Don’t Apply for an MBA| PGDM Without Knowing These!
Before you jump in, ask yourself, do I really know what I’m signing up for?
Most students apply for an MBA thinking it leads to a high-paying job or social status. But an MBA is not about taking shortcuts. It’s about a choice that requires awareness, planning, and attitude. This guide will demonstrate to you the four things you need to realize before deciding on an MBA | PGDM course — based on actual insights, student feedback, and today’s industry demands.
“Your career is not built on hype but on the choices you make today.”
1. Why Settle for One Specialization When You Can Do Two?
Situation: You’re not sure if you should accept marketing or finance—both seem promising, and you don’t want to regret it.
Reality: Several business schools, including Terna Global Business School (TGBS), provide two specializations through the same program. That implies that you could study two disciplines through the same course, e.g., marketing and business analytics or HR and finance.
“The future belongs to those who are flexible, not fixated.”
Why this Matters:
You gain competence in two fields.
It presents more opportunities to your future self.
You remain up to speed in today’s rapidly transforming workplace.
2. You Don’t Need to Score 90% to Be Successful
Situation: You are nervous because you did not score well on entrance exams.
Reality: Your marks don’t determine your potential. Nowadays, B-schools and recruiters seek skills — not scores. If you are good at communication, leadership, teamwork, Excel, and data analysis, you already possess what it takes.
“Success in life is not about marks in exams, but the marks you leave behind.”
Focus On:
Personality development
Practical skills like Excel and presentations
Real-world problem solving
3. Online MBA May Not Provide the Career Boost You Hope
Situation: You’re considering pursuing an online MBA since it’s less expensive and easier to fit into your schedule.
“Degrees can be downloaded. Experience must be lived.”
Reality: Although online courses are useful, they don’t provide the hands-on experience and actual networking opportunities that offline MBAs do. The majority of top recruiters continue to prefer students from full-time, offline MBA programs since they:
Engage with classmates and mentors.
Participate in internships and live projects.
Gain confidence through group discussions and presentations.
4. You Deserve the Right Guidance, Not Simply a Nice Name College
Situation: You are lost between colleges, driven by commercials or rank.
“The right guidance at the right time can change your life path forever.”
Reality: All colleges are going to pledge placements and a rosy career. What you actually require is guidance and counseling. Talk with seniors, undergo counseling webinars, and have contact with alumni. Ask them the difficult queries:
What are the recruiters saying?
What kind of internships are offered?
How strong is the mentorship?
Final Thoughts
Pursuing an MBA | PGDM is more than a career change — it’s an investment in your life. Don’t invest your time, effort, and money without knowing what you are getting yourself into. The more you know at this point, the better your decisions will be in the future.
“Don’t choose a course to escape confusion. Choose it because it aligns with who you want to become.”
