Hi, You firstly should decide if you really need to do an MBA. Believe me, doing MBA is a tough thing. The studies, projects, work, syllabus etc. will take your good enough time from you. I would suggest that you gain some work experience in corporate, for couple of years, it will help you understand MBA studies better in terms of subjects taught. Age is also an important factor to decide on the right time for MBA. You can consider executive MBA program rather. If you just graduated, you have no professional experience. It would be more meaningful to have at least 2 to 3 years of work experience after your undergrad degree and before starting MBA. Do ask this question from yourself, does MBA fit into my life? What if I already have a great job? What if I have a family to feed? What if I have a huge debt? There are many people who are successful even without doing an MBA. Doing MBA is not a must to everyone. There won't be much difference in quality of your life with or without a MBA degree. So as per me, one should decide about doing MBA after some work experience in order to learn more quickly.

I would suggest that after getting an experience of year pursuing MBA would be a good choice. That will add value to you and helps you to learn things in a better way. You’ll understand the business term better and how they practically work. Management studies become more interesting for you and of course it will also help you in getting better placements.

There is no definite answer to this question. It depends on the individual and his/her interest. You can pursue MBA right after your graduation if you want to be done with your studies at a stretch. It will be easy for you to study in this case as you have not lost touch of studies. Whereas, joining after gaining some years of work experience is also good. This is when people generally make up their mind as to what they really want to pursue. You will have a better clarity about things. You will know how the corporate sector functions and what do they expect from you? You will be able to apply this experience to your study program. You will also be able to relate the theoretical aspects of your studies to your work experience, but you may find it a bit hard to get the flow of studies once again. This will get better with time.

see what happens is when you go for general MBA it's more like a open door for all specializations. you can learn basic knowledge from everything. you can either learn HR , Marketing or Finance. Instead of just taking up a certain stream right from the first semester itself. and basically job opportunity are equivalent to everyone. be it general MBA or a normal MBA with stream. there are many Colleges to complete MBA. like we have Pumba in Pune. it's cuttoff is 98+ percentile and is generally consider to be the most sought after institute after JBIMS Mumbai and Symbiosis Pune. it has best Placement in terms of marketing and finance. for HR specific we have Scmhrd Hinjewadi. all in all it's your decision to choose for an MBA and it's specialization. but make sure you make a lot of learning in those 2 years. because they are going to be very fruitful all your life. thanks.

Actually, there is no right or wrong time to pursue MBA. It just depends on the candidate's interest and ability that which way and which time he wants to go further. Their are generally two times when an individual can go for MBA (Regular mode/) First is fresh out of college -If you have completed your graduation the same year you want to pursue your MBA then you can go after giving the exams CAT, XAT, MAT, NMAT, MHCET, etc. You will get the same faculty, same infrastructure, same research material, same placement but the only thing that will vary will be the real-time experience which an experienced candidate had. But you are a fresher and you cannot negotiate on you salary whereas the candidate with experience can negotiate on the same. But, there are different perspectives that decide whether the candidate should go or not. If you are earning a good package after your graduation and have completed 3-4 years of job and you are in a good position then you might not wish to pursue MBA in regular mode instead you will prefer doing it via distance mode. So, it depends on the time factor, the conditions and interest also. All the best!

The right time to go for MBA depends upon person to person. But as per my personal experience I favor MBA should be pursued after some kind of professional experience in an industry. I am saying this because when you work in an industry you get to know about how an industry works and its related field. So when you join a MBA course, subjects taught in that curriculum are linked to industries and a person with professional background would be relate to it much faster than a fresher so MBA must be done after some experience. Should it be done after 2 years of experience or 5 years or 10 years is totally a subjective choice and depends on person to person. But 2 years of experience is considered good in the market for MBA graduates. Experience gives them a negotiable position when they sit for placements.
