I am an indian
12th - 91%
Grad - DU - Bcom hons - 71%
GMAT - 700
Volunteering - 3 years + in environmental conservation and rural kids education
Work ex - 1.5 years - Audit EY
7 months - Startup - Business strategy
i switched to the startup because my interest developed in the field of management consulting and I want to upskill in the same.
Mannheim is top ranked and its cirriculum is wholesome. Its subjects are aligned with my interests and would help me develop skills for the industry.
Hi,
Thank you for sharing the details. There is no rule which says that the commerce background people cannot go or difficult for them to go into management consulting. If I consider your research to be correct and your goal is clear, then you are on the right track to go into Mannheim. You have a good GMAT score, experience in a big firm which make good chances. Remember to check the placement records of your school in consulting and try to connect with alumni. Also, you will need German in the future, so start early in taking it up.

Hi

I am considering to apply to MIM programs in Germany. specially Mannheim. I am an Indian student with a bachelors in commerce, I have 2 years of work experience with EY .

I wanted to know about the job prospects for commerce students in Germany, I know its great for people from tech backgrounds, but how about people from commerce background who want to go into Management consulting ?

Thankyou !

Hi GMATAA0000, I can see where you are getting the idea of Germany being great for Tech profiles - It has been a while since Germany has carved a niche for itself for MS programs , however there are major schools like WHU, HHL and Mannheim who are making a name for the MSc programs as well.
Here are some pointers on how to proceed ahead:

1. Getting into Management Consulting in Germany
As far as management consulting goes, Consulting is one of the major sector that MiM applicants get placed in for most of the major schools. The Tier-1 consulting companies will be recruiting from Germany's top schools, so if you target the prominent ones, you will get the network of the major consulting brands.
The top 3 of Germany are WHU-HHL-Mannheim followed by Frankfurt and ESMT.

Also note that, Consulting is a client-side profile so learning German is necessary.

2. Profile Evaluation:
You have a pretty good profile - Work Ex, GMAT look good. GPA is fair enough.
However, Mannheim is a public university so there is bound to be some stiff competition. Make sure that you are judicious about how your are highlighting your profile strengths.We have analyzed the profiles of applicants selected for Mannheim's MiM program and have designed an algorithm where we can gauge the your selection chances in Mannheim by assigning you a profile score.
To access your profile score and subsequently gauge your chances at Mannheim, you can take up a profile evaluation here: https://www.mim-essay.com/profile-evaluation?gmat-pe

Hope this helped, Good Luck!
