Aditya Anand<\/strong>, an iQuanta<\/a> student, after getting 98+ in CAT, XAT which still not being good enough to get calls from few Bschools which gave calls to non Engineers wanted to share few words below”<\/p>\n

[signinlocker id=”2706″]<\/p>\n

“English dictionary:<\/strong>
\nGEM<\/strong>– A precious or semi-precious stone, especially when cut and polished or engraved.
\nMBA dictionary:<\/strong><\/p>\n

GEM( General Engineer Male)<\/strong>– The least desirable combination for admission into top B-schools. Get stoned when finds out the cut-\u2018off\u2019 and diversity \u2018policy\u2019 of B-schools.<\/p>\n

While meaning of a lot of words changed as we grew up (for instance \u2018Maal\u2019 \u2018Out\u2019 etc.); GEM clearly stands out. Although, I belong to this community and faced the wrath of the so called diversity, I will try and be unbiased.<\/p>\n

So why IIMs and other top B-schools distribute points for diversity and define diversity as anything other than engineering?<\/p>\n

Why do they believe that only the winners of ‘Saregamapa little champ’ are eligible to participate in auditions of ‘The great Indian laughter challenge?
\nLet\u2019s embrace the fact that top B-schools want diversity in their batch. And if we trace the rationale behind this, two things come up.<\/p>\n

One is perhaps the reason for which most of the aspirants think of MBA in first place: Placements. Accept the fact that there are a lot of high paying firms with soft corners for Non-Engineers because of the profile they offer and they need a large pool of students with diverse background in order to select the best among them. CA\/B.com\/<\/p>\n

Accountancy\/anything other than engineering turns them on. And since average LPA is the prominent criteria on which we select B-school, colleges dance on the tune of these firms. Viscous circle? You are already a part of this, bruh.
\nSecond is the imbalance of supply and demand.<\/p>\n

Number of engineers graduating each year is more than population of many countries. And thus to filter out, non-decipherable criteria are introduced leaving us, GEMs, puzzled.<\/p>\n

So, competency is not the only factor which is going to decide the tag. But you can still make it. Work hard. Break the shackles. Because there are a lot of engineers making through. Be the one. There are a lot of top colleges yet to get infected by the diversity virus. Get into one.<\/p>\n
