My MBA Life at TBS

Based on my MAT score which was good enough to land me offers from various renowned B-Schools (mostly private), I applied only for The Business School, Jammu University. The reasons being : It has a legacy of creating world-class management professionals and an institute that offers NBA and NAAC accredited MBA courses. Being a government Institute, it offers one of the best Return on Investment(ROI) values in North India with a nominal fee structure that even a student belonging to a middle-class family can afford. The Minimum Educational Qualification for taking admission in an MBA course here is Graduation in any stream from a recognized institute.

It was a general topic and I presented it with ease. * Next was PI where the panel asked me to introduce myself first and then they asked me questions about my choice, of course, my interests and some conceptual questions regarding my graduation stream.
