But due to the fear i m not going for GD PI. Please help me out. S.K.

ANSWER:

Dear SK,

The admission for MBA is always based on performance in Entrance examinations followed by group discussion and interview. But some of the leading institutes do consider your academic performances also while considering admission to their colleges. This is done because they generally want student who can cope of academic stress too. But if you really perform in your Entrance and Group discussion and prove your skills, some of the institutes will definitely consider your admission.

We will always advice the student that not only academic performance counts but you should improve your soft skills during your graduation. So my sincere advice is to go ahead and apply to institutions and exhibit your skills of excellence through group discussion and interview. Wish you all the very best.

i am currently studying in std 11th. i want to pusue a career in human genetics. i am planning to 1st complete mbbs then to enter genetic field and then go in for MBA....i would like to know whether i m going on the right path and if u have any suggestions i would like to accept it. waiting for the reply.....

ANSWER: Dear Tanvi,

In fact you want to do 3 careers simultaneously. I don't think you are in the right path. You should first decide in which career you want to develop first?, Either in human genetic or administration or medicine. In case you want to have a career in human genetics I would advice you to do Undergraduate programme in Bio Technology or Micro biology and then proceed to do your Post Graduation in human genetics.
