The article would have had more credibility had it been written after you'd graduated instead of before. Nevertheless, joka is an amazing place and all the best for your journey.

Thanks a lot Rahul for posting your bio. Had I known that you have not yet attended a single class in a B-school, I could've saved the 2-3 minutes I spent glancing through the article.

Ok guys. The quality of the discourse is not befitting the places you'll belong to/ are going to. Any more personal attacks and we will have to close the comments thread here.

Some pointers:: MBA- It is not. Diversity -- Really? 92% Engineers MBA and full time job -- Not that I know of any top B Schools flagship programs which allow it IQ-- Yup .It is an essential qualifier.That's it .Sadly !! Humility-- You showed none of it in the comments and that's good :p. People in the comments being pissed - Because the way you wrote this article it looked like coming from someone who has faced it all or at least a bit .You are coming from an idealistic bookish way which people do not want to hear. But kudos again for making everyone believe you knew the stuff you were writing and did not read it somewhere in newspapers/books/articles and just presenting it in a feel good way using your recently improved grammar skills to use :p Some traits of the successful managers that I have the opportunity to work for ---Fighting for every inch ,being structured,smart,good communication skills ,the right amount of arrogance and being charismatic. Also conveniently leaving out Chetan Bhagat .That guy is a legend .

The views of the writer reflect lack of proper research and understanding of the context. The points put up by him are highly immature and polarized. Hope to see some quality content from InsideIIM.com in future.
