[@kevinvjacob4715]

Hi Akshat , it would be much helpful if you could do a video on an mba from Europe considering that they have relaxed the stay back.

[@anmolshankar]

Hi Akshat Your videos are always very insightful and gives a new perspective. This is Anmol Shankar alumni of IIM Kashipur (Batch 16-18). I am your subscriber and regular follower on KZbin. I have shared my interest for GMAT demo clas and has posted some queries on gmat via Contact Us section of gmatcaseovercoffee. However, it has been a while and I haven't received any confirmation or response on my queries. Request for your inputs on below mentioned points 1) Commencement Date for next GMAT boot camp 2) Type of materials and resources shared for self study and preparation 3) Post GMAT support in terms of college selection, essay writing and interview preparation I look forward to kick start my GMAT preparation very soon under your team's guidance.

[@jahnnobirahman5894]

Hello Mr Akshat, Could you please do a video on where to go and practise this 1000 cases that you solved, and like how one should effectively solve a case specially interviewing for companies like BCG or Dalberg. Thanks so much.

[@dpnr90]

This is about your last point. At what point in the MBA ranking, does a school become average school? If you can do a video on what schools are worth doing an MBA in, that would be helpful!

[@-SiddharthaChappidi]

sir please make a video on is it worthy to do an mba after ms

[@ryanfernandez9022]

Would love to hear your thoughts on Indian MBA landscape and it's value compared to top foreign B schools (locally and abroad).

[@jyotisen6283]

yes an Indian MBA vs Foreign MBA video would be v helpful!

[@aditigupta1473]

He mentioned that doing MBA from an average college canbe detrimental. So an MBA from a prestigious institution anywhere around the world might have the same value imo

[@gokulraj4490]

Already he did..

[@yashhemrajani5608]

​@@aditigupta1473no if you are doing an mba in india in iim the alumi network, research based , curriculum, and many more things are different from any top clgs like Wharton , hec , stanford, harvard because in these colleges the alumi network, the email power of these colleges, brand value, research based, curriculum, and many more things they give you alot of advantages to do an mba from a top colleges that's why those colleges are in top and except IIM

This is a very useful video Akshat that sets straight a lot of things for MBA aspirants like me. It would be really useful and interesting if you compare INSEAD with US M3 B-Schools, specially STANFORD, looking forward to the video. Keep doing the awesome work.

[@AkshatZayn]

Thanks Ravi :) Sure will try to cover the comparisons

[@ChatANIRBAN]

Would love to hear your thoughts on one-year vs. two-year MBA programmes. It appears the former is more prevalent in Europe, while the latter is common in the USA. Also, with European MBA programmes, recruiting is split across countries e.g. UK, Germany, France etc Any drawbacks to this compared to the US programmes where you'd be looking at opportunities within one country.

[@divyagolyan]

This is the 7th video on my ongoing research for whether I should do an MBA or not, and this is the BEST one so far in all the top-watched videos. Thank you so much Akshat for this unbiased and comprehensive take on the MBA degree. Keep making an amazing impact!

[@christopherdaniel3712]

Hi Akshat, thank you for sharing your opinion. I'm glad you have an unbiased & practical view of things. I'd request you to also talk about the Blended Learning MBA programmes and compare them with Offline & Online MBAs to bust some myths. Working professionals like me can't quit our jobs but also want to taste the campus life a tad bit. For eg. IIMA offers ePGP - 5 weeks on campus and the remaining classes in VCNow centers in multiple cities. On the other hand, IIMB offers 2yr weekend program but all classes are on-campus and thus not feasible for non-Bangaloreans. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.

[@chigstonn]

Hey Akshat! This video was really insightful as I was struggling to find reasons not to do an online MBA as compared to on campus MBA. Also, I would love to hear your perspective on the difference between MBA from ISB and IIMs. Thanks a lot! Keep on the good work :)

After following the channel so closely, I feel after few more months; I would be introducing myself as an alumni of your KZbin channel. Similar, to how an INSEAD alumni would introduce himself/herself to you 😀. Jokes apart, great content. With your content, I am also picking on how to present my data better and effectively. Thanks 🙂

[@atulpol]

How would you rate Indian one year MBA programs like ISB, IIM programs.. compared to global counterparts like INSEAD, Oxford Said, Judge etc?

[@yashhemrajani5608]

Isb is having a good mba program but the main thing is curriculum difference , alumi network, and nationalities difference because In isb you only see indian students and Indian teacher around the college and in isb there are very few companies come for foreign placements but on the other hand if you join these top colleges like insead , lbs , stanford , harvard , Wharton then there are more than 80 nationalities students study there from different nationalities then you make different type of network and you will see what type of knowledge and information they have and different ideas and different perspectives they have that matters alot and the brand value also and the curriculum isb uses the curriculum that made by them- harvard and stanford, knowledge also matters

You are not eligible bro for executive mba in those top colleges harvard , stanford , Wharton , insead , hec Paris, and many foreign top colleges considered above 8 years of experience as a full time job only iim will give you admission after 3 to 4 years of work experience but you have chance to go for full time mba but not executive in foreign because iim executive mba eligibility is they want 3 to 4 years of experience and your gmat score

Hi Akshat, The content was great and it gave me a lot of clarity personally. Few things I would like to see in next videos : 1. One year MBA in India (ISB/IIM A/IIM B) 2. Indian MBA with international MBA - Please include how much class size matters. Eg - (Huge class size means better networking but it leads to more competition) 3. In terms of ROI, if someone's average salary is already same as the Bschool average salary should the person go for an MBA at that moment or push it to next 3-4 year 4. How easy or tough to move to Consulting/PM role coming from a tech background ?? In these kind of scenario should someone try for for IJP or go for MBA.
