Melbourne Business School, Melbourne Ranking 2025 from QS, THE & US NEWS

Unlike India, companies do not come to campus to hire. However, some consulting firms come to campus as a part of their recruitment drive. Some of the biggest employers are Bain, McKinsey, Big 4, Loreal, etc. The average package for Indian students with non-consulting experience is usually around AUD120K. But there are people who enter the workforce with a AUD200K+ package as well. The primary way to get a job or an internship is to network with batchmates, alums and part-time MBA students. Show up to networking events, company presentations, and club activities. The career services will also help you prepare your resume and assist you with interview prep.

The admission process is simple:
1. Application: There is no fee to apply, unless you are shortlisted. After shortlist, you pay AUD100. I personally liked this since most B-schools charge $100 for applying.
2. GMAT/GRE: You need to get a competitive GMAT score. For Indians, anything above 700 should be fine. The higher you go, the better scholarship you will receive. There is no specific GMAT cutoff. The admission also depends on factors like application round, academics, previous experience, etc. 3. IELTS/PTE: Need a 6.5 or above in IELTS. This is basically a hygiene check. Pro Tip: If you have a high GMAT verbal, you can ask for IELTS waiver from the university. Although, after an admit, you will need to give IELTS for the visa process.
4. Interview: A single round of interview with the career services. It was a pretty casual conversation with basic behaviourial questions. The call was focused on setting realistic expectations from the MBA.
