GMAT: How undergraduates from IITs can get into top Business schools in the world?

  • What are the reasons that IITians have higher chances of being at the top 10 business schools in the world?

  • Answer:

    Thanks for the A2A, Ishan. First myth I'd like to dispel. Being from an IIT doesn't pre-qualify anyone for the Top 10 Bschools. I've come across over-confident IITians who went into the admissions process hoping their degree coupled with a high GMAT score will get Adcoms to lay out the red carpet for them. And you can guess how that story might've ended. Having said that, having an IIT degree does tell the Adcoms one thing. That the candidate has gone through a gruelling selection process. But this selectivity was based primarily on one super-tough entrance test. And the high GMAT score just underlines the same trait. High intellectual capability. However, for an MBA, there are other equally important traits that come into picture. The ability to think not like a brilliant technical guy, but someone who can manage and lead a business. Start working on those aspects and you'll come across as a well-rounded candidate rather than a (for lack of a better word)..nerd. And don't try to jump from the undergrad to MBA. Spend a few years working in India (or abroad if you have the opportunity). Get your hands dirty, learn the ropes, experience success and failure. Then think about the Top 10. Baaki sab kushal mangal!

IITs are very well known to top 10 business schools.Being an IITian gives adcoms the idea that you have been a part of a very competitive student group in you undergraduate and getting a good GPA must have been difficult. A high GPA and good GMAT score show that you can withstand the academic rigors of a business school. However,your undergraduate college cannot guarantee you an admit at a business school A decent work experience with leadership roles, extracurriculars,post-mba goals are all important components of your business school application.

If you are looking for admissions in top colleges of the world then first decide in which program you want to take admission. After that check what are the prerequisites of that particular program. The common factors which helps in getting admission are. Gmat score Toefl score Work ex. Lor Sop Extra curricular activities If they like your profile then admission council might take an interview. But before all these please make sure that you know the application deadlines.
