Iam pretty sure that the B-Schools would give you a lot of work. Work that your hands and minds are full and perhaps a stage where you would feel that the kind of work that is being given cannot be simply done by humans. Well, the bottom line here is that the B-schools want to teach you two things .
a) They want to make you seek out help from other students, generally thru study groups. This sort of team formation is exactly what business expect of their employees,so you should aim for a win-win situation. A B-school teaches you how to learn to learn.
b) Prioritize and Time Management: As an executive in the future, the potential work facing you greatly exceeds your time available to do it.You have to learn what is the most important thing to do and focus on them. A minor goal here would be to master time management.


One of the major goals that you learn at a B school is to develop skills and knowledge that are vital to your career, These traits are difficult to develop outside a B-School.A B-school not only teaches you softer skills like negotiation ,oral and written communication but also gives u the basics of the harder skills like the ability to price money,analyze currency risk,cash flow models etc. In addition, opportunites to build your skills in extra curricular settings will teach a lot.


Although academics are a substantial part of your MBA experience,there is more to the experience. Learning how to structure teams,motivate ppl,manage differences with ppl, and lead are all parts of the MBA exp.

The foundation for important relationshiops,,both for businnes and friendship,evolve not only during the teow years of school but over one's life time.

A portion of the time is spent in dialogues with professors and business executive that extend beyond the classroom presentation to meaningful exchange of ideas,opportuniteis and so on.This is a time in life to get the maximim of ur 2 year investment.Learning a language,exploring areas of interest that have clamored for attention and even travelling to new markets,insititute through exchange programs are some of the benefits,

In short, the long term goal is to make sure that it is just not academics that is worth the investment of ur time and money
