Sage advice: T. Ephraim, director, IMS Learning Resources Limited, Vijayawada, addressing students of P.B. Siddhartha College of Arts and Science in the city on Thursday.

VIJAYAWADA: A student should study MBA to acquire multi-faceted and industry-ready skills so that he or she can land in a high-profile job in a corporate company or a multi-national. Such a spirit aimed at becoming a full-fledged graduate should be cultivated in order to avoid the future possibility of any business management graduate ending up in a relatively smaller job with salary as low as Rs. 5,000 a month and even less.

“BBM students should get ready for this challenge. They should aim at cracking CAT and try to enter top business schools in the country. There are many local students doing well in Bangalore and Mumbai B-schools,” said T. Ephraim, director, IMS Learning Resources Ltd, Vijayawada, on Thursday.

Addressing a “CAT preparatory workshop” held at P.B. Siddhartha College of Arts and Science by The Hindu Education Plus and the IMS, he advised all students of undergraduate management courses to prepare vigorously and work hard for CAT so that it would bring out the real talent in them.

Unpredictable exam

Stating that CAT was an unpredictable examination aimed at selecting the best of Indian young talent for admission into top business schools, Mr. Ephraim said that it would not be so difficult to excel in this test if a student starts studying widely with careful advanced planning and strategy to answer all components of the test.

A “CAT” approach, which involves a thorough homework of concepts, application and test-taking strategies, would be the best way to crack the CAT, which would open the doors for admission into the country's 300 top B-schools.

N. Satyanarayana, Principal, P.B. Siddhartha College of Arts and Science, advised business management students of the college not to neglect pursuing higher studies or good job opportunities for the mere comfort of joining their family businesses in city itself. K. Chandrasekaran, Regional General Manager, The Hindu, and M.V. Ramesh Chandra, Lecturer in Management, P.B. Siddhartha College, also spoke. Stating that such workshops and seminars would give right and better perspectives on emerging trends, they advised students to start early in their search for brighter careers in management by putting greater focus on their overall skill-set.
