Is MBA hard to study?
Getting admission to a decent management program can be grueling. But pursuing the course is not that difficult. I know many people from different academic backgrounds, who completed their MBAs at the top 20% of their class.
Although it depends on individuals and how they face challenges. As the name suggests MBA is all about management of time, resources, people, situations. Try to understand the practical aspects of the subjects you study in your course and the course work will eventually become easy. Interacting with teachers and peers, reading current affairs regularly can help you a lot with your studies.
