Hi,
I am software professional with 5.5 yrs of exp in a good MNC in India. I also have an onsite exposure for about and year in Europe.
My schooling aggregate is:78%
Intermediate: 82%
Computer Engineering :72% (Distinction)
I want to make a shift in my career and hence want to pursue an MBA.I was a java programmer for 4 yrs and promoted to a module Lead about 1.5 yrs back.
My husband is at onsite for abt 1.5 yrs and due to marital issues I had to join him in US, Hence I had to resign my job. It been 6 months that I am not working and looking at the present circumstances, I feel that we might have to stay there for about another couple of months.
I have just started preparing for GMAT . I couldn?t take up MBA for 2011 batch. I am aiming for 2012 batch at any cost.
I basically have 5 queries:
I would really appreciate if someone could answer my queries patiently bcoz I have penned down a vast number of my doubts
1) Will a career gap of 1 to 1.5 yrs impact on my admission in a good MBA college like ISB,SPJain,IIM?s .
2) As presently I am at home and I have all the time in the world to take up my GMAT seriously .Will 3 months of intense preparation be enough to crack a gmat for a score of 700.
3) I am not interested in finance or marketing MBA. I basically need a career growth and shift from my current profile (frankly I am bored of coding for so many years) but do not want to make a complete shift by taking a field like HR (want to be in IT industry) .Could any1 suggest a good stream that I can pursue from a good MBA college. I am interested in the profile of a business analyst and supply chain management. But unable to find good colleges which offer these courses
4) I have heard that an MBA from a foreign university costs a lot. I hail from a very middle class family and cannot afford a fee of 15-20 L at all. Will any loans be provided if I try to pursue an MBA from a US university.
5) I am not a part of any NGO. My extracurricular activities involve only swimming ,reading a lol of books and photography. Could any1 suggest what other qualities could I inculcate in me to have an outstanding profile to crack any interview to get into a good MBA college.
Thanking you in advance !
Regards,
Pallavi
