Anonymous: My daughter has a bachelor's degree in business management from Mumbai.
For the last four years, she has been working as an analyst with a multinational bank. She wants to pursue a master's degree in business administration (part-time/online).
Which are the good institutes?
What are the job prospects after MBA and what salary can she expect?
There is not much scope after doing a part-time or online master's in business administration (MBA) degree unless she is looking for a promotion in her company or she has good, relevant work experience for a new job.
If possible, it is better to do a one-year executive MBA after writing the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT).
Only if that is not possible should she look at the options of doing a part-time or online master of business administration.
For a part-time master of business administration, the Jamnalal Bajaj Institute of Management Studies is the best option in Mumbai.
Girish: Hi, my son is in class 12 commerce and wants to pursue his bachelor's course in Germany.
I approached the WHU -- Otto Beisheim School of Management in Vallendar, Germany.
Upon submission of his documents, we were told that he has to complete 13 years of education to qualify for the bachelor's programme.
Is this the criteria across all colleges in Germany?
What would you suggest we should do in such a case?
Thirteen years of education is mandatory for applying to colleges in Germany.
You may have to attend a one-year foundation course in Germany.
He should also try to become proficient in the German language during this period. It will help him in getting a scholarship for the course.
