Hello, First Year Students! Congratulations on cracking the tough rounds of GDs and PIs and making to your dream colleges. For the ones who did not get the college they wanted, chill! You still will be shot at with umpteen opportunities - one of the most important being the Summer Placements. This article will be targeting the aspect of preparations, related to the Summer Placements. I will be focusing on some key points and also share my experience briefly. No matter what one says, the Summers are a fundamental and significant part of one's MBA. For the freshers, definitely a duel to fight for. Following are the areas where the preparation part is primarily concentrated - So yes, all these points above will consume your patience. Trust me! Handling everything, in addition to the academic quizzes and projects, becomes cumbersome and hefty. But again, you need to bear with it, because undoubtedly others will. Plus, they will fight (apparently kill, if it was legal). Even if you are opting out of your college's placement process (I know someone who landed up in Google, some motivation, aye?) the above points will still stand effectively. So, try to calm yourself down during this phase. It is not tough, just tiring, yet significant. For my Summer Placements, I was trying to focus on finance and marketing companies, and my preparation was aligned accordingly. Strikingly, my interview went entirely different and unexpected, and I landed at Flipkart. Stay focused and consistent. There will be enough companies visiting your campus. Even if do not get into your dream company, chill! Opportunities are not fading away. You can always try to get into that particular firm anyhow, even after your MBA, if it actually was your dream company. Rest, enjoy the preparatory months of MBA, for which you gave the beloved CAT! Good luck, people!
