Sorry to say but 86.4 percentile is nothing spectacular, not even good. :(

It becomes spectacular when you go without even touching a single book and without any coaching

Well I have learnt in my life never to brag about scoring mediocre scores without studies. If I score less, I SCORE LESS, doesn't matter I studied 24 hr or never.

Your "thinking" won't get you to your dream/destination.

Times are different now so we cannot compare first package we got 5 years back to now. I know 5 lakhs still is a good package for a fresher , but after doing a MBA 5 lakhs is not a great package considering the fact you can study another year and get in better college paying you around 8-12 lpa.

Its about time we get realistic , IIM is certainly achievable but not easy considering fact they check academics as well (i have heard people with 99.2% did not get call from top IIM's due to their academics) , but even if u get in any top 20-30 collegs a package of 7-9 lpa is guaranteed maybe you can aim for that.

The standard of maths was low ...not as high as 11-12th

It was class 10th maths ...but was a tricky one ...

So since i dont have maths,Will MAT,Gmat,Cat be easy for me to get into IIM?
If your can go out of Delhi,Try ISB even they are good.But stay away From IIPM.

and cat is the toughest ....the english in cat was like a different language to me

Dude,I know times are different.
That 2.5 lake package I got was after completion of MD from one of the top medical college in India.

How much do you expect to earn as a fresher after MBA?

Yeah, 10 lakh is just too much.

@red dragon
I have no idea about dentistry field and comparing salary of a degree like engg etc with MBA is not exactly right with the current scenario.

The avg salary paid to fresh normal engg graduates itself is in tune of 3.5-4 lpa by some top to medium IT companies .
90% of engineers go to do a MBA to move into management early and get a better Package . The bare avg(companies can offer lower or higher) package being 7-8 lpa . Atleast that what compaines coming in top 25 colleges in India offer from what i have heard.

^90% ? Correct your stats.

And if you graduate from pvt college, its very tough to get a 4+ package.

MBA after experience helps a lot, as a fresher it won't fetch you double figure or even 7-8 lakh packages if again you're from a non reputed college.

Some rather clueless comments here.

Bare average 7-8L? No wonder so many crappy MBA colleges are opening up to take advantage of this delusion.

As for 90% engineers doing MBA Even if it were true that's only because 90% engineeers are clueless idiots who don't even have ability to understand the very basics of science.
I'll throw you another stat. 90% MBAs = Glorified Salesman. Enjoy your periodic targets and try to sugar coat your voice while trying to sell insurance or mutual funds. :lol:

Don't think about packages at this age, but only about building your career. :)

Everything depends on the college your manage to get into, your performances in placements/interviews, just like for any other career.

At this age, it is nothing to worry about, Boards are your only priority.

Actually i cannot waste another year and bimtech and ndim provide pgdm while amity gives mba
Can any one explain me which is better mba or pgdm
ssk_the_gr8
Mar 8, 2012 at 11:43 PM
mba is better as it's a degree, pgdm is diploma but in the end it does not matter

both are equivalent
IIM's offer PGDM... so dont worry about PGDM and MBA

well these days freshers do get paid well..in our college around 15% ppl got offers above 6.5LPA.. but I never thought people can take that as a base for a career path...

PS: I am just a BE student...
