 4 months + break wouldn't be a deal breaker. A score of 650 would be quite low, if you are targeting a good score. Also make sure you read up more about PhD, since a lot of aspirants underestimate the effort and commitment required for it.
Thanks Sameer, I will research and then only proceed towards PhD, and I will try to better my score i guess, if I dont start working and leave this job entirely would that be a deal breaker? If I focused on GMAT and application from now on, and apply by march deadlines. Would that work, doing nothing for this whole time ?
Hii sir. I am Arman Iftekar Mulla. I am in fy bcom . I am looking forward to London Business School. Sir my problem is I don't have too many extra curricular In clg.

So how can improve in this . It will very helpful for me sir if give some advice to me .
You still have a lot of time to get involved in extra-curriculars. Make the most of your time in college, and then also focus on building your profile. We have a video on how to do that.
Hello sir! Do LBS and HEC recognize BBA as a bachelor's degree? I'm asking this because some american B- schools do not recognize it. Also, my specializations are event management and finance, how should i work towards my profile so that it helps me during MiM applications? Thank you! Kindly reply.
I have recently qualified as Chartered Accountant in 2021. But I am right now not inclined towards any field, may be due to lack of experience. So should I go for MIM or MSC in Business Management.
Your answer lies in your question. If the lack of experience is resulting in having no inclination, get some experience first and discover your interests. Then consider a masters degree.
If you don't have a serious plan for what you'll do with the degree, even the best one won't help. You've worked hard for your CA qualification. Why not use it to gain some exposure first?
Management courses typically do not fall under STEM. But some bschools are getting creative and finding ways to get their MS programs STEM certified. It's best to check their official websites to find out if they offer any STEM courses.
I have a doubt regarding my choices My question is not regarding the difference. But it is more inclined towards my eligibility for mim . I want to move into the business side with analytics as another domain. So i found few mim courses that are suitable in that respect. But i am a 2020 passout with 14 months of work experience. I will be taking admission next year so i would turn 26 by the time I start my curriculum over there. Now considered all these do you think it's advisable to do mim taking job opportunities in mind too ?
MiM won't be a good fit since you'd have over 3 years experience by the time you start. Better to start exploring mainstream MBA options and build your profile for it.
@@MBACrystalBall I will complete 2 years of work exp by next year January. mba abroad would be too costly. And i wanted to move out to start a career there
Most programs start in Fall (ie around Sep). So you'll have 2.9 yrs of experience, right? Make sure you talk to current MiM students and alumni to see how many have over 2 years experience in the class and how they fared after graduating.
Sir I want to make my career in marketing so what should I do MiM or a specialised program in msc in marketing management And sir why fees of mim is more than msc in marketing is mim more premium and good than msc
Sir many Germany and European university are asking for undergrads in business or economics related field for applying to MiM program. Sir what should I do I'm a arts student I've just studied humanities in my undergrads. Now I want to make my career in the field of management and I thought MiM will make it.
Like the MBA, an MiM degree is also a general management degree. If you can show that you have the aptitude and interest for it, and also the clarity of what you'll do after getting the degree, go ahead and apply. If you're not at that stage yet, hold back and get some experience first.
I've recently completed my graduation (bcom) and I'm a fresher. I want to get into management. Which would be better option(in terms of ROI) for better career n lifestyle ? .. preparing for CAT n other exams and try to get into IIM and other top B-schools in India ? or preparing for ielts,gmat etc and try to get into better University for MIM Abroad ? .. My academics : class 10-7.8 cgpa , class 12-65% and bcom -6.5 score and which would be more easier to get into ?
The underlying rationale remains the same, right? Which one gives you a better chance considering your long term goals? If your plan is to work in India, then a good Indian MBA should work well for RoI and local opportunities.
sir i have a question regarding same......... 10th- 6.8 cgpa 12th- 88% under graduate- 5.86 cgpa from hansraj college, university of delhi. extra curriculum - i was leading my fashion society as a president in hans raj college and i have done 20+ shows in national and interstate competition. work experience- as a project manager in fashion industry for 1.5 years. * i want to study in abroad like london business school or top B Schools in Canada ,UK, US. * which course is good for me MBA & MIM? * Should i apply in London business school?
MiM works well when you start the program will under 2 years of experience. Since you already have 1.5 years experience, you'll be on the threshold. If you have the patience, we'd recommend working for a couple of years and then going for a mainstream MBA (such as LBS). That'll give you global recognition compared to an MiM.
Sir, I m a civil engineer with 1.8 years experience as a quality enginer .I m planing to do mim from uk as I don’t have interest in my technical subjects & profession instead of my core specialisation.Which subject should I opt for in mim?
A more basic question to answer would be - why you think an MiM wouldn't go down the same path as your engineering degree. Are you absolutely sure that a management degree will give you what you're looking for?

MiM is a general management degree, which allows greater flexibility for students to change directions based on their interests. In contrats, project management is a highly specialised field. If your primary goal is to make money, any good degree would work. But you may not be happy with the job, if it doesn't align with your interests. So make sure you have some goals that go beyond just making money.
Sir, Now I'm in Germany for a 1year language program (National visa). How can I apply for MIM from here. I have completed A1 now. 8 months still remaining.
I recently decided to abandon my physics studies because I was interested in business so I started to study industrial engineering. I'll have 30 when I have finished my studies. My question is if at that age they receive students at the MiM. I would like to do the MiM, but I see that the average age is 23 years in the majority. I am interested in LBS, INSEAD or HEC. I am determined to make a career in marketing ... What do you recomend ?
As we mention in the video, the MiM is for folks who've got less than 2 years experience. If you are at that stage at 30, it might be better to gain work experience first (since you'd have a lot of catching up to do with your peers) rather than heading back into academics.
Most masters degrees don't officially put an upper age limit, but there always the bigger issue of not fitting into a program for several reasons. It's up to the student to take a call on whether they'd fit in or not, and whether the degree will give them the value they expect.
Hey sameer i am pursuing bcom as my ug degree and will complete in 2023 and planning to do MIM from UK. Do u think its right for me as my main goal is to work in UK only and try to get PR. And is there a better course than MiM for me .. I wanna know ur opinion.
Others can't tell you what's good for you, as they have no real understanding of your interests, aptitude and long-term career goals. You'll have to take that call independently based on your research (including videos like this one). Also talk to current students to find out what's good and what isn't about such programs. You'll have lesser surprises later.
Hello sameer, I wanted a suggestion of whether to pursue MiF or MiM from a top university if one has a Cfa charter and CPA charter along with 740 in Gmat. Considering roles in consulting or in pure finance. Currently having 2 years of experience in a small CA firm.
For consulting roles, an MBA would be more effective than an MiM. And considering your experience, you're already beyond the stage where an MiM will be relevant. If you can hold on to your horses for a year or two more, you can apply to several good mainstream MBA programs. Sure you can go for MFin this year, but keep in mind that it won't allow you to switch into any non-finance role, as MFin won't have the same flexibility as a general management degree.
@@MBACrystalBall but considering my experience in a small Chartered accountancy firm even if i switch my company to a reputable one in finance and get couple of more years of experience, how high gmat do you think can increase my chances to schools like insead or Wharton
I am an engg. Graduate from NIT with a cgpa of 8.74. I also recently got a job at an MNC named SKF bearings. i am planning to pursue MIM from london business school. What can i do to strengthen my profile. If you have any better suggestions then please suggest Thanks
An MiM would be a good option for folks who don't have a strong undergrad brand or a good job after graduation. Considering you have both, why not be patient and work for a few years. The experience will strengthen your profile, and also give you better clarity about where you want to take your career. A mainstream MBA will be a much stronger qualification to add to your resume after an NIT degree. If that's not what you're looking for, then strong test scores, academic grades, and a well-written application would be what you can focus on.
Well sir the problem is that i am currently working in the technical side but i always wanted to work in finance as an investment banker therefore will it be good to switch early for an Mim or wait for MBA and then switch to finance, another dilemma is that after working in technical manufacturing field will it be possible to switch to investment banking role after an MBA. Lastly is Mim from LBS better or PGP of IIM’s w.r.t. job opportunity Thanks
A top IIM degree will help you more than an MiM to make a career shift into finance. It's also more economical. Investment banking roles are always the toughest to get, specially for radical career changers.
Sir found that some colleges abroad accepts cat scores. Could you tell me whether cats scores will reduce my chance for colleges abroad (HEC Paris) or will i get the same chance as Gmat.

Is MIM better than MSc in Europe? In terms of career opportunities after graduation As i want to pursue marketing which was my specialization subject during my bachelor's and both MIM and MSc have marketing program/subject option so I'm bit confused here Edit- i want to complete my masters in Europe only
Often, the same wine tends to be sold in different packages by different universities. A look at their official pages will give you an idea of how similar those MSc programs are to MiM. Also, check out their employment data to see if your target companies are recruiting. As a general rule, front-office marketing roles can be tougher for international students.
@@MBACrystalBall as far as I've searched, the difference in admission process is MIM require GRE and MSc does not, will that affect value of MSc just because they have waived GRE
@@shantanupatil9062 If the program has been enjoying a good reputation in the industry for many years, then waving the GRE will not have much of an impact. Just ensure that the quality of the program and the peer group are what you expect them to be.
Hi Sameer ! , This was really informative and helpful video to know about the MiM. Can you do a similar video to cover the MS in Business Analytics degree and it's prospects etc. It's becoming popular these days as data science skill sets are in demand and would love to see a detailed video covering all the aspects of MSBA. Thanks !!.
,Can I do MBA after completing my MIM degree from Europe , I think so because I have no work experience and I am pursuing B.Tech and in 4rd year of B.Tech , please 🙏 reply sir
Management programs such as the MiM and MBA don't really care about the undergrad degree (whether it's engineering, arts, science etc). But they surely would want to know your motivation to get a management degree. as mentioned in the video, many MiM degrees offer a selection of electives to choose from. You'll find HR related electives too. But an MiM (and MBA) by nature is a supposed to be a general management degree, as opposed to a specialised Masters like MFin, MEM etc.
Hey. I am a fresh BTech Grad in IT without job experience. I am aiming for Brunnel University , London for Msc in Management. What about the job scenario ?
Going for any masters degree without experience means you'd be competing with local candidates for the good jobs. That makes it more challenging when all you have is a degree rather than actual skills / experience that companies value.
Sure, but does the college guarantee that they'll give you a good internship? Most don't. It's up to students to hunt for one they want, just like a job. And that makes the process very competitive. Anyway, that's a different topic compared to your orig query. Coming back to your earlier question, an internship is an extension of the academic replacement, and not a replacement for full-time regular work experience .
@@MBACrystalBall sir I am confused because I am afraid of is there any difference in subjects because I haven't read bio and physics so sir are. theses subject available in this course pls let me know sir 🙏
Management courses don't have biology and physics. You'll find the course content on any official site. Make sure you do thorough research before taking any decision.
MiM is still largely a Europe centric degree. Other regions have started offering it, but there aren't enough to create a ranking for those. The alternative is to check out the top business schools in Canada (we have a video on that) and check whether they offer MiM equivalent degrees.
Hello Sir this video waived my Confusions and best part of my collection. I'm interested in finance Like Mfin also Is GMAT is compulsory for MiM or Mfin ??
Please 'like' the video, if you found this helpful. Share your queries about applying to international programs in the comments below.
Thanks Sameer the information is really helpful !
@@davidj4654 Thanks. Curious to know why your account name shows as 'Google User'. Any special privacy settings?
Is there any possibility in the future that the MIM degree will give good career options and respected equally to an MBA degree?
@@ragulraj2072 Yes to the part about good career options. But I'd think it'll probably not get the 'same' respect that a top tier MBA grad gets because it's not just the degree that matters but the whole package of what recruiters are getting (MBA grads bring with them a lot of relevant skills that recruiters value). Would you agree with that view?
Hi Sameer , thanks for the video, it was very helpful.
I am CMA by profession but I don't have any work experience and I am an undergraduate.
I want to know some of your opinions,
1. If there is no financial issue, a masters in abroad or India??
2. Masters in finance or mim??
Please help me out with these questions!!
Each and Every Points Are well Explained... Thanks
well explained... Thank you sir
I'm doing my bachlor's in commerce from an open university and i want to do further studies in management from france. As i don't have time to have a work exp. of 2 years i would like to pursue MIM. I want to know does my degree from an open university work as a barricade?
Please answer my this question its bugging me for a while now. Regards
Many programs will expect a full-time degree as a pre-requisite. However, there may be some that'll be open to any form of degree, irrespective of whether it's a traditional classroom based degree or online / distance education. The best way to validate it would be by reaching out to a few official MiM admission teams and asking them directly. That way you'd be saved the risk of submitting to colleges where you aren't eligible.
Woah I wasn't expecting this?
The only problem I have about a MiM is that it has a generalist approach rather than a specialized one. So it boils down to that . A generalist approach makes sense when you're during an MBA after your masters, you're more experienced and can use a business degree better. I already have an undergraduate in business administration and though I loved it and learnt alot, I'm still wondering if i should choose a specific topic in business such as analytics and specialise in it.
I think then it boils down to who u know, cause MiM from the best colleges open up a lot of doors for a person in terms of careers. But I can't help but feel like specialising in a certain field and then going for a formal business education would be a better decision. This is mainly cause unlike an undergraduate in STEM, I have an undergraduate in business administration - which covers a wide number of topics. I feel like specialisation is better than hopping onto another business degree.
What do you guys think??
If you already have an undergrad degree in business, going for an MiM won't help much. And you've pretty much covered the reasons. A couple of options you can consider:
- Skip the masters for now, work for a few years and then consider an MBA.
- Go for a specialised masters and get into the role/company you want. Don't include an MBA in the equation for now. Think about it after you've got a few years of post MS experience.
Other specializations like HR aint involved in MiM?
can you please tell me the source video of that starting drum beats.
One of our (multi-talented) MBA consulting clients created it.
Sir please do a video on Comparing the MIM vs MIB vs Masters in Finance courses, and their value in country to country and salaries and job opportunity and eligibility and the recruiters and more..
An amazing and informative video!! Can you please, let us know post career options after pursuing an MIM since most of the colleges in Europe offer MIM programmes? Thanks.
Check out our MBA jobs video. MiM offers similar roles, but at a more junior level.
Sir, does MiM make sense after completing chartered accountancy in India? At the age of 26?
Waiting for an MBA delays my education abroad which is a concern
There'd be an age mismatch given the average age in a typical MiM class. If you don't see that as an issue, go ahead.
Sir, I'm pursuing Economics Hons from DU.
Should I apply for MIM?
Does MIM accept GRE scores? Because my other option is Masters in Economics which only take GRE
Most masters management programs are becoming more open to accepting both scores (GMAT and GRE). Best to check on their official websites before proceeding. Whether you should pursue an MiM or not, is a personal call you'll need to take based on where you see your career going.
Please make a video comparing a
*CEMS MIM +Specialized masters dual degree* and the regular *MBA*
Which is better To get a job in MBB, preferably in North America
I am confused between Mim and masters in project managment.
Can someone clarify me?
Already responded to your re-worded question. So skipping this one.
hello, i loved the video. Can you also make one about msc in marketing vs MBA specialization in marketing? thankyou!
We've covered MSc in Marketing in detail here: www.mbacrystalball.com/masters-degree/marketing
A great video ✨ I had a question and it would be great if you answer it.
If a student of engineering background did MiM immediately after his/her bachelors and then worked in the management/technology sector for say 5-10 years, will it be a good option to do an MBA after an experience for further growth ? Or is it so that an MBA isn’t of much help if you have already done MiM ?
Some MiM grads follow this option, as they realise that their MiM degree isn't giving them the opportunities they'd have got from a mainstream MBA.
As Many MBA programs in the world require 4-5 years of Work Experience,Is it right to do MiM from Europe and Work for 4 years and then doing an MBA as it gives Global exposure
IF SOMEONE CAN AFFORD THE COST OF TWO FOREIGN DEGREES
Sure, you can do that.
Sir, I got 8.06 GPA in my mechanical engineering degree in bachelors. I have 6 month internship experience. I completed my bachelor's in 2020. I want to do MIM from USA. (as MBA is too expensive). But sir, since it is non STEM, will I get a job in USA? A lot of Americans do management degrees, so will I get a job in USA? I am an Indian. I have interest in MBA. I have no interest in STEM fields now. If I wont get OPT extension in MIM, that would be risky. And employers wont give me job too.
Your concerns are justified. It is a risky proposition to go abroad with very little work experience to bank upon. If you aren't sure, better to wait and build your profile first rather than rushing into something with no guarantees.
Hlo sir I'm getting Confused in what is the difference between MiM and msc in management program. Sir you told me they are same but I found some University offering both msc in management and MIM how can it be possible if both are same.
Sir I'll be very thankful to you if you help me out
Seems like you took our responses in a literal manner. We mentioned they are 'similar' in many respects, not 'same'. Their focus is different. After looking at the official sites, if you are still confused, better not to go ahead with the application. Wait for a few years and then apply for an MBA where there's no confusion.
I can't find a MIM degree which is a 'STEM course' in U.S.A.Can you suggest any course which is similar to MIM and STEM.I just graduated and I'm planning for spring intake.
Seems like you posted this multiple times. We've answered it on the other post.
Hello, in MiM applications, is only the cumulative / overall GPA considered or specific semester wise grades are looked into as well? If a potential applicant meets the overall GPA requirement, but has a declining trend in semester grades, can that be a cause of concern? Would be highly grateful if you could clarify on this, thanks!
The MiM admissions process will expect transcripts of all semesters, in addition to the overall grade. If there's any anomaly across the years, that could raise some questions. If you can answer those, then you have nothing to worry about.
@@MBACrystalBall Thank you for the reply. Can it be a reasonable explanation that the candidate was more focused towards another professional qualification like CA whilst the declining trend was there? Also, can an upward trend in the final semester help mitigate some of the concerns from the previous semesters? Please clarify on this too, if possible. Thank you!
That's an ok explanation. It can work better if you got your CA qualification. Did you? Or is it still work in progress?
@@MBACrystalBall I was asking on behalf of my son. He's in his final year of under graduation, and doing CA currently. Will be starting his ca articleship this year.
Many CAs who work with us, apply to regular international MBA programs after getting some work experience. That can help mitigate low undergrad grades to some extent.
i thinking of joining in a mim university is it better to give gmat or gre as the university stated gre/gmat is not required but i want to increase my chance for selection
If a program specifically says they don't require a test score, then sharing one may not make much of a difference. But you also should be careful about programs that make it too easy to join.
I am finisching a bachelor in chemistry in germany. I am think of pursuing a MiM a TUM. What i want to know who important are social skills in the job ? I would say I am average.
An international program would push your social skills to the limit, since there's a lot of collaborative learning and networking. So it's important to develop them.
I am Engineering Graduate Which Course Should I opt
Check out video on MS vs MBA after graduation.
Many top colleges seem to take only those students who are from business, economic or mathematics background, what to do if I am a mass communication students.
You're right that the numbers of applicants are higher from those fields. But it's also more difficult for them to differentiate themselves. Applicants from under-represented fields also get in, but they have to highlight all the traits that make them unique and competitive. Takes a little more effort to get there. So don't give up hope.
Hello sir.
I was looking forward to do MIM n Germany.

Hey have you done mim ?
Sir pls recommend me a Canadian University where I can study mim in marketing/brand management
Just general marketing I don't want digital marketing
You'll find the top MiM programs mostly in Europe since it's more popular there. In Canada, the MBA degree is more popular.
Sir,
If i am interested in marketing/sales/ business development , should i approach toward mim and specialise in the same but at the same time get holistic approach or take masters in the feild i want to pursue?
For marketing roles, it's better to have some experience and then go for an MBA (instead of MiM). The pre-MBA experience will help you while job hunting.
After completing a masters &came back to india it's worth it in india for corporet job prospectous
Depends on where you complete your masters from, and how much that university brand is known in India.
Please can u make a video on MIS I mean MS in management and information systems
We've covered MS in MIS here: www.mbacrystalball.com/masters-degree/management-information-systems-mis
For the MSc Management course, which university would be a better option, Trinity College Dublin or Cranfield University UK?
Depends on where you want to work after the degree - Ireland or UK. Cranfield will get you closer to London, with many more higher paying opportunities.
Sir , I would like to do MBA in mass communication or media management can you suggest me good universities or colleges in usa , and did this specialization has future?
Good video Sir,
It would be more helpful if you could make a detailed video on subject/specializations in MIM.
Hi Piyush, many of the popular specialisation options we've covered in our MBA specialisation video are applicable to MiM as well. Do check it out.
hey great video....one question...can you recommend any universities in USA for MiM?
MiM is predominantly a European degree, so you'll find most programs there. USA has similar options, but they're packaged as specialised MS programs with different names. We don't have a readymade list to share though.
hey, at 5:42 fees of escp is also around $45k. Also, essec and escp offer optional gap year too. I'm thinking for mim in france and hoping if you could give some info on job prospects after I return to India with 3-4 years of international experience. (from top 3 schools)
The RoI will be the best if you can get a local job in Europe and work for a few years. Beyond that your experience will matter more than your degree. However, if you're forced to get back to India immediately after graduation, most Indian employers might prefer MBA grads from reputed Indian colleges (such as IIMs) over MiM, since the latter isn't a global, mainstream degree yet.
Hey Sameer! Quite an informative video!
Would appreciate your advice in this one:
I have scored 95% in both 10th & 12th, done my B.Tech with 8.1 CGPA. Have a work experience of 2+ years in sales and marketing field.
Currently planning to go to Canada for Masters in Supply Chain.
Do you recommend MBA or MiM for the above profile?
You'll have 3+ years if you got into any program that starts next year. Which makes an MBA a better fit.
@@MBACrystalBall Thanks admin. Just one more thing:
As I will have 3 years work exp, how would be the job prospects post MBA Supply Chain in Canada?
Canada does not have as many MBA jobs as the United States offers. So it will still be challenging to get a good break. What does make it easier is the fact that getting a work permit will not take up all the effort.
@@MBACrystalBall In that case, wouldn't it be a better option to do a 2 year MS in SCM or PGDM in SCM? Speaking strictly for a job placement point of view?
While not unusual, we've seen experienced candidates choosing an MS degree over MBA. It completely depends on which degree suits your career and personal aspirations.
Sir can you please tell me the list of TOP PUBLIC UNIVERSITIES in GERMANY for MIM.

Hi sir I have one question, for which I couldn't get appropriate answer from 3 top abroad education consultants.
I have completed my b.tech in 2017(completed 4years without degree), but because of backlogs I couldn't complete it. But doing MBA abroad is my dream. Hence I applied for distance BA degree from recognised university in 2018, which I will surely Complete it by 2020 December. Also I started working in sales department immediately after I came out of engineering college. Now, considering my gap in education and degree being correspondence, will I get admission in good MBA/MIM college abroad.? If yes what impact will my gap years and distance degree have on my career in future.? Awaiting your response. Thanks in advance.
Those consultants couldn't answer it because nobody apart from the admissions committee can take a call on this. So, instead of trying to get answers from education consultants, reach out directly to some MBA / MiM programs and find out if they'd encourage you to apply.
@@MBACrystalBall Hi sir thanks for your response. I have contacted universities directly with this query. Where in HEC PARIS has positively responded and asked me to apply and am awaiting reply from other universities
@@Gopi-rb6yo Good going! At least you know now that your application to HEC Paris will be taken seriously. Hope you hear some positive news from the others too.
Sir could you plz make a video which differentiates between MIM and MIB/MSC in international business??
They're more or less the same, with one focusing on general management, while the other has a specialisation.
Hello sir i am a 2nd year bachelor student In India and i want to join London Business School MIM course
I want to ask that will my class 10 score consider for admission and does low school grades also affects in placement there pls reply
10th and 12th scores don't matter for international masters level admissions or placements. Your graduate grades will be important. Check the admission requirements on the LBS website to get more clarity on what they expect.
@@MBACrystalBall sir do we have to write our 10th 12th grades in CV which we submit there
I had experience of 7 years but I don’t have budget for mba .
What should I do ? MIM or MBA Executive. Even I don’t have good past educational records. But I had a good experience with good MNC companies.
It's too late for MiM. MBA will fit better. Most students fund their international masters / MBA degree using a combination of savings, loans and scholarships. We have a separate video on how to get scholarships.
I am BSC in Botany, i want to do International Buisness course but can't decide what to do ? MBA or Masters ?

How many years of work experience do you have currently?
@@MBACrystalBall currently I am giving competitive exams, I don't have work experience. I was thinking of doing a masters in future.
A regular (GMAT) MBA is ruled out, since you haven't started working. You could consider options such as MiM. But it's not as widely recognised as an MBA. The alternative is to work for a few years and then consider a masters. Is that an option worth considering?
@@MBACrystalBall at present situation I can't work as I am studying for government exams, i thought if i couldn't clear this government exams i will do masters abroad. My age is 23 at present.
As you continue with your exam prep, consider the opportunity costs of your decision too. At some point, you'll have to draw a line on how long you want to continue preparing for exams. For that you'll have to be very honest with yourself and evaluate your odds of getting what you're preparing for.
Sir, your take on the Oxford Brookes University's MSc in Management program?
Objective is not to study and come back with a loan on my head.
Objective is to immigrate into the UK or any of the other usual suspect countries that Indians want to get into. Either this or coming back to India with enough education pedigree and/or experience to get hired in a relevant role.
This University doesn't feature in the FT rankings but is ranked, although not on top, in QS.
Please let me know the overall risk involved and any other things to consider that I'm missing out on.
Let's say that my profile is competitive enough only for this league of universities and that I cannot score enough in the MBA exams here in India for premier Indian B-Schools.
We're not familiar with it, since (as you rightly mentioned) it doesn't rank high. With international programs, there's always a risk of heading back home with a big loan. Try connecting with current students to learn the good/bad/ugly sides, and then figure out if it's right for you.

Sir can you please make a video on business analyst programs in Europe
Business analyst is a role, not a degree. E.g. Many MiM degree grads join as business analysts after graduation. Did you have something else in mind?
Sir I was planning to go for the MIM program next year but now due to the COVID19 pandemic the kind of situation that is created in Europe, is it going to harm the number of students Europian universities take in next year, also are further job prospects at risk?
Please help me make the right decision either I should go for it next year i.e 2021 or 2022.
Your concerns are justified. It's expected to get tougher for students who're graduating in the midst of a global recession. In such a situation, those who have proven skills and experience to highlight will have an edge over others who just have degrees. Our recommendation is always to go for a management degree after getting a few years of work experience.
I am an Indian graduate. Now, I am thinking about doing MIM in Ireland or UK at marketing or strategy. Not I know that it would cost about 25L for a 1 year degree. I can afford that 25L but it would be ridiculous if I pay that amount of money and then not get a job there, right? What good it would be spending all that money just to come here in India and work for 25k month? Although I would really love to go abroad and work there! What should I do? I have part-time work experience.
You're right, Abhinaba. It sure is a lot of money. And there are no guarantees that you'll get a job abroad either, when you have nothing else to offer beyond a degree. It's best to gain some experience first and build some solid and practical skills that employers value. Then think about whether you need another degree.
Hi
I have observed that students who graduated with a business degree are not eligible to pursue this course. Or at least this is what I found in every eligibility criteria of Universities in Canada. Is there an alternate course I can pursue similar to MIM. {Except MBA since I don't have any work experience right now}
Thanks
There are options such as MIB, MFin and other masters courses.
What other Masters degrees are there like MIM who are not from engeering field....and in what field they can take Masters in Canada....Any suggestions
There are plenty of non-STEM masters. You'll have to do the research based on your interests and career goals. We've listed several here: www.mbacrystalball.com/masters-degree
How is the current job market for a student finishing an Mim course from the top 10 schools?
We've shared some stats in the video. For the most recent data, it's best to visit the official sites.
Can you also make a video about Masters in Finance in Canada as many Universities are offering but details are not accurate everywhere.
That's probably because Canada isn't as popular as some other countries for MFin options: www.mbacrystalball.com/masters-degree/finance

I was hoping you could give me some advice. I completed a Bachelor's in Communication Studies, and since I'm not interested in an MBA i was looking into doing an MiM from Singapore Management University. Would you happen to know what the quality of education + job prospects are like there?
MiM has largely seen better acceptance in Europe, so others don't get as much buzz around them. If you aren't sure about it, best to wait for a few years and then go for a regular MBA.

Hello Sir,
I hve applied for mim in uk and received offer from both strathclyde and cranfield business school .Which would you suggest me?
Congrats on the admits. Both are more or less in a similar positioning as far as prestige and recognition are concerned. So there's no strong reason to choose one of the other (as you would find in an LBS-vs-Strathclyde kind of situation). Talk to current students to get a better feel for what to expect, and then take the call.
@@MBACrystalBall thanks sir
Sir in every University having mim programs will have a marketing specialization too or I've to search it before applying
Better to check rather than assume. You can send an email to your target programs admissions team, if it isn't specifically mentioned on their website.
Hello Sameer, I would like to take your advice on how I should proceed with my post graduate plans.
Let me tell you a bit about my academic background
10th- 88%
12th- 68%(science)
Graduation- 7.35 CGPA in BBA
I graduated just this year and started working as a management trainee from July onwards but due to some health issues i had to leave the job for a few months. I have 4 months work experience if it counts as anything, but i would be well enough to continue working from January onwards.
I was considering MIM that starts in September 2020 or January 2021 at most. My reasoning for choosing an mim is that i want to do an PhD in the future and i believe that if i do an MBA it would be wasting time as well as money when my main goal is to do an PhD.
What do you think should be my approach towards this. And i am preparing for gmat along with a few Indian exams and am hoping to get 650+ score. What is your outlook for this.
Thanks
RSM
Hi RSM, good to see that you have clarity on what you want to do. MiM programs don't ask for experience, so the 4 months + break wouldn't be a deal breaker. A score of 650 would be quite low, if you are targeting a good score. Also make sure you read up more about PhD, since a lot of aspirants underestimate the effort and commitment required for it.
Thanks Sameer, I will research and then only proceed towards PhD, and I will try to better my score i guess, if I dont start working and leave this job entirely would that be a deal breaker?
If I focused on GMAT and application from now on, and apply by march deadlines. Would that work, doing nothing for this whole time ?
We don't recommend that approach. Here's why: www.mbacrystalball.com/blog/2015/04/17/quit-job-to-study-for-gmat/
Hii sir. I am Arman Iftekar Mulla. I am in fy bcom . I am looking forward to London Business School. Sir my problem is I don't have too many extra curricular In clg.

So how can improve in this . It will very helpful for me sir if give some advice to me .
You still have a lot of time to get involved in extra-curriculars. Make the most of your time in college, and then also focus on building your profile. We have a video on how to do that.
Mim is only for engineering student in foreign. Or for commerce student also.
Commerce graduates can also apply. Just make sure if they have a 16 year education requirement or not.
IELTS is enough or we neet to take GMAT too for the admission for MIM
The top ones would expect a GMAT score. You can check on their official websites to be sure.
Hello sir! Do LBS and HEC recognize BBA as a bachelor's degree? I'm asking this because some american B- schools do not recognize it. Also, my specializations are event management and finance, how should i work towards my profile so that it helps me during MiM applications? Thank you! Kindly reply.
Best to send them your profile details and ask if you'd be eligible, to avoid last minute surprises. We have a separate video on building the profile.
I have recently qualified as Chartered Accountant in 2021. But I am right now not inclined towards any field, may be due to lack of experience. So should I go for MIM or MSC in Business Management.
Your answer lies in your question. If the lack of experience is resulting in having no inclination, get some experience first and discover your interests. Then consider a masters degree.
@@MBACrystalBall And what if I go for MIM, as it is said to be general management course.
If you don't have a serious plan for what you'll do with the degree, even the best one won't help. You've worked hard for your CA qualification. Why not use it to gain some exposure first?
Ok. Thank you so much for your suggestions 😊
Sir,Does MiM and MEM comes under STEM?
Management courses typically do not fall under STEM. But some bschools are getting creative and finding ways to get their MS programs STEM certified. It's best to check their official websites to find out if they offer any STEM courses.
I have a doubt regarding my choices
My question is not regarding the difference. But it is more inclined towards my eligibility for mim .
I want to move into the business side with analytics as another domain. So i found few mim courses that are suitable in that respect. But i am a 2020 passout with 14 months of work experience. I will be taking admission next year so i would turn 26 by the time I start my curriculum over there.
Now considered all these do you think it's advisable to do mim taking job opportunities in mind too ?
MiM won't be a good fit since you'd have over 3 years experience by the time you start. Better to start exploring mainstream MBA options and build your profile for it.
@@MBACrystalBall I will complete 2 years of work exp by next year January. mba abroad would be too costly. And i wanted to move out to start a career there
Most programs start in Fall (ie around Sep). So you'll have 2.9 yrs of experience, right? Make sure you talk to current MiM students and alumni to see how many have over 2 years experience in the class and how they fared after graduating.
After class 12 what will be the best option ( colledge or coaching)in India to start International business?
Complete your education first with full focus and do well. You can think about business after that.
Thank you😁
Which are the best universities which do not require GMAT, GRE and Work ex for MIM?

Sir I want to make my career in marketing so what should I do MiM or a specialised program in msc in marketing management
And sir why fees of mim is more than msc in marketing is mim more premium and good than msc

Sir what should I do I'm a arts student I've just studied humanities in my undergrads. Now I want to make my career in the field of management and I thought MiM will make it.
Like the MBA, an MiM degree is also a general management degree. If you can show that you have the aptitude and interest for it, and also the clarity of what you'll do after getting the degree, go ahead and apply. If you're not at that stage yet, hold back and get some experience first.
I've recently completed my graduation (bcom) and I'm a fresher. I want to get into management. Which would be better option(in terms of ROI) for better career n lifestyle ? .. preparing for CAT n other exams and try to get into IIM and other top B-schools in India ? or preparing for ielts,gmat etc and try to get into better University for MIM Abroad ? .. My academics : class 10-7.8 cgpa , class 12-65% and bcom -6.5 score and which would be more easier to get into ?
We have a detailed video on getting an MBA in India vs abroad. Check it out.
@@MBACrystalBall Not MBA Abroad.. MIM Abroad vs MBA India
The underlying rationale remains the same, right? Which one gives you a better chance considering your long term goals? If your plan is to work in India, then a good Indian MBA should work well for RoI and local opportunities.
After b.com can I do MiM in Germany?
Yes, you can. Check whether the program has any specific requirements on the bachelors degree e.g. 3 vs 4 years.
I am a BBA (HONS) student should I do MBA after BBA hons or MIM?
International MBA programs expect several years of work experience. So that's not an option if you've graduated recently.
sir i have a question regarding same.........
10th- 6.8 cgpa
12th- 88%
under graduate- 5.86 cgpa from hansraj college, university of delhi.
extra curriculum - i was leading my fashion society as a president in hans raj college and i have done 20+ shows in national and interstate competition.
work experience- as a project manager in fashion industry for 1.5 years.
* i want to study in abroad like london business school or top B Schools in Canada ,UK, US.
* which course is good for me MBA & MIM?
* Should i apply in London business school?
MiM works well when you start the program will under 2 years of experience. Since you already have 1.5 years experience, you'll be on the threshold. If you have the patience, we'd recommend working for a couple of years and then going for a mainstream MBA (such as LBS). That'll give you global recognition compared to an MiM.
Sir, I m a civil engineer with 1.8 years experience as a quality enginer .I m planing to do mim from uk as I don’t have interest in my technical subjects & profession instead of my core specialisation.Which subject should I opt for in mim?
A more basic question to answer would be - why you think an MiM wouldn't go down the same path as your engineering degree. Are you absolutely sure that a management degree will give you what you're looking for?
@@MBACrystalBall how can one figure this out in the context of MiM/MBA
@@jaimesmith1086 Check out our video on why/when an MBA is not worth it.
@@MBACrystalBall Will check it out, thanks Sameer
From Europe you mean UK too? I mean are mim courses in demand in UK too?
Yes, LBS offers a good MiM program in the UK. But they're not an alternative to the mainstream MBA.
@@MBACrystalBall so mim from university other than LBS won't be a good idea in UK ? Coz LBS is costly and is very difficult to get accepted.
@@ShivamChauhan-rl6uc There are other options too, but you'll need to do your research and verify if they meet your expectations.
@@MBACrystalBall Ok thanks Sameer
Hi, I am Chartered Accountant. Is it worth pursuing mim? Especially when i am looking IB roles?
If you have the patience, get a few years of experience and consider an MBA.
Hi sir, I am in my second year of BBA and I do not wish to work after my bachelor's. I want to do a master's in Public relations, advertising, and marketing abroad. Pls let me know what courses will be suitable for me.
See if this helps: www.mbacrystalball.com/masters-degree/marketing
Can I get into Hedge funds/private equity after doing a Masters in Management then working as a Management Consultant?
Sure, that's a theoretical possibility. But rather than taking a detour via consulting, it would be helpful if you directly work in a finance role.
@@MBACrystalBall Ok 👍💯
list Foreign university MiM programe that accept Indian CAT exam
What is the source that you show the top mim program in the world list ??
I have a Bachelor's in a non-business related degree. I am also seeking a career change into some sort of business related field. Would this degree assist me in getting an entry level business position?
Yes, that's a common reason for non-business degree holders to take up an MiM.
@@MBACrystalBall Thank you for the quick reply. I hope you have a great day.
Hi sir,
I want to do engineering managment but the fees is quiet high for the course.
So i am planning for either masters in project managment or masters in managment but confused in choosing one.
Can you please guide me the pro and cons of the course please?
I am a mechanical engineer graduate and my main motive is to get a good pay job in australia.
@MBA Crystal Ball
MiM is a general management degree, which allows greater flexibility for students to change directions based on their interests. In contrats, project management is a highly specialised field. If your primary goal is to make money, any good degree would work. But you may not be happy with the job, if it doesn't align with your interests. So make sure you have some goals that go beyond just making money.
Sir, Now I'm in Germany for a 1year language program (National visa). How can I apply for MIM from here. I have completed A1 now. 8 months still remaining.
You can connect directly with MiM programs that interest you to find out more.
@@MBACrystalBall thank you for the reply 😇
I recently decided to abandon my physics studies because I was interested in business so I started to study industrial engineering. I'll have 30 when I have finished my studies. My question is if at that age they receive students at the MiM. I would like to do the MiM, but I see that the average age is 23 years in the majority. I am interested in LBS, INSEAD or HEC. I am determined to make a career in marketing ... What do you recomend ?
As we mention in the video, the MiM is for folks who've got less than 2 years experience. If you are at that stage at 30, it might be better to gain work experience first (since you'd have a lot of catching up to do with your peers) rather than heading back into academics.
@@MBACrystalBall then there isn't age limit to apply to the master degree ?
Most masters degrees don't officially put an upper age limit, but there always the bigger issue of not fitting into a program for several reasons. It's up to the student to take a call on whether they'd fit in or not, and whether the degree will give them the value they expect.
Hey sameer i am pursuing bcom as my ug degree and will complete in 2023 and planning to do MIM from UK. Do u think its right for me as my main goal is to work in UK only and try to get PR. And is there a better course than MiM for me .. I wanna know ur opinion.
Others can't tell you what's good for you, as they have no real understanding of your interests, aptitude and long-term career goals. You'll have to take that call independently based on your research (including videos like this one). Also talk to current students to find out what's good and what isn't about such programs. You'll have lesser surprises later.
Hello sameer,
I wanted a suggestion of whether to pursue MiF or MiM from a top university if one has a Cfa charter and CPA charter along with 740 in Gmat.
Considering roles in consulting or in pure finance. Currently having 2 years of experience in a small CA firm.
For consulting roles, an MBA would be more effective than an MiM. And considering your experience, you're already beyond the stage where an MiM will be relevant. If you can hold on to your horses for a year or two more, you can apply to several good mainstream MBA programs. Sure you can go for MFin this year, but keep in mind that it won't allow you to switch into any non-finance role, as MFin won't have the same flexibility as a general management degree.
@@MBACrystalBall but considering my experience in a small Chartered accountancy firm even if i switch my company to a reputable one in finance and get couple of more years of experience, how high gmat do you think can increase my chances to schools like insead or Wharton
@@cpapro2309 Being 30-40 points above the class average would help. but there are many other things that'll matter too.
Would I be eligible to study MiM if already have a masters degree in any other subject?
Please answer.
Best to check directly with your target programs, as the policies differ across bschools.
I am an engg. Graduate from NIT with a cgpa of 8.74. I also recently got a job at an MNC named SKF bearings. i am planning to pursue MIM from london business school. What can i do to strengthen my profile. If you have any better suggestions then please suggest
Thanks
An MiM would be a good option for folks who don't have a strong undergrad brand or a good job after graduation. Considering you have both, why not be patient and work for a few years. The experience will strengthen your profile, and also give you better clarity about where you want to take your career. A mainstream MBA will be a much stronger qualification to add to your resume after an NIT degree. If that's not what you're looking for, then strong test scores, academic grades, and a well-written application would be what you can focus on.
Well sir the problem is that i am currently working in the technical side but i always wanted to work in finance as an investment banker therefore will it be good to switch early for an Mim or wait for MBA and then switch to finance, another dilemma is that after working in technical manufacturing field will it be possible to switch to investment banking role after an MBA.
Lastly is Mim from LBS better or PGP of IIM’s w.r.t. job opportunity
Thanks
A top IIM degree will help you more than an MiM to make a career shift into finance. It's also more economical. Investment banking roles are always the toughest to get, specially for radical career changers.
Thankyou very much sir. This question has been bothering me for long
Sir found that some colleges abroad accepts cat scores. Could you tell me whether cats scores will reduce my chance for colleges abroad (HEC Paris) or will i get the same chance as Gmat.
For MiM programs that accept CAT, the official stand is that they don't discriminate between test scores.
@@MBACrystalBall thanks you for the information, sir
hello sir, could you tell me the difference between masters in international business and masters in management because their course names look almost the same?
You're right. It's quite confusing. For all practical purposes, it's the same wine served in different bottles.
I have done Bachelor in Commerce and I have 6 months of work experience. I want to go for MIM now through a Canada and and I aim for PR. Will this combination work for PR in future?
We don't have any expertise in PR matters.
Is MIM better than MSc in Europe? In terms of career opportunities after graduation
As i want to pursue marketing which was my specialization subject during my bachelor's and both MIM and MSc have marketing program/subject option so I'm bit confused here
Edit- i want to complete my masters in Europe only
Often, the same wine tends to be sold in different packages by different universities. A look at their official pages will give you an idea of how similar those MSc programs are to MiM. Also, check out their employment data to see if your target companies are recruiting. As a general rule, front-office marketing roles can be tougher for international students.
@@MBACrystalBall as far as I've searched, the difference in admission process is MIM require GRE and MSc does not, will that affect value of MSc just because they have waived GRE
@@shantanupatil9062 If the program has been enjoying a good reputation in the industry for many years, then waving the GRE will not have much of an impact. Just ensure that the quality of the program and the peer group are what you expect them to be.
Hi Sameer ! , This was really informative and helpful video to know about the MiM.
Can you do a similar video to cover the MS in Business Analytics degree and it's prospects etc.
It's becoming popular these days as data science skill sets are in demand and would love to see a detailed video covering all the aspects of MSBA.
Thanks !!.
Thanks for the suggestion, Ayush. We'll add it to our queue.
,Can I do MBA after completing my MIM degree from Europe , I think so because I have no work experience and I am pursuing B.Tech and in 4rd year of B.Tech , please 🙏 reply sir
For A art's student like ba. Students is it really good . &
What about MIM in HR
Management programs such as the MiM and MBA don't really care about the undergrad degree (whether it's engineering, arts, science etc). But they surely would want to know your motivation to get a management degree. as mentioned in the video, many MiM degrees offer a selection of electives to choose from. You'll find HR related electives too. But an MiM (and MBA) by nature is a supposed to be a general management degree, as opposed to a specialised Masters like MFin, MEM etc.
@@MBACrystalBall Okk im waiting but sir can you make a proper a separate video mna or mim in Australia ..
Hey. I am a fresh BTech Grad in IT without job experience. I am aiming for Brunnel University , London for Msc in Management. What about the job scenario ?
Going for any masters degree without experience means you'd be competing with local candidates for the good jobs. That makes it more challenging when all you have is a degree rather than actual skills / experience that companies value.
@@MBACrystalBall After the one year course, there's an additional year for internship. Would that help ?
@@manishkumarsahoo1069 You'd need to fight for that internship too, with local candidates, right?
@@MBACrystalBall But the college says, that internship is mandatory.
Sure, but does the college guarantee that they'll give you a good internship? Most don't. It's up to students to hunt for one they want, just like a job. And that makes the process very competitive. Anyway, that's a different topic compared to your orig query. Coming back to your earlier question, an internship is an extension of the academic replacement, and not a replacement for full-time regular work experience .
Sir are msc management and msc international business management Different from each other ...
They are similar in most respects, with MIB having a specific focus on international business.
@@MBACrystalBall sir I am confused because I am afraid of is there any difference in subjects because I haven't read bio and physics so sir are. theses subject available in this course pls let me know sir 🙏
Management courses don't have biology and physics. You'll find the course content on any official site. Make sure you do thorough research before taking any decision.
Ok sir thank u so much sir for this Information 🙏🙏
Sir I have choosen msc management is this one fine or not
Can you share few names of the Canadian universities that are considered to be the best for mim
MiM is still largely a Europe centric degree. Other regions have started offering it, but there aren't enough to create a ranking for those. The alternative is to check out the top business schools in Canada (we have a video on that) and check whether they offer MiM equivalent degrees.
Hello Sir this video waived my Confusions and best part of my collection.
I'm interested in finance Like Mfin also
Is GMAT is compulsory for MiM or Mfin ??
For all the good programs, yes it is compulsory.
@@MBACrystalBall thank You Sir
Sir could you please tell me about Windsor University for pursuing MIM ? Or can you suggest me some Universities in Canada sir
We don't have much insight about Windsor. MiM programs aren't as popular outside Europe, so the number of options in other regions is quite limited.
