As the academic calendar of b-schools draws close, one more batch of MDI-Gurgaon is all set to take the plunge into their professional careers. For the purpose of this article, some of the graduating students were asked few questions when they have visited the campus on the eve of convocation held on 16th March.

The 28th Convocation Day at IIM Lucknow

They all were delighted with high spirits. Dressed in formals, they were standing in queues to receive their diploma. They were smiling and crying at the same time, cherishing the last moments inside the campus. The convocation of the Indian Institute of Management, Lucknow saw 658 students being awarded their diplomas by Dr. Devi Singh, Director IIM Lucknow and Shree Deepak Parekh, Chairman, Housing Development Finance Corporation Ltd. (HDFC) who was the Chief Guest on the occasion.

A Tale of Two Cs: The CGPA-Career Correlation

An aunt once asked me where I would be interning. I told her. She had difficulty pronouncing the name of the company and 5 minutes later was blissfully unaware of it. However she was very interested in knowing details of the other big companies who had come to campus and was visibly excited at the mention of a company she had heard of like a Microsoft or a Vodafone. This was followed by a long and exhaustive Q&A session on the companies’ hiring trends, historical data on their pay structures, opportunities of global assignments etc. (in short, something a senior consultant at the Hay Group should be adept at). And this strategic discussion on my job prospects ended with the usual exhortations to study hard, get a top percentage (I was too dazed to explain the CGPA), get a great job, and do my family proud.
