I haven't took gmat as of yet coz i have just passed from my engineering '13 batch but still i can say that i will be able to achieve a decent gmat score when i submit my application for the mba programs after two years of work experience.
I presently have two options to either join an ecommerce based startup where I'd be into corporate sales. What i feel is that if i have to do an mba , and I am definitely sure that one day i am going to be in it , either in india or abroad , I don't know ; only time will tell and i am hellbent to select my majors in marketing and sales. so why not join a start up , where i wud have immense opportunities for learning. But i am skeptical about it , coz it does not guarantee job security and future prospects. Because the company does not has a brand name as of now and it will take some time for it to grow up high on the mast , if it does . ? … ?
the second option is to join an IT company and be there in a bandwagon of IT engineers and then apply for gmat/cat xat ... , eetc. I would please request you to go through my profile and suggest me what could be the best option for me if i want to take an mba program preferably in Canada or Singapore of what little I know ( bcoz the cost benefit ratio seems good )
Moreover If i am not granted any a scholarship or anything like that , then the last option is to take a loan from any of the nationalized banks in India. Does it requires a collateral for 15-20 Lakh INR ? Coz if it does my dreams of being there , traveling around the world and be settled in of of the 1st quarter countries will be shattered and smashed onto the grounds. I believe that the cost of an mba is 15-20 Lakh INR if I select NUS singpore amongst my target bschools. is it true ? (One guy in a blog said that the cost of an mba from nus wud be 1/5th of the cost of an mba from us. )

Have organised events both gargantuan and specks carrying an audience of more than 3000 and as small as a bunch of people of 250 guys inside an auditorium. Have lead a group of 250 people , all musicians , and gave them an opportunity to come and play in the auditorium , convince the management to fund for it , refusal , it took almost 2 years to finalize and today there is a concept that on every 4th friday of each month there are musicians playing in the auditoriium ,fr themselves , fr the love of music , fr the love of brotherhood which started in 2012 and is still continuing and today the FRIDAY ACOUSTIC NIGHTS is something everyone waits for.
