Abstract: In recent years, the number of MBA graduates entering the job market has increased substantially. However, there remains a notable mismatch between the skills imparted by academic programs and the competencies demanded by industries. This article critically examines the key skill sets sought by employers and evaluates the preparedness of MBA students, with a particular focus on General MBA and MBA Business Analytics (MBA-BA) streams. Through a comparative study backed by primary and secondary research, it offers valuable insights and actionable strategies aimed at bridging the skill gap and enhancing industry readiness among graduates.
