For a long time, the dream of a foreign MBA was seen as a luxury reserved for the “crorepati” club. The logic was simple: if your family didn’t have a massive bungalow to put up as collateral or a dormant eight-figure savings account, a degree from Harvard, INSEAD, or Rotman was out of reach. But …
The economic landscape of 2026 has been defined by one word: Uncertainty. With hiring freezes in big tech and traditional consulting firms being more selective than ever, the “standard” MBA job hunt no longer works. However, as the recent rankings show—with IIM Ahmedabad beating Harvard in career progress—the right strategy can lead to explosive growth …
In a seismic shift for global business education, the 2025–2026 admissions cycle has revealed a new reality: the “old guard” of the Ivy League is no longer the undisputed king of career advancement. According to the latest Financial Times Global MBA Rankings, the Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad (IIMA) has officially claimed the #1 spot …
The landscape of MBA admissions has shifted dramatically. Gone are the days when the GMAT was the only “serious” exam for business school. In 2026, the GRE (Graduate Record Examination) is not just accepted—it is embraced by almost every elite institution across the globe. Whether you are a “poet” coming from a liberal arts background …
The traditional “Golden Path” for MBA graduates—landing a plum role at a top-tier consulting firm or a bulge-bracket bank—is no longer the only way to the top. In 2026, a new wave of ambitious graduates is choosing a radically different route: Entrepreneurship Through Acquisition (ETA). Instead of climbing the corporate ladder for 15 years, they …
For most Indian students, the excitement is quickly met with a reality check: the cost of a premier MBA (inclusive of tuition, books, and living expenses) can easily range from ₹25 Lakhs to ₹45 Lakhs for top Indian programs, and north of ₹1.5 Crores for international M7 schools. If your scholarship offer feels light, remember: …
In the world of elite business schools, two titans dominate the recruiting landscape: Management Consulting and Product Management (PM). Both offer six-figure starting salaries, prestigious brand names, and a seat at the table where big decisions are made. But here is the truth that recruiters won’t always tell you: These roles require fundamentally different personality …
It’s the question that haunts B-school forums and keeps prospective applicants awake at night. You’re 31, 33, perhaps even 36. You’ve built a solid career, managed teams, and weathered professional storms. But you feel the itch for a major pivot, or you’ve hit a ceiling that only a top-tier degree can shatter. Then the doubt …
It’s decision day. You refresh your inbox, heart pounding. The subject line pops up: “An Update on Your MBA Application.” You click. Your eyes scan past the pleasantries until they hit the crucial paragraph. It’s not congratulations. But it’s also not the dreaded “we regret to inform you.” It’s the waitlist. Admissions purgatory. For high-achieving …

If you talk to students who have successfully transitioned into global finance roles, you’ll notice something interesting: very few of them relied only on a traditional commerce degree. The ones who grew fastest—those who landed roles in Big Four teams, GCCs, or US CPA firms—always had one thing in common: they understood US accounting and …
The global accounting landscape is shifting rapidly, and this change is opening doors for Indian commerce graduates like never before. The United States is currently facing a steep decline in its accounting workforce—down to about 1.78 million professionals by 2024, nearly 10% fewer than a few years prior.
