Why did Rohan Jain choose to join IIM Ahmedabad after scoring a high GMAT score?
Rohan Jain’s goal had always been to be in IIM Ahmedabad and preparing for CAT. He took preparation for GMAT because the same for CAT was going well. He thought appearing for both examinations would open more openings for a good career so he went forward with his decision. GMAT has a validity of five years and would give the CV an edge over that of other candidates.
He chose to pursue MBA from IIM Ahmedabad instead of a foreign university for the following reasons:
- Requirement of work experience: Most of the business schools outside India require a minimum work experience. Rohan Jain did not have any work experience at all so it made no sense to him to look towards an uncertain future by not choosing to pursue his degree at IIM Ahmedabad.
- Diversity in Profile: The highly reputed business schools such as Harvard and Stanford require a lot of diversity in profile. Many IITians and other engineers actually work in the social sector for some years for making a unique profile. The US business schools aim to maintain the diversity in culture by allowing admission to candidates from all countries. Rohan Jain did not want to gamble his future on something that is so outside his control.
- Job Location: He was not sure if he wanted to work in another country. If he had returned to India after achieving his degree, he is skeptical if the finances would have worked.
He has completed his MBA successfully and did not regret his decision of joining IIM Ahmedabad.
