Topping the first year of MBA in an elite B school, in the face of fierce competition is one of the rarest of rare achievements. Most of us would agree that it even beats being a 100 percentiler. At least 80-100 people are gunning for top spot and these are 80-100 of the best minds in the country. No doubt topping the first year is such phenomenal achievement that all batchmates, whether grudgingly or otherwise, have immense respect for the topper. It takes great determination, self-control and consistency to do well in all exams, to avoid slipping up at any stage.
