Highlights of Admission and Information Seminar of myBskool

The admission and information seminar of myBskool was very interactive and informative. Mr. Ranganathan, Head of Business Development, of myBskool spoke about the advantages of doing an online management program.

Ranga told the analogy of ‘Unconference’ and how online social media learning brought out the benefits of an Unconference. Unconference works on the principle that the collective wisdom of the audience/learners is often more than the speaker/teacher. Anyone in the audience can come and speak about the topic the expert speaker has started.  The cloud-based social learning platform of myBskool allows to scale the number of learners to even millions, and so the interactive learning can be massive and collaborative.

Ranga showed a demo of a myBskool video on Economics, the quick streaming on both a PC as well as Tablet. He spoke about the benefits of the PGDM programs offered by myBskool and IMT Ghaziabad.

Will Babu Get a Management Qualification?

Babu was involved in his family business right from the age of fifteen. He did his under graduation in economics and continued working in his father's medical equipment factory. He traveled abroad for the business expansion and was very successful as a manager. 

However, one day in the factory, Babu overheard one his juniors pass a comment about him. "When half-baked managers run a business, you expect such decisions." He wondered why his junior, a management graduate from a popular institute made such a remark. 

Babu told this incident to his father. His father said, " I was able to manage and keep loyal employees, even though i did not have a management degree. But these days, employees can be both shrewd and vindictive. I think you should try to get an executive MBA."

Babu can access the video lessons from his smartphone or laptop even when he is travelling. And he will get course materials from IMT and will get a wealth of knowledge about management from practicing industry experts.

Applying Six Thinking Hats to myBskool PGDM

Hey, do you have lot of doubts about doing an online management program? Let us use the The Six Thinking Hats of Edward De Bono to analyze the myBskool PGDM course. Now, you will wear the hats as a student and brainstorm about the myBskool courses.

Are You Aspiring for a Doctorate in Management?

Kavitha works for a foreign bank. She enjoys her hectic career which involves travel, events, and late hours. But five years from now, Kavitha did not see herself working for a bank. She wanted to start her own firm, be a consultant, and also teach. Yes, teaching was her passion. And she wanted to get a doctorate in management.

She was slightly overwhelmed by the path she has to take. First, a post-graduation in management, and then a doctorate. Where to study, how long will it take? Will the course be cost-effective and recognized?

myBskool has a solution for Kavitha's need. myBskool offers a two year PGDM from IMT Ghaziabad. Those who complete the two year PGDM, can enroll for the PhD program from IMT.  

IMT Ghaziabad PGDM - Learn from the Leaders

It is surprising to know that thousands of students enroll for an executive MBA that is not recognized or accredited.What is the point of slogging for one or two years to get a management qualification that is not recognized anywhere?

How nice it would be if a top-ranked b-school can qualify you as a management professional? You are no more a Tom, Dick, or Harry. IMT Ghaziabad has won several awards for its excellent Distance Learning Program. And the online management programs it offers is recognized throughout the world. Don't you want to learn from the leader? Click here to download brochure.

Why Working Professionals Prefer Online MBA?

All aspiring professionals will take up managerial and leadership roles as they climb their career ladder. If you are an aspiring professional, you will look for a chance to get a post graduation in management. You plan to equip yourself with theory before you manage people on a real-time basis.

If you start looking at a full-time MBA degree from a reputed management institute, you need to prepare for the admission process. You need to clear CAT, get very good scores. You need to get past a group discussion round. The process sounds challenging, but do you have the time to prepare for this rigorous admission process? Even if you get admission, you need to shell out around 10 lakhs to 11 lakhs as fees.

Do you have the time and money for such a full-time MBA? If not, are there any alternatives?  Yes. There are almost 480 universities offering distance learning MBA. The cost of an online management education is between Rs.50,000 to 1 lakh. Affordable, but is it from a reputed institute?

myBskool has a solution for all your needs. myBskool has a tie-up with IMT Ghaziabad that ranks amongst top 10 b-schools in India. To download the PGDM brochure and look at our sample videos, click here.

Read, Read, and Read

Everyday, a manager has to take important decisions. So, a manger has to read a lot to know the current economic, political, cultural, technology, and environmental scenarios. Daily, on an average, a good manager will read 50-100 pages of information. The source of information and data can be leading newspapers, magazines, blogs, journals, bestselling non-fiction books, and sometimes even fiction. If you don't have the habit of reading, you need to atleast listen to audiobooks. On the whole, reading is an activity that no manager can escape.

But with information explosion, one needs to have power reading skills. Improving your reading skills will help you to gather key points in a short time. Keeping reading in mind, the IMT Ghaziabad PGDM syllabus includes 'Reading Skills' module under Business Communication.

Who Can Opt for an One Year Management Program?

Jay Cross - India has to Democratize Learning Now

Informal Learning guru Jay Cross says, "India needs to train 500 million people in the next ten years. Some have proposed building thousands of new schools and colleges. Yet if the building program began in earnest tomorrow, there still wouldn’t be enough time to build the required classrooms — some six times what India has today.

What would those schools teach? The half-life of a professional skill is down to five years and is shrinking fast. It makes no sense to train people on skills that will become obsolete in short order. I’ll suggest that people need to learn meta-skills, such things as:

• learning how to learn
• critical thinking and conceptualization
• pattern recognition
• design thinking
• working with one another
• navigating complex environments
• software literacy

India has neither time nor resources to prepare teachers to transfer these skills to hundreds of millions of people. The answer? Flip Indian education. Delegate the delivery of content to electronic means, and focus teachers on coaching, leading discussions, helping people over hurdles, and relating lessons to real life. Also, teach students and workers to help teach themselves. The time is ripe for India to democratize education, to help students to think for themselves and realize their potential. " 

myBskool offers The Flipped Classroom

What is a Flipped Classroom? In a Flipped Classroom, the student learns curriculum lessons at his/her own pace using a PC, tablet, or mobile. And then comes to class for debates, discussions, and clearing doubts. 

In traditional methods of teaching inside brick-and-mortar classrooms, the student sits in the class for more than six hours. The student cannot take a break from the lecture, switch to a different topic, or replay an interesting chunk of lecture. The Flipped Classroom helps the student to overcome such learning bottlenecks.  

In a Flipped Classroom, the student is proactive in the classroom and is not a passive listener. He or she comes prepared with a set of questions and has a definite purpose while attending the classroom sessions. Networking, communication, and brainstorming happens in the classroom, leading to a lively session.

What does Thomas Friedman feel about Online College Education?

Three times Pulitzer prize winner Thomas Friedman, and author of the book “The World is Flat,” gives a Thumbs Up to Online College Education.

“Welcome to the college education revolution. Big breakthroughs happen when what is suddenly possible meets what is desperately necessary. The costs of getting a college degree have been rising faster than those of health care, so the need to provide low-cost, quality higher education more acute than ever. At the same time, in a knowledge economy, getting a higher-education degree is more vital than ever,” the Pulitzer prize winner writes. 


“And thanks to the spread of high-speed wireless technology, high-speed Internet, smartphones, Facebook, the cloud and tablet computers, the world has gone from connected to hyperconnected in just seven years. Finally, a generation that has grown up on these technologies is increasingly comfortable learning and interacting with professors through online platforms.”
