So, here it goes.
The learnings from an MBA at SIBM-B are as under:
1) You can be sure to impress your managers and colleagues with a fancy PPT at the office
2) Every board meeting of yours will have four 'quadrants' depicting the ideal model of a concept.
3) You will finally know what words like "strategy" and "ROI " mean.
Of course, you may barely use all these as progressive tools throughout your career.
The real learning during MBA @ SIBM-B takes place outside classrooms. I had the luck of working with the SRC - Social responsibility committee and leading it. I got to see real concepts of management put to work.
Especially being in HR, these experiences turned out to be valuable to my career.
- Managing and working with a team
- Picking the right members for the committee
- Idea formation: We brainstormed and changed the concept of Utthaan at SIBM-B and the students' outlook on social work.
- Working with the SIBM-B management and leadership to get things done (around budgeting, resource planning and timely execution)
-We built strong relationships with external stakeholders like the Rotary Club and involved them in our activities.
I also actively volunteered for all the college events like TEDx, Revelations, Utopia, Street plays and saw what impact it could make. These, I would say, are the true learnings that one should look for and take away from SIBM-B. I urge you all to strive to gain these experiences because SIBM-B has them all.
All you have to do is look for it!
For me, it was not just an MBA. It was an experience.
