I am a post graduate in Life sciences with 6 years of experience in sales & marketing of pharmaceutical machinery & microbiology automation products. Will a one year MBA enhance my career opportunities as compared to the various diploma/certificate programs available. Should i consider a GMAT or CAT? I am looking to pursue my MBA in the year 2017-18. Can you throw some light on the universities in India & Asia along with their pre requisites. On the academic front i am average with a consistent 65% right from class X to Msc Biotech. Will this have a major impact on my chances of enrolling into a good b school? What should be an ideal GMAT score for my profile?
Detailed guidance will be appreciated.

Hi Nutan,

GMAT is the best option for you. Check out ISB, IIMA-PGPX, NUS, INSEAD etc. Life sciences is a great industry to be part of - if you can secure a strong GMAT score then you will be eligible for all these programs. Since you've 6 years of experience already, it would be better to aim to start the program in 2016.

I invite you to try our 100% free Admissions Chances Calculator (https://www.aringo.com/MBA_admission_cha ... ulator.htm) for a detailed analysis of your chances of admission that will pinpoint areas of both strengths and weaknesses in your portfolio.

Best of luck!
