Introduction
Starting your MBA journey can feel overwhelming—but with the right mindset, preparation, and guidance, you can confidently navigate the admissions process. In this blog, we’ll break down each stage and share actionable tips to help you put your best foot forward.
1. Understand the Admission Requirements
Before you dive into applications, make sure you’re clear on what’s expected. Every institution, including ASBS, typically requires:
- A completed undergraduate degree
- Competitive entrance test scores (e.g., ASSET, CAT, etc.)
- Participation in a Personal Interview (PI) or Written Assessment (WAT)
- Updated resume and statement of purpose
2. Prepare Strategically for Entrance Tests
Scoring well in an entrance test like the ASSET is crucial. Focus on:
- Strengthening your basics in Quant, Verbal, and Reasoning
- Practicing mock tests regularly
- Managing time efficiently during the exam
3. Craft a Compelling Application
Your application is your story. Make sure it reflects:
- Clarity of goals (Why MBA, why now, and why this institution?)
- Relevant academic/professional achievements
- Extracurricular contributions or leadership experiences
4. Ace the Interview or Written Assessment
This is your moment to shine. Interviewers assess communication, confidence, motivation, and awareness.
To prepare:
- Practice common MBA interview questions
- Be honest, and avoid rehearsed answers
- Keep up with current affairs and business news
