Useful Links for the MBA Aspirant



Useful Links for the MBA Aspirant ( Parents included)
For many of the youngsters who have completed their graduation and are on the cross roads of what to do next, the option of doing a post- graduation in business administration or business management looms large. Very clearly it would be time well spent and increasingly increases the possibility of gainful employment apart from providing the candidate with some very practical know how and know who when it comes to the commercial world.
Entry for these courses is restricted to the select few and the process involves an entrance examination followed by group discussions and an interview. There are many entrance examination formats and the most coveted one which is recognized by the crème de la crème of the Institutes is the CAT( Common Admission Test). These scores are used by the elite Indian Institutes of Management ( IIM’s ) apart from some other management Institutes. There are other entrance exams too which are all listed below as a “ready reckoner” for the eager aspirant and his/ her anxious parent.

Manthan the movie and IRMA

Manthan was a  movie on the cooperative movement in  Gujarat which revolutionized the dairy industry. It was based on Dr Varghese Kurien's life and it was brilliantly made by Shyam Benegal.
 This is a song from that movie which was popular on the IRMA campus where I did my post graduation in management studies. This movie was influential in my choosing to do my post-graduation at IRMA. I gave up a highly coveted MBA seat at the Cochin University to join up and have never regretted it since.
Post IRMA I joined the NDDB and was deputed to the World Bank team to appraise the Operation Flood ii projects.

AMUL hoardings

For years Amul hoardings have reflected the flavour of the moment, utterly, butterly, deliciously Indian in theme and content. Topicality of these hoardings have rubbed off favourably on the brand, it is very "fresh" in terms of what it says and being a dairy product the advantage need not be stated. The Indian ethos of the brand has helped it immensely against MNC's like Neslte's. Amul actually stands for Anand Milk Union Ltd and is a cooperative venture. The brand is managed by GCMMF a state level federation. Institute of Rural Management Anand, of which I am an alumnus, is the recruiting ground for such cooperatives. A lot of my alumni are in key positions here and they have done us proud by making this brand a mega success. Da cunha is the agency that handles this brand and has done so for decades.
