With this world moving towards god knows which direction, one thing can still be said with certainty, engineers love to “pursue” an MBA after their graduation. Now this is not to say there aren’t any outliers to this theory, but one can definitely say with 95% confidence that we fail to reject this hypothesis.
I asked myself a few months ago, “Why MBA?” but I had no specific answer may be because I might be had so many answers, maybe career growth or maybe to improve my managerial skills or my interpersonal skills. Whatever answer it was, I decided to go for it and worked hard to crack CAT/XAT including the GD/PI round in spite of the work schedule in my tenure at Vedanta Resources. A few days later I got an offer letter from Xavier Institute of Management, Bhubaneswar which is one of the best Business schools of India with a strong alumni base of more than 31 years. So I decided to join its league and be a part of this institution.
It was a hot summer day at IIM Rohtak. We were back from our summer internships, longing to get back to our learning mode and busy schedules. Each trimester seems to outdo the previous one with a plethora of stimulating concepts to learn and implement. The best part of this trimester unanimously goes to GBS (Global Business Simulations). Though we encountered a considerable number of subjects which involve implementing concepts in the real world in our previous trimesters, this is by far the most complex and most exciting one.
Pursuing an MBA degree at a prestigious institute like Xavier Institute of Management is no piece of cake. Assignments from day one and fierce competition among peers in a hectic academic schedule may ensure more than just a few sleepless nights. A seamless campus experience is vital in ensuring that students maximize their learning experience and obtain maximum exposure to the corporate world. So, what makes my campus unique?
After a yearlong preparation and strenuous rounds of GD-PI, I was given the opportunity to join XIMB to pursue my MBA studies. Being the most iconic institution in Eastern India with a legacy of more than 30 years, this place has produced some of the best minds in management throughout its history. My decision to do MBA was to immerse myself into a multi-dimensional learning medium in order to evolve and fine tune my management capabilities as well as follow my passion for higher learning. As easy it was for me choosing XIMB for my management studies, it was equally tough saying goodbye to my comfortable life in Bangalore for the past 3 years working as a Data Analyst for a banking giant but I was in for a treat. As soon as I entered the campus I was over the moon. The lush green and vast campus was everything I dreamt of before coming here. The batch was an eclectic mix from diverse educational backgrounds and places. The uniqueness of this campus comes from the rich cultural and social experience it provides its students apart from studies which helps them to become a responsible and ethical leader in the future. From the first day there was an electrifying energy throughout the campus due to sudden assignments to late night knowledge sessions, cultural events to sporting marathons and immersive lectures to corporate talks, all this in a matter of just 2 weeks!
The foundation of IIM Rohtak was laid on November 2009 along with the special tag of first IIM in North India. In these eight years, it had a tremendous growth in almost every sector such as placements, Industry exposure, Infrastructure, etc.
16th June 2018. 21:30 IST. As we were driving through the streets of Bhubaneswar, following Google Maps to our hotel, I was still confused about my feelings about finally starting B-School. Excitement mingling with anxiety, multiple thoughts were flogging my mind when I suddenly spotted a building proudly displaying the initials X I M B, illuminated in the dark. And at that moment, some divine force made me believe that it was going to be a crazy ride.
MBA. Three letters. A path of pragmatism, versed in the arts of finance or marketing or operations or human resources. They evoke a sense of gravity and intimidation.
