    1. Which specialization is the best in MBA?

    1. Is it necessary to appear for an entrance test before getting admission to any MBA university? 

    Ans: Yes. Appearing for entrance examination is a must to get admission to top-tier MBA institutes. Although there are some colleges or universities that do not conduct or require any entrance examination, it is advisable that you do not apply to those colleges as the degree provided by them, will most probably not be of much value. 

    1. What is the course duration of an MBA degree? 

    Ans: An MBA is a two-year postgraduate program that is divided into four semesters. The summer internship is also provided in the first year. 

    1. What stream should I opt for in a school for studying MBA? 

    Ans: You can opt for any stream in your plus two, be it Arts, Commerce, or Science. Pursuing an MBA degree does not restrict students to apply to any one of the streams mentioned above in their plus two. You can opt for any one of them as per your wish. 

    1. Do colleges and universities provide placement after completion of an MBA? 

    Ans: Most colleges grant placements to their students after the completion of their two-year postgraduate degree. But in some universities, you need to find a job yourself and give interviews accordingly. For better clarification, check the placement record of the college you are willing to get admission in, and whether they have a placement cell. 

    1. Are the entrance examinations of MBA to be conducted in an offline or online mode? 

    Ans: All the entrance examinations that you need to appear for, to get admission in MBA institutes are conducted online.

You need to arrive at the test center at a stipulated time and give the exam via the computer. 

    1. Can I opt for an MBA directly after completing my plus two? 

    Ans: Yes, you can opt for an MBA degree after passing out from a recognized board or any equivalent in your plus two with a minimum of 50% marks or above. This will be a 5-year integrated course and will even cover some undergraduate subjects like B.Tech. 

    1. What is the minimum cut-off for CAT?

    Ans: If you are appearing for CAT or any other MBA entrance examination, make sure that you have a percentile of 90% and above because getting into the top MBA universities will be quite difficult if your rank is lower. Prepare as early as possible. Also, your 10th and 12th academic results should be equally good, and you must fare well in the GD-PI and written and verbal ability test.

    1. What are the skills required to pursue an MBA degree?
