Hello everyone, I am Hargun Singh from the batch of IIFT 2018-20. I hail from Bhatinda, Punjab and I was the first one to reach the campus and get my room allotted, which already set me apart from my batchmates. The first thing I noticed was the huge curved wall that stood like a mountain and my excitement was already very high. Also, as I am an expert swimmer, I was further made happy by the presence of the central lake in the campus, setting me in the right mind-frame. Along the lake was the lush green grass which added to my excitement. The campus itself is very picturesque with artistically designed buildings and well‐maintained plush gardens and water bodies.
After my allocation of the room, I got ample time to roam around the campus and get to know the bits and pieces about the campus be it the open-air auditorium, volleyball court or the favourite spot the Nescafe. In the middle of all this, I had no idea that I was being examined by my seniors. On the next day as the students started to arrive at the campus, I being a sociable person was there to help them out in whatever way possible i.e. from room allocation to getting their stuffs. My peers were in real aww of my helpful nature. I became a star attraction at the campus with everyone having something positive to say about me be it the seniors or my counterparts.
As the official joining day was getting near there was a sense of fear along with excitement with regards to what I would be facing. IIFT being a brand in itself in the field of International Business has some differentiating factors from other b-schools. It is one of the few B-schools in Asia where trade is given importance. The Social Awareness Program is a testament to the fact that creating modern day managers who in addition to being responsible corporate citizens are also compassionate denizens of the country and believe in giving back to society in every possible way. Finance is the life-blood of any organization and the Post Graduate Diploma in Financial Management module covers critical learning such as working capital management, international finance and mergers & acquisition among others.
MBA in finance will help me to enhance my knowledge about financial skills, business ideas, and economy of the country. Post an MBA degree in Finance I can get opportunities in the different sectors of the market. It offers a road map to get a better position and higher salaries afterwards.
