MBA was my dream at first, but because of family finances and my average graduation marks I took the SBI PO exam. By God's grace and some hard work I got selected. Still, I aim to study at a top MBA institute like IIM A, B or C. Will having a bank PO job help in the IIM interview?

Qualifications

B.Sc. Biochemistry

10th – 78 %
12th – 80 %
Graduation – 60 %

Work experience: 2 years as SBI Probationary Officer.

Hello OP, I'm also planning to get an SBI PO job for work experience and financial stability, and then either pursue an MBA or RBI Grade B. Is this plan feasible?

Hi, I'm Vishal Singh. Because of some reasons I had four drops after 12th, and now I want to prepare for the SBI PO exam. Please guide me. I can only afford an online batch.

Aim for FMS; their fees are affordable and they offer good ROI.

Bro, can I DM you? I have some questions about the PO exam.

Hi, I'm in a similar dilemma. I want to leave the bank but I'm not sure if an IIM/MBA will help later. How are you so confident about giving up the security this job offers? What if the other option turns out worse?

Take the CAT while working; your work experience will offset a low graduation score.

You have a 7/8/6 profile. It'll be very tough to crack top IIMs even with work experience.
