Awesome 2 years of my Life

After completing my graduation in B.Com, pursuing MBA seemed as the right option to give a push start to my career. The admission process at FLAME university is a bit complex as you need to clear many rounds before the offer letter part. Starting with, you need to have a good score in [CAT/XAT/MAT/CMAT/GMAT/MH-CET]. On the basis of your score, the next step comes the essay writing part. After the submission of your essay, sit for a personal interview where your past academic record and extra-curricular activities will be assessed. This whole process took some time, but if you perform well in each step you will definitely receive the offer letter.

The university offers various specializations in MBA such as Finance, Marketing, Human Resources Management, Entrepreneurship and Operations. I completed my MBA with majors in Human Resource Management and a minor in Marketing. The faculty members seemed very passionate in making us learn the concepts.
