Learning And Growing Round The Clock - MDI

Today, that is 15th July, 2018 it has been a month since I joined MDI Gurgaon. The first week in MDI was a week of “awe”, a self-realization that you have actually made it to this place and the sheer legacy of this place consumes you. Those stories you have heard from seniors, your CAT coaching mentors unfolding and showing glimpses of how a b-school life would be. As the induction week kicks in the reality check follows, sitting in an auditorium with a batch of 360, you realize that you have to face the competition against some of the bright minds of the country, not only for grades but also for club selections, sports team trials, class reps selection, you find yourself competing against the best in the country. Nothing comes easy and to compete is the only way out. For someone like me from a mediocre undergrad college when compared to my batch mates from IIT’s, NIT’s, SRCC, Chartered Accountants and a rare doctor, the realization of competing with them for even a single little credit made me realize the kind of competition I am going to face. Before I joined MDI the biggest fear that I had in my mind was that will I be able to make friends among people from top colleges of the country. But to my surprise, while working round the clock, submissions, activities and all the random stuff that came our way, I found people who were always there for me. From waking each other up to crying after feeling homesick, from making fun of each other to having meals together we turned into families. This realization dawned upon me during the KOK week. I was playing Badminton for my section and when the match started, my classmates turned up to cheer for me despite being sleep deprived, burdened with assignments and various other activities. It has been rightly said that “The great thing about new friends is that they bring new energy to your soul”.MDI is filled with amazing people from all across the country and it feels great to be a part of this institution.

IIM Raipur - Offering Doors Of Opportunities To Students

The most unique thing I would say about my campus is the doors of opportunities it offers to all students. These opportunities I believe are different from what most Colleges offer. The Campus constitutes a combination of cultures, ethnicities, and various other subcultures. I found the academic atmosphere most inviting. The Institute is embodied by the students every day is Integrity, Scholarship, Community, Creativity, and Excellence. These core values influence our daily decisions and allow us to enrich our campus. the student organizations further maximize the opportunity to expand social connections, encourage leadership, and make a difference in students’ lives. The classroom buildings, dorms, student facilities and the Basketball Court are all within walking distance.

The Exuberance On The Campus - MDI

It was midway through April that I had made the decision of joining Management Development Institute, Gurgaon. I had decided that it was the best place to shape my career and with fervour had accepted the offer. The initial scepticism I had about leaving my home for the first time was soon enough replaced by enthusiasm once I had interacted with a few of my batchmates informally before we joined. I was looking forward to being a part of the diverse batch that is offered by MDI and ready to carve an identity of my own amidst the crowd.

Chai Pe Charcha - MDI

A month ago, before my journey at MDI started, if someone had asked me what the most precious thing in my life is, I would have abruptly said food and sleep. No matter what or how, I made sure that I took out enough time daily to sleep. But here, the never ending deadlines (ironically) make us work even as late as four in the morning. And not just the deadlines, we have events going on simultaneously at odd hours. Just imagine we recently ran a marathon at midnight.

My First Day At MDI Gurgaon

It was 12th of May 2018, my first day at my dream campus, first day at MDI Gurgaon. I was very excited about the prospect of visiting the campus which was going to be my home for the next two years. What was more exciting for me was the fact that it was also my first ever visit to Delhi and to Gurgaon. I checked into the MDI campus at 10 AM on the same day. As soon as I entered, I was bowled over by the greenery all around the campus. The tall green trees, football field, and library greens were all fascinating. I checked in for hostel registration as soon as I finished roaming around and watching as much of the campus that I could have. I checked into my allotted room and was very excited about the prospect of living in a hostel for the very first time in my life. On the same day, after having dinner, I decided to go out and explore the campus furthermore. As I stepped out, standing in front of change masters hostel, I looked towards the right, and I saw a long road covered with lush green trees on both sides of it, and spectacular moonlight enhancing the scenery. I was mesmerized by the eternal silence as I covered the entire length of the road while walking alone. I felt detached from the world outside the campus and was completely engrossed in the beauty of the campus. I saw a park bench along the way and decided to sit there for a while. That’s when I saw the most amazing view of the library building across the library greens. The view of the library building under floodlights was scintillating and mesmerizing, and the first thing I did was to save a picture of the view. While sitting there, I realized how hard I had worked to be where I was and also imagined about the hard work and efforts lying ahead of me, so as to make my MBA journey a successful one. At the same point in time, I also realized how fortunate I was to be here in one of the top business schools. I felt motivated. Motivated to strive furthermore throughout my course curriculum and achieve my goal of becoming a successful marketing analyst. The field of marketing has always tapped the inner enthusiast within me. I am always triggered by how successful marketing enhances the market share and value of any product.
