One thing my alumni told me is: when you get good experience in an industry and then do MBA, you become a very valuable candidate, especially in consulting.
BS. Indian MBA is a different ball game. Age below 27 is looked down upon. Average age of the batch in tier-1 MBA colleges is 22-24 years. Even companies lean towards selecting younger candidates as they're easier to 'groom'. Top consulting also select young candidates only as they can put them under high pressure that comes with the job.
I'm not saying it's not possible, but only in India you find people doing mbas at 22-24. Outside India, avg age is 28-35.
@@siddhantpardeshi1204 I did not say that in indian context though. The alumni i mentioned in my comment did his MBA from Singapore and United States.
PS: I'm really curious about this ageism in MBA.
@@sra_junkshould i have work experience than do a mba?
but isnt MBA necessary for landing consulting jobs in india?
If you're born in India, prepare yourself for a long relentless competition. Schooling, entrance exams. graduation, post grad, govt exams, job hunting, shitty office politics, marriage etc. It's like a never ending marathon where every single milestone comes with its own exhausting contest. And the competitive mindset runs so deep that it spills into our daily lives as well. Take our traffic situation for instance. it's not just a commute, it's a freaking race to "be faster" than every vehicle in sight. People compete to overtake each other. No lane discipline, no civic sense. Nowadays, even parents have to be competitive just to enroll their toddlers in nursery schools/kindergartens bcos these institutions have upped their admission procedures by interviewing parents as well. What a mess!
sad but true 🥲
or just put the same amt of efforts in business
😢 Sadly true
Bhai why overthinking?
If you are intelligent you just emigrate at some stage
I took the screw MBA route ! Worked as an engineer 6 years , switched jobs and pivoted to product management in my last company. Now I am growing in my current role in product. In my mid thirties I Couldn't be happier as I am debt free, working on the cutting edge tech and having a package I am happy with.
What are u doing
Sir, I am right on similar path as yours, an engineer 7 years experienced, want to be in product management.
Can you suggest me what should I do in next 3 to 5 years to achive that?
Only if this channel existed a few years back, I'd have saved my application fees for the gazillion MBA exams
Now what doing
did you completed your MBA
So what you did finally and any advice to juniors ?
Nowadays, those who have cleared the exam and managed to get into the top MBA colleges in India. First, they land a job, and after doing a job for some years, they start their own coaching business because, after an MBA, the actual reality is different. There is a rapid increase in the cat-coaching industry and aspirants.
because you can't get a good job without MBA if you didn't do engineering or courses like bca
During the gold rush, selling shovels was a lucrative business opportunity.
Big shoutout to Prateek, how are you so good at wearing so many hats (doing different roles) ! :)
I’m surrounded by very supportive people. Blessed ❤️❤️❤️
If each CAT exam application costs around 1500-3000 inr, and there are more than a lakh CAT exam applicants, then one can imagine how rich IIMS become just by conducting exam. So jobless students and graduates make these useless institutes rich by donating application fees.
CBT exam karane ke paise tu dega kya?
@@SatwikSinha-py4uu tera baap degaa, ab bol!
In 2023 around 4 lack cat applications🤯
these mfs sell contact details for other colleges too as if they were free registration
@@cbazxy2697 true. If someone sells our information then who gave them the right to earn from selling our information
No matter how low your in hand salary is out of the first CTC, your payment increases exponentially if you are from IIMs.
Period.
Whoever edited this video has done an amazing job!
Good one!
I hope the next one is about influencing people about career opportunities emerging in this age like video editor, voice editor, and revealing the youtubers obsession with big numbers and fooling students to actually take these degrees .
The thing is that most of them are influenced by youtubers from a young age about stuff like coding and their packages and it sticks in their sub. When reality hits them that even the best of the best cant earn more than a certain point and they don't even have the money to study it and when they do study themselves and gain a lot of experience they get reduced salaries due to not having a degree.
Many people in India are consumed by the concepts such as hustle, comparison, competition, success, status, wage-slave, and gossip instead of having a variety of interests, passions, and hobbies that suits their fancy with the aim of becoming wholesome humans with their own meaning of life.
Started at 3.3 LPA 7 years ago after graduating from a humble B.E. Degree now more than earning 10 times, without doing anything else
Where bhaiya
congo man any advice to your juniors ?
@@sardarji162 are you planning to do mba ?
My advise is Accept your situation and work on upskilling,
I used to do courses on Udemy and build projects which were similar to the modern day applications and keep on reading about my domain.
Now any interview I keep on winning.
@@FarazNoor Dude earlier jobs were there and very few people were doing this which you told.. so things were good back then..
Now jobs are getting less we know how the market situation is and competition has increased a lot because every person is doing this which you told. So things are not good now :)
Need to end this midlife crisis. More awareness to be created. Your team is helping alot of people. Thanks for the video. Keep doing it 😊
Same applies to IITs even. Keep adding bloopers :>
Make a video about BANKING EXAM, JOB and discuss the reality !!!!!
What a MOTIVATION SIR, LIFE IS ITSELF DIFFICULT.
"Shadi karlo, baccha karlo, Ghar lelo, office lelo, midlife crisis karlo..." Truly a hard line 😅
Truth always hits hard
Marriage = Honeytrap to Enjoy Whole life on Men's Income 🤑.
Alimony 🤑 Maintenance 🤑 Property 🤑 child support 🤑.
So Don't Marry
Finally it gave a lot of clarity. Even ine point i was also in auto pilot mode...just i wanted to earn more and i have seem few of my friends doing that... I wanted to do it because of that. Thanks now i do what i really wanted to do. ❤
I just love the content you guys are putting.. and hats off to the Host !!
Learn a skill rather than doing MBA.. your employablility increases 10 folds
Competition in skills far more than competition in degrees hobs
@@MOKSH_J_Khow
could you suggest those skills for a commerce grad ?
Most of the video is truth, the last 45 seconds of the video is the deep truth. I thank the writers who came up with this insight. Autopilot it is.
More power to you ❤️❤️
"The video is superb and has been well-researched by the team."
Very good intent,content and people.
Loved this channel.
In India, competition is fierce, and high scores in school are often valued more than actual skills. While an MBA might seem like a solution, it's not always a guarantee of success. The key is to focus on real skills, creativity, and adaptability, rather than just traditional metrics like degrees unfortunately this is INDIA and boomer culture will be passed onto the future generations
Thanks for teaching us ❤
love you sir for this and this is something that should have been taught in schools .
🙏I am grateful to the enitre team for the preparation of these Golden Nuggets!!
Dear Zero1 and Prateek Sir, Please make a De-Influencing video on going abroad as it is the rising trend in India's youth for their higher studies. Please give us the clarity on an unbiased POV about higher studies abroad.🙏
That’s an interesting topic, done will work on this
I didn't get a good percentile in CAT 2023. I was seriously considering joining a run of the mill MBA college just so I don't waste a year. But, I decided not to join at the last moment and spend the nxt year with part time job and try CAT 2024 one last time. After watching this video I'm grateful for the decision I made. thank you.
What are you considering now dear friend? Iam also attempting cat this year any suggestions.
Glad you liked the video :)
Wff
Go for cat, gmat, mat and other
Dude part time job is not counted as job in business schools. So if you know the boss then tell them to put it as full time
This is called Quality Content
❤️❤️❤️
Prateek, we want a video on your life. You are an inspiration to several people.
I’m not sure there would be anything to learn from it. Did one thing for a really really long time and got lucky :)
Great, video dude. You are so good to do this.
🙏❤️
i got 30% In MBA CET exam and i want to become video editor, graphic designer but mere parents mujhe MBA karne ke liye emotional blackmail kar rahe hai
Funny thing is that the college that was in the movie was said to be one of the most prestigious college means even if farhan and Raju were at the bottom of the barrel they were still much much better than most of the people second thing is passion is just a feeling and it will go away at some point so basically both ways lead to a dead end
Future is in having a job and with it something that you like
You missed an important point while talking about fees and education loan of a mba degree is that in order to pay the emi of the loan, the youth cant afford to take up entrepreneurship and start their own businesses which has a huge impact on the economy.
True and it defeats the very purpose!
Great Content! Can you explain further more what skills the industry expects a MBA professional to have?
Really an eye opener
Was really going through a very hard time
Pursuing my degree final year
And failing CA inter for 3 consecutive times
And wanted to shift to MBA
And was looking for colleges
This video helped me get some clarity
Thank you ZERO1 and the HOST You are really amazing
So what you gonna do
Bro I'm too in the same boat failed CS executive 2 times then shifted to MBA thing. So,what you gonna do now CA itself,CAT or something else ?
Planning to join coaching and attend lot of mock tests and give my best
All the best for your MBA
I can't relate to this as I must say it's best video to see for everyone considering the MBA
Thanks for this one
Great initiative and a great representation 👏
Seats in MBA colleges (even the private ones) shouldn't be fixed for each year rather it should be a factor of project emand in 2 years .Rather than having a specialised MBA colleges, having vocational specialzed training schools will hurt less on pocket of parents of students and would hav higher chance of employablity.
1.77% is honestly not that bad in county like India.
Why this video has 58k views? It should be millions !!
I loved the ending.. a nice eye opener
nice video guys. keep up the good work
Thank you :)
I have no words for video editing. I love video editing ❤❤❤.
They really created a poster that looked real for a while ... Thank God these guys are helping us grow ❤
❤️❤️
Hello Zero 1 Team another banger video , Could you make a video on @13:21 "How does someone know where their passion lies" because Follow Your Passion is the most overused advice given over the years yet people find it difficult to find theirs and just go with flow (Societal Expectations) and later on have Midlife Crisis. I know this is off topic but youth being the most valuable resource India has an efficient,happy and content workforce has to be the priority.Hope you take a note of this Thanks !!
This is such an interesting topic. Let me see how we can outline this as an episode. Perhaps in the psychology series? Thanks for the suggestion
I believe one would finds his/her passion by doing absolutely nothing at all I mean do fasting of not using insta, Facebook,etc..and think of what would you do if social media doesn't exist and you find yourself would be involved completely in.When I say doing absolutely nothing that will force yourself to do something so just use your energy towards going in right direction.Now to find what your passion or what you like for that you will have to try out other skills that will make you earn a living apart from simply scrolling on social media."what you feed to your brain is what you become".
@@megenzyelectronicsengineer345 well said
Please make a video regarding CFA,FRM. I’m very new and idk where to start and are they as good as they are glorified. I request you to please look into it
yes but few say WIthout Mba , CFA and FRM are not much valuable .
Really nice video ❤❤❤❤, will you make one video about Neet and private MBBS collages ?
Sure we could :)
Every College wants to honour the successful examples
They don't care for failed ones
So Don't fail.
Why would anyone honor failures?
Jab pata hai toh mehnat kar 😊
This video was epic!
But I want you to make a video on These professional courses like ca and cs (Especially CS) cuz I'm pursuing it currently so which one is better doing this course and starting your trainning at 20 and getting a job at 23 or these high cost-intensive courses like MBA or LlB????????
Thanks a lot..
I Desired To Go in a Collage that offers PGDM in Mass Media named AIMC, but In Internet Specialty on CZcams I dont Find A lot of Information about College
Does anyone have some Suggestions how I check it and
Did You Know about this Collage.
5 years ago, I had a similar debate with my fam and friends, and therefore, while other friends followed the herd formulae, I did my own business after working in start ups for 3 years
However, as you turn 28-33 age range and marriage-kids is now the factor, you do end up wondering if that MBA tag would have been helpful. Markets are always dynamic, this goes for business and jobs both.
So, my question is, Is executive MBA, for that tag and as last backup/security net, a decent option? Someobody in the comments mentioned that for consulting, ideally one should do mba in 28-29 age range.
If one was to shift to consulting industry, even if that meant starting as fresher with some 5LPA, is doing Emba in consulting and hoping to land 12-15 LPA once that 2 year mba is done and you've gained some experience, a confirmed end result?
I'm at this current crossroads where my business is automated, streamlined and now managed by fam, and so I can shift back to corporate and climb that corporate ladder. However, not sure what path to choose...
Mature suggestions will be highly appreciated 👏 (:
Let me clear somethings about an Executive MBA from my understanding as an MBA grad :
1. An executive MBA at reputed colleges (ISB, IIMA,B,C etc.) is usually through GMAT and not CAT, so you don't have to face the huge amount of competition that usually happens in a two year flagship MBA.
2. Executive MBAs are almost always for 1 year with usually the same, if not more, amount of rigor that you'd expect from a 2 yr MBA.
3. It is usually expected (but not the norm) that you'd retain your specialization from your work-ex even post MBA in an Executive program. Consulting usually has every industry under it's umbrella so you should be fine if you plan to switch to consulting in that one year of Executive or stay in the industry you have a work ex from.
4. Avoid doing an online executive program from any institute or any kind of online course really. You don't really learn anything worthwhile and the degree/certification you recieve is not worth much.
5. The thing from the video about doing an MBA from a reputed institute holds through for executive programs as well. Check QS ranking, check NIRF, check FT rankings to make your decision.
All this being said, my opinion is that doing an MBA does add value provided you know what you're doing. Provided you land a job as a consultant, you can expect anywhere from 24 LPA CTC to 40 LPA CTC. Anyone paying you below 20 LPA is doing a disgrace to your degree. Unless you are desperate, accepting such an offer will only put you back against your peers.
P.S please do research well by yourself on executive MBA programs in india. These are only my observations.
The last line, "The choice is yours."
This is great!!! Can you please de-influence the blogger/influencer/podcast host/coach jobs and the un-realistic billionaire idea that is being sold to all young people. !!!
Yeah the unrealistic billionaire idea is interesting, will see if we can pick this up thanks for the suggestion :)
The Problem of going after what you want to do and not following the autopilot is,
India is not a country v can do this, or does the citizens have the money to take even a single gamble on their passion, autopilot is the safe way .
I was fortunate, from a financially stable family to take a gamble and c wer life leads but not every1 can do it .
Nor does the government give us, whether state or centre a safety net for its citizens without financial stability.
The government doesn't take care of you or does it have a emergency safety net for you, to put u back on your feet.
It's just You, Fam and few friends against the World.
Thts the sad reality of India today .
Most of us live from paycheck to paycheck .
I did mba on my own like prepared all finance topics but its of no use. Here in India , HR wants only mba graduates
Same with IIT'S and NIT's
One omit ->> Demand decreasing and supply increasing
What you are coming to tell i cant get it.
Why is everyone becoming Engineer or Doctor or say MBA, why our society's aspirations so limited and so similar?
An episode must to deinfluence!
You could have also done the engineering mba linkage. Everyone’s favourite combination
Done! On its way
I have one question
Like I'm a ca finalist with the interest in finance but the roles offer to ca are not relats to core finance and are offered generally to mba
Even though with more knowledge , no roles are offered to ca's because of lack of networking and mba tag
What is your question? I dont see a question in your comment, just a statement, which to some extent is true (Im a CA and have worked in big4s and MNCs). As a CA your core competency is accountancy, audit and taxation, and finance management usually companies would prefer the MBA grads from the reputable colleges, but theres no thumb rule. Your financial knowledge, understanding data and ability to play with the data, communication skills etc will help you in getting your preferred roles. Our CA curriculum is too much about the literature and too little about soft skills, presentability, communication etc.
Hope this helps and all the best for your final :)
It's the same with IITs, they're not all the same. Quality has been watered down.
Should deinfluence NEET and being a doctor.
Almost similar.
It's all not boom and gloom. Grass is always greener on other side. Make decisions wisely. Life is all about decision making. It's a long game.
Completely agree
Spot on 🔥

Sir please post of salary negotiation
Please Do a video on MBBS and neet
Your acting was so natural
Very very gyanful ❤❤
👏 Great Job
why I can't see the good part here?
now everybody will be in a race to get into FMS 😂 it's really worth it but i am damn sure after watching a lot of " is MBA woth it" videos FMS was the only thing in my mind, will be with the most aspirants like me. any way I decided to continue my working career. END OF THE STORY
Fms is already very competitive, this video does not make too much difference
well said about the life cycle of mid class person but have you found the key to crack this loop! I guess, you have read the book " the white tiger"
Bhai you are saying something is wrong with this conversation but yahan toh jiske engineering k baad job ni lagti toh MBA k liye hi bolte h
number of engineers per one lakh people is more in India than in China and USA
Same with MBA
Toh isme bachche ki thodi na galti hai

The problem is now i don't really know what i actually want ? Does anyone has an answer as to how should i look for what i actually should study and go for i have given cuet this year and other entrance exam i am from commerce background if u r reading this a reply would be helpful.
Isn’t it wonderful to not know what you want? Spend time finding what you do. Try new things, read more books, find more experiences. It’s better to figure this out now. I know this may seem tough, but it isn’t. Trust this is the start of something wonderful - Prateek.
