To be very honest I am quite confused about my MBA Specialization, but I dont wan't to go for Entreprenuership or Finance. Marketing or General MBA is what I am inclined towards
I need to shortlist the above into 5 schools. I also need your expert help in the same.
Also, as mentioned above, I only have 15 years of education in India, whereas many schools require 16 years of education. I am currently pursuing PGDMM Distance Learning Course from IMT Ghaziabad for this purpose. But my first sem exams will take place in Dec and results will come after the R2 deadlines. I will graduate this in July or August 2015. What is your take on this?
Looking forward to the replies in this thread.
Thanks for reading through a wall of text.
