HOW CAN A BBA OR PGDM STUDENT BE PART OF THE TOP 5 COMPANIES IN THE WORLD?

PGDM and BBA are both management courses giving students the opportunity to dream higher and be successful, both of these courses hold a great value in the market. Lets talk about these courses :

  1. Bachelors in Business Administration (BBA) is a type of Management course at an undergraduate level which regardless of the specialization, will provide a student with conceptual, theoretical and practical knowledge in various aspects of the business. It is a 3-year course. The students in this field get a practical exposure in their training.
There are institutes which provide a 5-year integrated course which includes BBA+MBA. And the Indian Institute of Management is the first among all the IIMs to introduce it. The Indian economy has seen a rise in a few decades and so has the business industry, as business companies grow and establish they require more skilled and trained employees. BBA as a course has seen a lot of growth, with more and more people applying for it in various colleges. Now more than 500 universities and colleges offer BBA as a course in India. This degree is designed to provide a broad knowledge of the functional aspects of a company and their interconnection. It also allows specialization in a particular area. The programs expose students to a variety of “core subjects” and also allow students to specialize in a specific academic area. The degree also develops the student’s practical, managerial and communication skills, and business decision-making capability. Many programs incorporate training and practical experience, in the form of case projects, presentations, internships, industrial visits, and interaction with experts from the industry.  
  1. Post Graduate Diploma in Management (PGDM). The confusion of a student starts when they see the term “diploma”. Many students are of the view that it is a Diploma course and not a Degree; you are right to an extent that it is a Diploma. The main reason why postgraduate courses are named as PGDM is that they are autonomous institutions (meaning it is not affiliated to any University) and conduct management courses then such Institutes cannot offer an MBA degree.
When an Institute secures autonomy they design their own curriculum to be taught instead of following outdated University syllabus. The reason why they chose to do so is that the curriculum can be updated regularly depending on the need in the Industry. Therefore the AICTE (All India Council for Technical Education) is giving the authority to conduct PGDM courses in approved colleges. Hence it can be said that PGDM courses are more relevant in terms of the industry than MBA courses SECRETS THAT CAN LAND YOU JOBS IN TOP COMPANIES
  1. Find a mutual connection: If you have a mutual acquaintance, reach out to that person and see if they are willing to introduce you. You have a greater chance of getting the person within that company to respond if someone you both know loops you in.
You can certainly try emailing by yourself with a warm introduction. However, everyone is so "bombarded and overwhelmed" at work that its more likely you wont get a response. Top companies receive thousands of resumes every single day "If a person introduces you, the contact is exponentially more likely to get back to you,".
  1. Send an introduction email: Regardless of how close you are with the mutual connection, the person making the introduction is doing you a favor and probably "super busy," but he made an exception for you. Its up to you to make things as easy as possible.
Drafting the introductory email for the person using a few sentences that briefly discuss who you are and what you want. That way, the person making the introduction can quickly scan the email and shoot it off to the recipient.
  1. Get to the point: Once the introduction has been made and the other person has responded, remove the mutual connection from the email chain and get a direct hold of the situation.
Once thats done, delve into why you are reaching out. the more clear information you provide from the start, the more likely you are to get a response back from the person. In fact, the next email should be a maximum of three sentences, discussing who you are, why you want to talk to them and proposing next steps. "Be super simple. Use clarity," he says. "The person either want to talk to you or they dont."
  1. Make a phone call: Now that youve grabbed the persons attention, and he or she knows what you want, ask if you can schedule a phone call. Better yet, ask if theres an assistant in the office who can set up a phone call between the two of you.
"It makes it easier for them and gives them actual next steps,". "Plus they dont have to set it up themselves or check their schedules." If youre referred to the assistant, treat that person the same way youd treat who you are trying to get on the phone.   "Recognize the deep humanity in this chain," ."Treat the assistant respectfully and thankfully." Any business expert would suggest asking for a brief, 15-minute call and says that you should make sure to keep your schedule open for them. "Be upfront and appreciative and youll be able to talk to whom you want to talk to," he says.
  1. Follow up without looking impatient: So the person canceled your scheduled phone call or isnt responding back to your emails. Thats standard.
"A lot of people are just busy. Its not about you, its about them and their life,”. "Be amenable and try to accommodate changes." Its also important to have an "authentic tone" when reaching out once more. He suggests starting the conversation by saying the following: "Hey, I dont mean to be a pain" or "Is there anything I can do to facilitate this?" Oftentimes you will try to get in touch with a person and for one reason or another, things dont work out. But then you might meet them later, and establish a great rapport.
  1. Focus on your resume: no one buys into vague statements like “excellent problem solver.” A resume should focus on your accomplishments: concrete ways that you’ve made an impact, quantified if possible. Remember that your list of accomplishments goes beyond the “official” work that you’ve done. Any project that is reasonably substantial can be listed on your resume.
  2. Prepare questions that you would want to ask:Asking interesting questions during your interview cannot only help you learn if the job is right for you, but it will also demonstrate to your interviewer that you’re passionate about the position. You should prepare a list of questions before your interview. A particularly insightful question about how the company has handled potential challenges can demonstrate your own expertise in the field.
  3. Admit your mistakes:No one is fooled when you try to cover up mistakes, especially in a problem-solving After all, your interviewer has probably asked it dozens of times. Admitting a mistake shows that you are analytical enough to recognize when you messed up, and it also demonstrates humbleness and interpersonal skills. No one wants to work with someone who won’t fess up.
  4. Be fearless: companies like Google and Microsoft nearly as notorious for their tricky questions as they are famous for their perks. Unfortunately, many candidates freeze when asked a challenging question. Their minds race with thoughts of incompetence and impending doom, instead of with potential solutions. In asking these questions, companies aren’t just trying to test your intelligence (though that’s certainly a component of it). They want to see that you are fearless. They want to see that you’re the type of person who sees a tough problem and charges it head-on. So take a deep breath, and charge.
