New Research disputes value of Pre-MBA Work Experience

NBS — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 13:31:19 +0000

The Rollins MBA at the Crummer Graduate School of Business today announced the findings of research that measured the value of an MBA degree for those with and without pre-MBA work experience. The study investigated the economic benefits and costs associated with choosing to delay matriculation to a full-time MBA program to gain work experience, rather than enrolling immediately after completion of undergraduate studies. It concluded that there is a financial disadvantage to delaying matriculation into a full-time MBA program.

While students who have less work experience had lower starting salaries, the difference was overcome by the advantage of getting an early start on careers. The study found that, by the age of 30, those who attend business school right out of college tend to be paid about the same amount as those who worked one to five years before receiving their MBA; and students who delay matriculation may incur a long-term financial penalty. MBA students without work experience showed an average 96 percent gain in salaries five years after receiving their MBA compared to 80 percent for those who had one to five years of experience.

“Pre-MBA work experience is required for admission to many graduate schools of business,” said Craig McAllaster, dean of the Crummer Graduate School of Business. “The perception among students has been that this work experience translates into a higher salary. While this might be true immediately following graduation, our research shows that those with no work experience actually see a higher gain in salary five years after graduation, compared to those students who worked for one to five years prior to obtaining their MBA.”

The research supports an increasing awareness that dropping out of the workforce at age 28 to attend a two-year MBA program creates a large opportunity cost, not only in terms of forgone salary but also in terms of lost career momentum, particularly in the fast moving industries, such as high-tech. As a result, alternatives to enrollment in full-time MBA programs continue to surge whereas full-time programs have seen a decrease in applicants in recent years. Part-time students do not incur the high opportunity cost of forgone salary and many have their tuition reimbursed by their employer.

“The study underscores that, contrary to the conventional wisdom resulting from the business school rankings, it is advantageous for students with the right attitude and aptitude to pursue an MBA directly out of college, or shortly thereafter, for a variety of reasons including a higher return on investment,” said Mark Zupan, dean of the Simon School of Business, University of Rochester. “This research comes at a critical time in graduate management education. GMAC reports that the under 24 age group of GMAT test takers has doubled in size since 2004-05 while growth in the 24-30 age group has only marginally increased in the same time period.”

Ten Commandments for PhD Applicants

NBS — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 07:51:09 +0000

Factors that you must keep in mind while applying

1. If you are not having any published material do not hesitate to send manuscripts under preparation.

2. Have an idea of what your graduate research will be about . Adcoms prefer candidates who already have a clear notion of what they would like to do.

3. To improve your chances of admission gain some research / work experience in the field your application.

4. Have a clear idea of the professor you would like to work with , and indicate this on your personal statement. If possible, contact these faculty before you apply.

5. If you have a Bachelors degree (and not a Masters), be prepared to prove exceptional potential for graduate research. Ideally, this comes from summer research experience in labs/groups of national or international repute or publications in premier peer-reviewed journals.

7. Even if a university is unable to provide you with direct funding or a scholarship, there may be other opportunities for you to earn an income while you are there, such as research assistantships. Look into this before turning down an offer from a university you might otherwise want to attend.

8.Most schools interview potential candidates. Typically international candidates are interviewed by a member of the school’s faculty on telephone. Be prepared to explain and answer questions on your coursework and projects. An invitation to interview almost certainly means you are going to be offered the position if you can justify what you have written in your paper application.

9. Admittances are notified beforehand, while financial aid decisions are often pending till a month or two after that.

10.. If you’re in your forties or older, expect age discrimination at popular schools

All you wanted to know about educational loans

NBS — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 00:14:50 +0000

What can an educational loan be used for? In other words, for what courses can an educational loan be obtained?

Educational loans are available for higher education (full-time graduate or post-graduate course) in technology, engineering, architecture, medicine, management and applied or pure sciences, including mathematics and statistics. It is best to check with the bank you are interested in getting the loan from, if the course you are going in for is covered under their educational loans.

Who gives out such loans?

Most of the financial institutions and banks give out educational loans. However, it is the public sector banks that are at the forefront of such loans.

Who is eligible for the loan?

Only the individual opting for higher studies can go in for the loan.

What is covered under the loan?

Tuition fees payable to college/school
Examination / library / hostel charges
Travel expenses
Purchase of books /equipment /uniform
Cost of two-wheelers (optional)

What is the maximum amount lent by the bank?

The amounts given by different banks vary. Typically, for studies within India, the maximum amount is between Rs. 7.5 lakh and Rs 10 lakh. For education abroad, the maximum loan amount is Rs. 15 lakh to Rs. 20 lakh.
However, many banks cap the maximum amount at Rs. 20 lakh.

What is the interest applicable on Educational loans?

Again, the interest rates vary from bank to bank and depend on the amount of the loan taken. Typically, interest rates on educational loans range between 11.25% and 13.5%.

Are there any other fees applicable while taking this loan?

Banks charge you processing fees for approving the loan and basically doing all the paperwork. These fees range between 2.25% and 2.50%.
Another charge or more appropriately expense that you would most probably need to bear is the margin amount. Normally, banks do not approve the loan that would cover the entire cost of your education. For example, for a loan of Rs. 10 lakh, the bank would approve only 80% or Rs. 8 lakh. The additional Rs. 2 lakh that you would have to raise from your own sources is called the margin amount.

What are the documents required while applying for the loan?

The required list of documents may vary from bank to bank. The most common documents would be:

Proof of admission (educational loan cannot be applied without proof that admission has been secured in the selected institution)
Schedule of fees from the institution
Mark sheet of the last qualifying examination
Photographs

If the applicant is earning then:

Bank account statement
Income tax assessment order of last 2 years
Proof of income
Brief statement of assets/liabilities

Do I need to provide a guarantor or any other kind of security?

For smaller amounts of loans (amounts upto Rs. 4 lakh) banks do not ask for any guarantor or security. However, most banks ask for either a guarantor or for some kind of security such government securities,gold, shares, other investments etc.

When does an individual start repaying the loan, and how much time does he have to do it?

Most banks ask you to start paying off the loan either six months or one year (varies from bank to bank) after you complete the course or six months after you have secured a job, whichever happens first.
Again, depending on the bank, you get around 10 to 15 years to pay off the loan. It is important to remember that the higher the amount, the longer you get to repay. Ofcourse it also depends on your income and how much you are willing to shell out towards this debt on a monthly basis.

Are there any tax benefits for educational loans?

Under Section 80 E of the Income Tax Act, you are eligible for rebate on the interest (not on the principal) you have paid on the loan. Moreover, the best part is that there is no limit to this amount. This deduction once applied only for self-education, but now this facility is extended for the education of relatives; relatives include only one’s spouse and children.
This deduction is allowed for 7 years and the loan must be taken for higher education purposes only. Moreover, the loan has to be from a financial institution or a government approved charitable institution.
