Hi - am an applicant from India and keen to apply for the MBA 2021 class. I have heard that ESMT maintains a good diversity and due to this, they have a limited slots available for India. Has anyone yet got through ESMT and has accepted the admission. Also, any guidance here will be great.

Hi All,
I am considering the ESMT Jan 21 intake. I have a couple of questions though. I have studied and worked in Germany for about 3.5-4 years and found language a major issue with job application during my time there. It was however an engineering role. How is it w.r.t. post MBA roles. Highly appreciate your response

Hi RamIyer29,

Glad you reached out!

Knowing a vernacular language DOMINANTLY boosts the chances of employment, job prospects and networking opportunities since post MBA, one needs to interact and address clients and teams.
Furthermore, the language becomes even more vital if one is targeting to venture into consulting or people-centric prospects.

This scenario is prevalent to almost any good B-school in a developed country in Europe such as Dutch for Rotterdam School of Management in the Netherlands; Spanish for IE Spain, IESE; French for HEC Paris, INSEAD; German for ESMT, WHU, Mannheim, FSFM; Irish for UCD Ireland; Swiss German for IMD Switzerland, University of St. Gallen. etc

Besides, the repercussions of COVID have affected the possible opportunities, exposing the infrastructure and know-how in various industries.

However, the alumni network, career services, geographic location( It matters! ) and career fairs assist in excelling the target companies and organizations.
These schools do not have the concept of Day-0, Day-1 placements, but rather they conduct career fairs and workshops to break the ice between aspirants and companies on their campus.

I concur that it's THE pivotal decision: in terms of both time and RoI.
Thus, try to connect with current students, alumni, student services, and admission committee to take a holistic call.

Please find the ESMT MBA Employment report of 2018.

Let me know if you have any queries! :)

That's alright - Feedbacks be it positive or negative are vital in taking the school-selection decision.
The repercussions of COVID have affected the possible opportunities, exposing the infrastructure and know-how in various industries.

However, the alumni network, career services, geographic location( It matters! ) and career fairs assist in excelling the target companies and organizations.
ESMT does not have the concept of Day-0, Day-1 placements, but rather it conducts career fairs and workshops to break the ice between aspirants and companies on its campus.

I concur that it's THE pivotal decision: in terms of both time and RoI.
Do connect with current students, alumni, student services, and admission committee through LinkedIn to take a holistic call.

Hi Pr3m,

Glad you reached out!

Usually, one will receive a payment confirmation within 48 working hours.
Since it's the Easter holidays, timelines would affect a little.

Furthermore, after the payment confirmation, the portal updates with your submissions.
I'll suggest reach out to AdCom if you still face issues after 1 week.

Folks from India planning to apply for ESMT Jan 2022 intake - Save yourself some time and talk to the adcom before working on your application (ESMT took me the most time with 6 essays). ESMT has filled all seats for Indian students.
