MBA Article: MBA losing its Pride??? - Part 2

Here comes the PART 2 in continuation to PART 1 of MBA Article series (MBA Losing its pride??? by Avirup Ghosh)

COOL LIFE STYLE
We are the young blood of the country. History says, it is that portion of the society who are always there for the betterment of the society, but still is it the same or is it now a myth? No, its not a myth, still there are lots of youth who are responsible for India’s growth, but due to huge growth of population, the good ones and the bad ones both are coming out in a massive quantity. Our problem consists with in that group of disturbing elements among the youth. Now let try to relate those guys with MBA.
What’s the picture comes in mind when we think of an MBA grad......its almost like smart, knowledgeable, punctual, little bit of serious..........If you are thinking like that then I will must say, ha ha ha. Just follow the routine of an MBA.....
09 am : good morning
10 am : always late in college ( but have to go, actually girlfriend/boyfriend is waiting )
10-5 pm : canteen.........park.......theater
after 5 pm to mid night : busy with mobile & chatting in orkut, face book, music, totally party mood......
Not only in MBA, this is the modern take over education by some super intellectual (!!!!!!!) students. These unwanted children are the real culprit of diminishing the value of education, and in MBA, just don’t ask. Then why they are here? How they are getting the open door? Its simple, if you have bucks in your pocket anything can happen, that’s our system. There are lots of MBA institutes where money is the only admission criterion, capability is ony the secondary thing. Once I went to try my luck in a well known institute of NCR, and I informed the director of that institute, “ sir, my graduation percentage is not up to the mark......”, he just stooped me and replied, “ my dear son, next time when you will come, bring with you 6.5 lacs, I am ensuring you there will be no percentage issue......”, don’t get shocked, this is also MBA.


BLAMING OTHERS ISN’T THE SOLUTION FOR STUDENTS
Its a very tough situation for an MBA holder who is not able to find a good job. So, now days a new fashion is introduced, “blaming management.” But the students also have to think and look inside first before blaming others. I am also doing my MBA and I know well what’s the psychology of a huge portion of modern students, just ask them why you have joined MBA and you will find the blank faces of them, just thinking and thinking, they have no proper goal, aim, for them its like a two years time pass.........there is not any other thing to do that's why they are here.........some guys’ girl friends are doing MBA, that's why they too........it sounds funny, but that’s the crude reality. I am not telling all are the same, but due to those ‘intruders’, MBA is now losing its pride. Those guys don't know how to behave, how to speak, what’s going on in the industry, and the worst thing is that they are also not interested to work on those flaws. Instead of that these are the guys who shout most for the job, ‘this is not good’, ‘this is a low profile’, etc etc........my dear friend, show your worth first, then only claim. Blaming others can’t be a solution but a trick to run away from the situation.

EDUCATION MUST BE FUNDAMENTAL RIGHT BUT MBA ? ? ?
Education is now the fundamental right of each and every Indian under the age group of 6 to 14, it’s the only way which can take our country ahead. In a country like India of more than 100 cores of population, we have 480 universities and 22000 colleges, and still only 12.4% are involved themselves in higher education. Indian govt. is now in a mission to increase that percentage to 30 and for that 800 universities and 35000 colleges are needed. Its really a great move, more education means more mature thinking. But it doesn’t mean every course should be for all, if we talk about fundamental or basic education, there must be no issues, but when it comes to the specialization then that should be restricted only for specialist. If we place anyone in the field of science and research, that would be the waste of resources and it also affects the quality of that field. Similarly MBA shouldn’t be for anyone and the quality of this field should not be compromised by money, I am not against business but there must be certain things to look at, aiming towards the short term profit, ultimately we are going to loose massively in the long journey. Its better to be a simple graduate rather than an unsuccessful MBA and that is why the sudden frustration arises among the MBA aspirants. Its not due the recession, its not due to the global economical debacle, yes, its true that the market is affected hugely due to it, but still you will find, huge amount of guys are doing well, getting great jobs.........and the main reason behind it is, ‘they are the real MBA’, they have the quality to keep that degree into their kitty.......you will never see those guys are crying for anything and everything, because they know well that they deserve it and the rest of all are as like as a poet who is sent to the battle field. In spite of being an MBA I will still say, there are lots of flaws among us, we need to rectify it first, as for blaming, it could be done after that.
I want to wrap up this article with a question, Mr. Mukesh Ambani is an MBA and me too, “don’t you think, I am reducing the glory of MBA?” I am requesting all the MBA aspirants, just ask yourself the same question once........remember it is we who can bring the change.
