25th June is the day which I will never forget in my life. I left all the worries regarding my carrier and came to Kolkata for pursuing my dream of MBA from an elite B-School of INDIA in IIFT. Entering into a b-school is a different experience all together where work culture is different from a normal engineering college. The first thing of realization is campus itself. The first thing I realised was the huge curved wall that stood like a mountain and my excitement was already very high. The lush green grass along with lake in the campus itself has made the campus. The campus equipped with artistically designed buildings and well‐maintained plush gardens and water bodies.
I got an allocation of my room from 24 th June itself. After that, I went to the local market for shopping. In the evening, I got time to know about campus be it be it the open-air auditorium, volleyball court or the favourite spot the Nescafe. I also got opportunity to meet with my batchmates. All of them were awesome in their respective fields. Among my batchmates, one crazy person which I remember is Hargun Singh. Due to his unique behaviour, He got noticed from day one of our batch and senior batch. Due to his jolly nature, I never miss my hometown friends here.
IIFT MBA provides specialization in international business. In today world of globalization everything is connected in world of business. So, it helps a person to become a global manager. It is one of the few B-schools in Asia where trade is provided as specialization. The Social Awareness possible way 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. I had calls from all new IIMs, SIBM. But due to all attributes which have been mentioned above I decided to go with IIFT and I feel lucky that I had taken the right decision at right time.
