Actually I am in final year of BTECH course and I got this idea to this course recently.So I am gathering all information .I had interest to do finance or economic in my undergrad but due to few reasons i I could not.

the point is to be able to justify your answer through your essays, interviews and so on. There's no preference of one over the other especially if you're talking about pivots. However, it should be reasonable and you should be employable. for eg, it can't be too drastic like going from let's say HR to private equity bcus that'll raise eyebrows

Does anyone know if HEC accepts a recommendation letter from outside of professional work, like co-curriculars?
Hello

For HEC (and most top schools), it’s strongly recommended to take recommendation letters from either professional supervisors or academic referees. If you’re applying for the MBA and happen to run your own business or work in a family business, schools do understand in such cases, a recommendation from a client, supplier, or business partner is perfectly acceptable and often works well.


At UniAdvise, 100% of our students have secured admits to their top 4 choices, including 20+ to HEC in recent intakes. If you’d like us to evaluate your profile and guide you on choosing the strongest recommenders for your application, you can book a free consultation here: https://lnkd.in/gRF5gikA

Regards,
Team UniAdvise

Hi Jasmin
It’s not choosing between A and B

You have to find a balance between A and B both and showcase your clear path to career goal through achieving A and B both.

MBA from HEC is not for tunneled vision, it to being the best out in candidates who are the best.

Don’t oversell what you want to achieve after MBA, then then what is is that you want to acquire during MBA and how will that help you achieve that you desire. 🙂

Guys, for referral...do the people get a link or pdf in their email? My referrals just told they don't have external e-mail access as they are in banking, but if it's link it might be on.

Jas1 - Around 25-30% of the HEC MBA class each year does a triple jump i.e. changing industry, function and geography.

So which career path to target really depends on your experiences so far, transferable skills, how the MBA will help bridge gaps, and alignment to the school's post-MBA career opportunities. While being too ambitious (or unrealistic) can hurt, playing it too safe could hurt too - by raising the question of 'why MBA'.

Pivoting to consulting could work, but make sure to leverage your HR experiences as the foundation that makes you a valuable future consultant. Clearly link any strategic, data-driven, or change management aspects of your HR role to core consulting skills. Finally, your post-MBA goals need to be specific and realistic - name some target firms/ geographies and explain exactly what you want to do, etc.

In short, a clear and well-justified pivot makes a much stronger profile than a vague plan to gain global experience in your current role.

Consider this as high-level advice: the specific details of career paths to consider and what angle to pitch in the application will depend on a deep-dive into your profile, preferences and ambitions.
