Is MBA worth it in 2024? In this video, I try to answer this question along with telling you the reality of MBA from IIM. MBA is popular among people who are looking to get into management roles in premiere organizations after their graduation and some work experience. But should you go for MBA without work experience or not is of little importance when MBA placements are at record low and even IIM Grads are struggling to get placed.
Organizations like IIM Lucknow are using their alumni network strength to place some of the students who could not get placed earlier. This leads to a lot of problems for people who get into MBA because they want to get a good job right after graduating. But the dark reality of mba often remains hidden from the masses. The reality of IIM placements and also the reality of MBA packages is far less shiny than what comes across in the news.
This video will help anyone who is wondering if they should do MBA in 2024 or not. This is not the right time for MBA as far as return on investment is concerned. However, whether MBA is a trap vs not is left to the viewer. MBA can lead to massive education loans which you cannot pay without having a chance at a decent job. If IIMs are struggling to place their graduates, it is obvious that MBA packages or MBA salaries for those who got placed is also going to be lower than others. Hope you find this video valuable, see you in the next one.

Can you again make a video about whether Executive MBA makes sense for people with more than 5 to 10 years of experience ?
When according to you will the markets can go up hence going for an MBA makes sense ? 2025 or 2026.
Sir Can you charge Around Rs 600 to Rs 800 and mentor for around 15 minutes so that job aspirants will get more useful insights related to their career❤(through Video Call)
@@hyderabadeducationandphilan777 I don't get time to do 1-1 mentoring.
There are more than 80+ requests that I need to attend right now & not able to get time to them.
So not taking any more requests
@@PavanSathiraju Understood Sir. thanks for the reply
Studying in Germany and you are on your own to find the job, make connections, apply hundreds of jobs nothing is spoonfeeded here. The University says we are here to give you quality education not a job consultancy company.
Are you studying over there ? If yes can we connect.(Management)
Your videos are an eye opener and give reality check which is much more useful than watching videos talking about 45lpa for freshers in faang and getting false motivation
Finally someone said it!! I completely agree Pavan 💯Great and insightful video like always.
Education and Employability are two different things! Employability has more to with mindset, driven by overall mental well-being. Report shows 18-24 as the most vulnerable and help needing segment across all socio demographic cuts!
MBA had a good run, its finally running out of steam. Surely, India doesnt need 5500 b-schools.
But top IIMS doesn't loose its mark right??
@@saikiran1050they do
@@vishalkanwar2333There is something called Brand, Maybe today Most of see Btech as something that We can easily Got to know through YT. But If someone is from IIT errespect os his Branch Any manager treat him like a Gem.
Doing an MBA from top 40-50 b-schools is going to shape you professionally as well as personally competitive for the market.
Otherwise rest B-schools are a waste of time and money
what's your resume?
Very Valid points. Thanks Pravan
As an IIM alum, I can tell that while the job market fluctuates, the RoI from a good MBA cant be judged by 1st years CTC, its a lot more benefits that you reap in the long term and not just immediately monetary
I completely agree! Hence, wait for a year and then get the degree:)
You will have both short term and long term benefits:)
@@PavanSathiraju so should we do MBA in 2025?
@@parulgunjal same question
@@PavanSathiraju Sir after how much work ex one should go for MBA ? Also how good is Executive MBA?
How is ipmat iim rohtak??
Great insight, To really opt for an MBA degree if are moving from an individual contributor to managerial or leadership roles , Present Market has lot of uncertainties. saving for a rainy day is top priority.
I agree what you said, and certainly an MBA makes sense only for people with some prior experience irrespective of his/her field. I know some of my colleagues who did their MBA (even the IIM) ones right after their UG degree ,got a job and than became clueless once the work pressure and unfamiliarity hit hard. Also given the fact recently the number of amateur jobs have gone down, eg. Even entry level SDE positions now require 3+ yrs of exp for some reason.
Completely!!
I want to do mba from top iims or fms . Considering my acads and situation mentioned below please give me a genuine advise. I m just fed up with struggling in CA and wanted to give my family a happy life which they deserve, i dont want to be a burden on them🙂
Age - 22
10th- 81%
12th- 91%
Grad- 69%
completed my grad(bcom from du sol) in mid 2023 . alongside i m pursuing CA (now thinking to quit CA)
giving CAT 24 is like 1yr gap .
Should i give cat 24 (without work ex and no internships) or take another gap yr for CAT25 (alongwith some internships)?
pls guide me
@@Oswald07 Maybe yes. But most importantly try to find a strong reason so as to why you want to do an MBA and also the specialization that you would like to target. Many people join IIMs for the sake of placements but later on are fired due to wrong expectations or low performance due to immense work pressure (You can see all of them turned as fulltime youtubers ). So choose a background to specialize in and become the best in that, that way you would be able to justify the high package paid by the company and won't feel insecure.
@@darshantawte7435 how do i know which specialization i want to do without actually experiencing that??
my mba reason is i want to know me i.e "what i want to do" as you know mba from iim is a generalised degree means in 1st yr you are exposed to all domain i.e finance/marketing/hr/consulting etc
so i will be able to find which domain is best for me
as you see i am doing CA (finance domain) and after experiencing i know i didn't find myself perfect fit for finance domain as i didn't like finance domain at all.
Also another reason is that i feel that i want to do a successful business in near future
IS THIS A VALID AND STRONG REASON FOR DOING MBA???
Also can you suggest me whether should i directly appear for cat24 or cat24 as a fresher or should i do job and get work experience of like 1-2 yrs then do mba after that???? i m confused 😕
What kind of prior experience is required?? I mean in which role?? Maybe a "Business Analyst" or a SDE related role at IT firms???
1. Top B-schools struggling to place their students: True, the job market is tough right now, but the brand value of IIMs pays off in the long run. Even during COVID, the top IIMs didn't face significant difficulties and are still thriving. Despite lockdowns, SP Jain, IIM l , FMS and many other top B-schools have released placement reports for the current batch, and while there may be a slight decrease in placements, it's still decent enough to kickstart careers, with opportunities for growth in the future.
Also, ISB is the only school charging over 40L in fees, and he only mentions this college as a reference. Mind you, the average fees of any IIM or B-school is around 25L, with an average package of 30L+, so you're still getting better ROI. Plus, you pay fees for 2 years and get a salary for as long as you work, not just for one year, and you also get incremental increases. Furthermore, if you're continuously mentioning the top few colleges of ISB, then mention FMS, which charges only 2L in fees with a 30L+ package. Show both sides of the coin, buddy. This is blatant manipulation.
Real
I was looking for this comment, thank you!
Sahi baat hai,,,,,in mba waale chutiyon ko bas topic chahiye video banane ke liye, pure video ka koi crux nahi hai, bc market hamesha bura hi rehta hai,,,to koi mba na kare,,,,,chutiyapa kar raha h
Thank you for your detailed insights. It really makes sense not to spend too much money foolishly by leaving our current job
Glad it was helpful:)
current situation of indian youth : overqualified and underemployed
Excellent inputs🎉
Pavan, your diligent research and insightful contributions are truly invaluable. The depth of your analysis and the clarity of your findings have the potential to steer countless students away from potential missteps in their academic journey. Your willingness to share such valuable information is not only admirable but also greatly appreciated. Thank you for your significant impact in guiding others towards informed decisions.
Thank you for the kind words Kshitij! Gives me motivation to do more such videos!!
Hi Pavan, I cannot completely agree with one of your points that if the placment situation in Tier I B schools is grave now, the situation in Tier 2 and Tier 3 will be even worse. I would say the supply demand chemistry of Tier 1 colleges are fairly different from that of Tier 2, Tier 3 colleges. The profiles that the company come for in Tier 2 and Tier 3 colleges are different. A few examples can be IT Business Analyst, Sales profile in BFSI or Operations job in BFSI. Basically a role far away from the word "strategy", "M & A" bluh bluh. Such roles cost less and hence company will be able to offer. Also such roles are available due to organic businss growth of the companies even if there is no major expansion happening in the companies. But once kick started with such role and profile, the individual from Tier 2 and Tier 3 college has all possibilities and resources available in the universe to help him throttle through professional career. In a era of information, an individual from Tier 2 and Tier 3 college can avail all kind of certifications, short term courses to enrich and equip himself along with his ongoing job role. Career is a long journey and the storm of Tier 2 and Tier 3 event in a candidate's life may not work act as an eclipse all throughout his life. Obviously hard work and availing the right opportunties can wipe out the eclipse of having a degree from Tier 2 or Tier 3. I have many many examples is what I can say.
I am just sharing my experience as one the perspectives. But many thanks for our informative video.
Completely agree with the point of having more than 50% freshers in the classroom. It adds no value in learning if your peers have never been in the corporate or have worked by themselves before joining a master's degree.
Nice perspective. It would be difficult to change mind of people aiming to pursue MBA this year; but at least some heads-up.
Such pragmatic insights-it’s really going to be helpful for so many youngsters (out there).
Many Thanks Sir.
I am glad Abhi!
Sir, what do you think for the batch of 2025-27? Will the market condition improve by next year?
But sir, what if one is an older candidate (>31 years) and have everything riding on mba and its subsequent placement? Would you suggest the same? What if market doesn't improve even after 1 yr / after 2 yrs?
There is no substitute to hard work no matter how much you are qualified.
Ye mat karo wo mat karo....to kare to kare kya....itne confusion ke baad decide Kiya tha ki mba karti hun....ab fir se confuse ho gyi...
I agree phele muje log bole Btech Mt kr private se abhi BMS kr raha hu mumbai mein and planning to do MBA Lekin yeh keh rahe MBA Mt Karo UPSC ,, SCC ki taiyari karne jao Toh PRASANT JI kehte hai kyu time waste Kr rahe ho......akhir kare toh kya kare very confusing .....

Do what you lovee
@@RajYadav-ej6ujwhat should i do bro btech cs or mba
MBA is not for every professional that needs to be stopped first ,B/C grades school should close
i would suggest to get into business with 30 lakh and 40 lakh of money. build your own business. You will eventually do it after 10 years.
I have about 6 years of work experience and am planning to pursue an MBA for the 2024-26 batch. I have offers from 2 B schools as of now. Would it be a wise option to pursue MBA at this stage?
thanks for sharing
Hi Pavan...thanks for making an insightful video. I recently received admit for IIML IPMX program. What's your take on it? Is it worth spending money. Since I'm looking for career transition that's my only reason to apply for the program.
thanks sir for this information
That's true salary going down instead of increasing 😢
Next company offering very very low increment on ur current compensation
After the dissolution of IIPM (in year 2016) how come the career destroying issue of faulty MBA placement system has not been sorted out yet?
Pavan...thanx for sharing the idea
Hello sir there is an online programme called Global Governance Initiative (GGI) which provides 1 year or 6 months MBA course and claims that many of their students have been recruited by Companies like BBM ....but I have no idea how legit their claims are ....should I go with that paid course ? ....please can you make a video on this topic bcoz students like us cannot end up investing so much money & time on a vague course
I think its not the responsibility of the college to place the students. Its the place you get knowledge and great connections. This is what is been followed around the world
outside India.
Students can explore sector specific course like Master of Hospital Administration ( MHA) from Tata institute of social sciences, which gives great ROI and stable career
If someone plans to take MBA why not take it now? The content of the course expense same in future. If you say don't take MBA ever it has some meaning. what to do if you are 3 years experience already..
I am from one of the old IIMs. And i do not recommend people to go for an MBA unless its very low cost-high reward one like FMS, JBIMs or you belong to a rich family so student loan wont be a concern
I would definitely like to see a post from you on LinkedIn OR even share your perspectives in a detailed way here!
How about doing pgdm ? What do you recommend? Please tell
But sir job uncertainty is there all over the world right now. Not everyone can afford an MBA from abroad. In that scenario, all those who are doing IPM mat coaching for 5 years BBA MBA integrated programs offered by IIM indore, Ranchi, Rohtak, IIM bodhgaya, lucknow and all, what should they do now ? Continue doing IPM mat to pursue BBA MBA from the above mentioned institutions? They also costs you 40 plus lacs. Pls advice. It may help us . Thank you
What are your views on FMS Delhi? Let's say if one can afford even top IIMs too but has to decide between both. Would FMS still make sense for him/her?
It was insightful... thanks... even the short term management courses offered by IIMs are taking the shares of job market for professional as they're already in field
yes it is true that the pl,acements are going down due to slow down, but keeping in mind the rate of growth of India, when US comes to previous situation (which is probably within 5 yrs), the need of MBA would increase drastically.
Bro is mba have good scope in 2026
To summarize
1. Placement Issue
2. Job type and satisfaction
3. Low work experience
4. Less practical learning skills.
And make more networks with your classmates in your college.
Basically experience nahi ho aur skill nahi ho toh mat karo MBA even top colleges arent able to do the right placement to students just on the basis of their marks.
Thanks for the summary:)
@@PavanSathirajuHow can i figure out that i hv a skill or not ?
Is it the same trend in global business schools like INSEAD as well? Can you pls share feedback on their placement performance? I was planning to apply second MBA this year.
What about the job postings asking bschool degree from premier institutions?
In India, very few people get jobs after A commerce degree. Even Bulge bracket banks that hire from good colleges, mostly offer ops roles. While you can certainly excel in a capacity in those roles, exposure might be limited. Do you think that will have detrimental effect on the B- school applications for international school, even if the work ex is in, lets say Goldman? How can we make up for it. A lot of people are alos from good front end PE VC roles
Hi Pavan, Thanks for the insights. It was really helpful. I have 3.5 years of experience (2.5 years in Supply Chain and 1 year in consulting), Is it good enough to get good placement in current market?
If mba is not worth to do, then what's best according to you
Why are B schools in India like IIMB not accepting people with more than 3 YOE for their internship? Isn't more practical knowledge good?
Sir make one video for ms USA also ! We students are confused should we go abroad.
Thank you for your Opinion. Meanwhile you are exposing the reality of an MBA which no one is talking about.
You are a true person.
You are right sir, i am graduating from Tire 1 IIM and my ROI is in negative
I will be giving CAP IIM Interview next week🙂
Fees are not in LPA, this is for entire 2 years course. Pls correct.
being a 2024 grad job market kharab job nahi lag rahi h, ms wale dost bol rahe unhe bhi job nahi mil rahi, mba nahi kar sakte right now cause iim can't place there students, toh kare toh kare kya freshers
Get an internship. Market will get better in 1-2 years
The PGP for Experienced professionals counters points 3 & 4.
Hey sir, your video was great but what is the solution for this, like how much we can wait for pursing MBA ?
all points are very trivial, its still worth it to do MBA considering your college is well known and reputed!
You go to any other country and do MBA, you'll face the same issue, yes, regarding the expereince req I can agree but it doesnt matter in the long run!
I have 7 yr experience but growth is not that good so i m thinking to do MBA but i haven't prepared for any compitition exam please suggest me should i go for mba or not
So basically you can survive with a graduation certificate
So what about people who want to pivot their careers. What should they do if not mba. Specially when they are freshers.. because i have legal experience but i want to get into finance what do i do.
Sir, In which specialization you have completed your MBA.. ?? Let us know
If you are a fresher is it a sin?
dear sir, i work front desk job (chairman's office reliance) and am preparing for CAT. Can it be considered as work experience ?
I have completed by B tech from India and MBA from Philippines. By virtue of my journey I can say that what ultimately matters in the long run is the "skills" that you develop.
Hence think about how MBA would help you gain those skills and be where you want to be in life. Don't just blindly get into an MBA degree (especially for highly sucessfull engineers).
Please list out the skills u r talking about
Please list out the skills u r talking about
@@penumarthikasi2387 it is highly contexual and depends on which path that you take after MBA. If you are building a job/ career you need the hard and soft skills in that area (e.g. Analytical skills, Market and competition analysis, Customer interviews and insights). Similarly if you are taking a entrepreneur route you would need to understand/ craft how to create value proposition, manage money and team (basically business and product building skills)
@@productmanagementbyutsav3069hey brother , i have really intrst in buisness and entrepreneurship, nd im confused now to wht to do , i have neet exam i go there nd do my entrepreneurship journey ghere or go to iim bodh gaya with education loan nd make netwrk nd learn skills nd create wht ever buissnes i creat wht i do please help me ,

Sir AI coming in tech field which reducing man power so ultimately reducing manager position and this will increase by time so as a 12 th pass ehat should I do .
This video is very insightful sir, just the heading instead of a Trap, Mba with work experience, could have been better.
Thank youu sir!!! Coz it will Veryyy helpfull...!!ur single research have the weight...!!!🪄
Great Research! Work ex is indeed an overlooked aspect when it comes to Indian b schools and it will definitely have an impact during recruitment(for someone who's trying to make a pivot) especially during the downtimes which is clearly highlighted in the video.
One more important point mentioned is the increase in class size. One may look at this as a positive aspect thinking that now we have a lot of people to network with. That is true to an extent, but recruiters can't give a job to everyone
Is it a good time to pursue MBA in International Business schools for a person with 10 years of work experience?
Okay .. My counter argument is , although the immediate situation is bad.. after couple of years you can easily reach to high end of 6 figures to even 7 figures if you have an MBA esp from schools like ISB & IIM ABC. You'll get access to opportunities which is not available to just about anyone. So in the long run your ROI is going to be good.
But we'll be graduating almost after 2 ti 2.5 yrs. POV: someone who is PLANNING to do an MBA currently. what about the market condition at that time.
Sir, can we interpret it as Tier 1 colleges are getting less offers then maybe Tier 2 & Tier 3 are getting more offers as the higher salaries are demanded by Tier 1 colleges ?
No:)
The market itself was shrinking. Hopefully it will get better though in the next year
I agree with your arguments, but are you really sure about Business degree from Abroad ?
Can we go for a cost effective Online mba from reputed institutions from mhrd listing..? I have 5yrs of exp
Sir what if i have completed my graduation in different strem but i have work ex in different stream , will this work ex get counted in admission pocess ?
wont be the job market condition will be different in 2 years, so is this applicable to people who are appearing this years exam
Hi Pavan, thanks a lot for the content, appreciate your efforts on the same.
I hold the perspective that two years duration is too high for an MBA and that an MBA without workex is significantly less advantageous for a student.
Also, recession goes quite hand in hand with the growth of the education sector, which may be related to the fee increase combined with reduction in annual CTC. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
As per Financial times global report on value of money for B-schools, the ISB reported the highest jump in salary post graduation and IIMA offered the best career progression, ahead of Stanford. (The methodologies are debatable, that's a different story). The batch strength of ISB as you mentioned is quite scary.
Requesting to make a video on doctorate in management, considering duration, corporate opportunities (vs academic) at global level. Thanks, this is great!
Govt should intervene to put a break on exorbitant high fees
What is your views on MBA from INSEAD in 2025 ?? Is it the same like Indian B schools
Sir is the FABM course worth doing???pls reply
In the current situation pursing an MBA is the dumbest thing.
See, it's totally based on your perspective... If you want to bet then you can and if you want to drop 1 or 2 year its totally upon you... No one know what will be the situation after 1 or 2 years... Maybe we can see a huge spike or maybe more decline it's your choice... The people entering 2022-24 doesn't know these going to happen because at that time situation was different things were good... So what if entering in 2024 or 2025 will end good ??? It's on you... And one more thing i want to highlight... If you come under top 25% students in the class you are still getting around 25-30lpa which is not bad... Once the situation make u-turn you'll get back on track asap... It's totally your choice... I am going inside in 2025 no matter what... I will work my ass off i will get myself in top 25% i will do whatever i can to get highest possible opportunity ❤
WHO SAID ???
Agree with you but what i am seeing in the market is fresher from good b school in India earns more than 3,4 year experienced professional who has more skills and have more impact on project. I personally observed in my team that IIM guy who makes same ppt and doing same work gets paid 2X more than my other team mate but in actual that experienced team mate (not from IIM) gets lot of appreciation for his good work and more project value addition. Brand Matters !!!
I was thnkng to strt mba ..after ma degree but ...now i knw it wont worth it
What ever the outcome i would like to pursue MBA from the top B school.
What about low fee MBA colleges which are good (FMS) or relatively good in comparison to a private uni example DMS ,DFS,DBE
thanx pavan
👏This is the most pragmatic video I've seen in contrast to the popular advice nowadays **When the market is down, invest in your higher education.**
👉Someday make a video on how you research any subject so well and explain it flawlessly!
Sir, btw, you also know Indian students abroad are facing a lot of challenges from hate crime murders to tough job prospects, Why don't you make a reaction video to Soch by Mohak Mangal's well-researched video on Indian Students moving abroad video?
Didn't check out the video. Will do soon if I don't agree with his views:) Thank you for the kind words:)
It's about adding value. I have around 5.5 yoe and work at a US based software company, make about 50 per annum, and I feel Software Engineers directly add value to the product. On the other hand, a lot of PMs and PGMs in my team can't even write the stories properly because of lack of in depth understanding of the product. If a few PMs and PGMs are let go, it won't have much impact. However, if ANY software developer leaves our team, it would seriously affect the project
Hi Mr. Pavan, Can you make a video on 10+2 level education in India. How to prepare for a career in engineering without these coaching institutes. How can today's kids and parents navigate this nightmare!!
