Do Professional Certs help in boosting MBA Profiles in India 02 Jul 2019, 10:46

Hi - while certifications can enhance the academic part of your profile, I don't think it makes a very significant difference. Similarly, foreign languages are good to have but regarding international exposure, programs like to see that you've studied or worked abroad. If you haven't taken GMAT already, I would focus your energies on that and attain as high a score as possible.

Hi,
I am an engineering grad working as Manager - IT Security in an Indian Govt. Bank for last 8+ years.
As of now, I am having a couple of Professional Certs like: CCNA, PRINCE2 Foundation and Practitioner.
Being in a Govt Bank, I don't have any foreign exposure.
I am eyeing for Indian B-Schools like IIMs, ISB, XLRI etc for a Career in FINTECH Consulting, Project Management.

My Question is - "Do Professional Certs like PMP,Certified Scrum Master,CEH, CISSP etc, help to boost MBA Profiles ?"
Secondly, having no foreign exposure should I learn a foreign language like Spanish, French maybe. Will that help ??
If Yes, then which one is more preferred by B-Schools?

I have roughly 60 days to enhance my profile.
I humbly seek a clear guidance in the area as all such new Certs or foreign language training will cost money and more over precious time.

Warm Regards,
Mohit Ranjan
