Description
Whether you are an employee looking for a change in your job profile or a fresh graduate looking for a secure financial future, an MBA degree is often seen as a silver bullet. Alas, the reality is that the MBA system, be it in India or abroad, isn't all shiny and perfect. Most MBA aspirants are confused when it comes to choosing a B-school and unsure about what to expect once they get in. The problem is particularly acute for those who can't get into top-notch schools in India and who decide to pursue their MBA ambitions overseas. In Beyond the MBA Hype, Sameer Kamat, one of India's top admission consultants, shares home truths that no B-school website or consultant will ever tell you. The book will not just help you embark on your MBA journey with more clarity, it will save you time and money, and most importantly, direct you to your career goals.

Why MBA ? Answer the question with clarity and confidence
Here I am done with reading your book 'Beyond the MBA hype' a short, sweet and an interesting read :).
I knew about the book sometime back yet I didn't buy it for two reasons :
1.The after-effects of reading 'Managers not MBAs' by Mintzberg. Though the first part of his book was with convincing arguments, the second part does more of a promotion for his version of an MBA program. According to him, I am a wrong candidate, doing MBA at the wrong time and at the wrong place. So I thought I s...

MBA Myths clarified...
Firstly, a big thanks to Sameer for writing out such a wonderful book. I'll confess that I do not fancy reading books a lot & I haven't read a book completely in the last few years. But this book caught my interest from the very first chapter, due to the lively manner in which it kicks off.
Like most MBA aspirants even I had a lot of questions about schools, application process, job prospects etc. So went through many forums & blogs online, but most of them seem to talk about stuff either fr...

Mere Hype
Couple of years back i decided to do an MBA, but was not sure of which way to take,either full time or part time. I was doing analysis about MBA programmes, then accidentally i came across this book.I was enthusiastic that i may get lot of insights about MBA programmes, but this book turned out to be a dud.This book may help freshers or people who have zero idea about MBA programmes.If you have enough time to do some research in google, then you can very well skip buying this book.
All that ...

I looked Beyond the MBA HYPE!
Some background.
-> I was an MBA aspirant and gave the myriad number of exams from CAT to GMAT.
-> Rejected a top Indian college cos I got a great score on my GMAT.
-> Finally decided not to do an MBA and went ahead and started my own business (Sweet 'n' Swirl Ice Creams) ;)
The actual review:
Pro's:
-> A simple and fast read, to the point and informative.
-> In-expensive, costs as much as a coffee but definitely worth much more!
-> A go to guide before you plan on doing an MBA.
-> Basicall...

A practical guide for any MBA aspirant
With a reference to Sachin on the very first page,Sameer instantly connects with his readers.He maintains this connect throughout the book by taking us through the journey of a fictional MBA aspirant 'Mitu' . Many an MBA aspirant will be able to relate to this as they would have been in similar situations.The book has a very 'Chetan Bhagat' feel to it in the way it handles the entire 'phoren MBA' process and reading the whole book is a rather enjoyable affair.

Excellent Guide for prospective MBAs
This book is an excellent guide for anyone who is thinking about an International MBA. It is very insightful and more importantly honest about everything associated with an international MBA. Despite the fact that the author himself can be identified as a stakeholder in the MBA industry, he has refrained from presenting an over-optimistic view about what a international MBA means for an individual. Whether you are confused about when, how and why to apply to b-schools or about what you can ex...

What MBA 101 should be about
Me: Dude, did you read that book on MBA I gave you the other day?
Dude: Yeah, but I couldn't find any quantitative or verbal questions in it.
While the above dialogue is a work of fiction, most people would concur that "a book on MBA" has become synonymous for preparatory material for MBA entrance exams. Which is why 'Beyond the MBA Hype' by Sameer Kamat comes as a refreshing change.
