As an MBA aspirant, I often wonder is an MBA still worth it?

The cost has skyrocketed over the years, but when I look deeper, I realize it’s more than just a degree. It’s about learning to think strategically, lead teams, and make decisions under pressure skills that no textbook alone can teach. While global B-schools may offer more exposure, Indian MBA programs still provide immense value for their cost, especially with strong alumni networks and industry links. For me, it’s not just about placement numbers or ROI it’s about preparing to handle real-world business challenges with confidence and clarity.

So yeah the cost has sky rocketed but the learning provided are far beyond textbooks.
