The MBA Transition - IIM After IIT

As I set out on a journey of reflecting upon the plethora of twists and turns life has presented throughout, an oft-quoted dictum reverberates at the back of my mind, “You can’t blend in when you are born to stand out.” And what utility does a complacent life offer? Nothing, right! Ultimately, life should be the process of realising those aims that direct you towards establishing a distinguished individuality and innate uniqueness, simultaneously carving out a niche for yourself in the ever-so ephemeral environment. This piece primarily focusses upon a range of perspectives that constantly evolve as a result of experiences galore in motion, here my undergrad and the decision to pursue MBA and the transition in-between.

'It All Started With Mixed Emotions' - Shayaree Sengupta - Life At IIM Ranchi

As the cab entered the gates of Khelgaon Housing Complex on 15th June’17, I peered out of the front seat car window with eyes full of anticipation and anxiety for what lies in store for me in the next two years. Fast forward one and a half month, I am already done with my midterm exams today as I start pondering on my journey till here. Not much before, on a pleasant day in May, the Gods decided to smile upon me and grant my wish of converting IIM Ranchi in the first list. And now I am here sitting in my room at 2:30 am contemplating on it. So, you must be considering me as insane, thinking who sits up till 2:30 am to start writing an article when you have the whole weekend ahead. My dear friends, this is the consequence of having sleepless nights since 17th June’17 and now if you get a single night with a somewhat lesser load of work, you remain awake till 4 am – not because you are in love, but because you have become a nocturnal mammal.

The Game Has Just Begun - Life At An IIM

It is going to be 2 months here in IIM Bangalore campus in few more days but it feels like we have been here for much longer. With a plethora of assignments, presentations, projects, and workshop, the time has just become an illusion. The path to this prestigious Institute was strenuous no doubt, but the zeal required to excel in this institute is humongous. All the students here have been the best in their field and hope to continue to do so in this Institute. Why shouldn’t they? After all, every one of us here has been a topper and a champion in some part of their lives.

Living Life The XL Way - Live A Little More At XLRI Jamshedpur

The taxi stuttered to a near-stop as the huge gateways flanked by uniformed men were flung – well, more-fractionally-than-wide open, and thus began my journey in XLRI - early in the morning, in a rickety taxi loaded with more stuff than it could honestly hope to carry; with me nervously staring ahead and my mother excitedly taking in the sights of the place she’d come to dump her prodigal offspring off in.

A Roller Coaster Ride Called MBA - Learnings From My First Two Months At IMT Ghaziabad

Almost two months ago, as I entered Room No. C-401 of the new academic block for my PGDM registration, I had a lot of questions in my mind- Would I be able to cope up with the curriculum of the course? How would my classmates be like? Will I be at a disadvantage vis-à-vis my peers who had work experience? Would I be able to sleep?
