Let’s resume

26th September
I read through your responses, thank you!

What you want from college What you want from the session

BNG Session 3_Resume 2

One person captured quite a few key points I’d be hitting in this session

• Career prospects and work-life balance in management consulting. Is it really hectic? If yes , why
so ?

• Can I become a management consultant right out of NIT Trichy or will I be at a better advantage
if I get into top Indian B-schools and then apply to become a management consultant?

• How much of a difference do you think a work experience of 1-2 years would give someone while
studying in an Indian B school ?

• Do Indian B-Schools expect the applicants to have projects related to management in the CV?
Can it backfire if someone has only management related projects in his/her CV ? (But say, they
have a good CGPA)
