First year students of SCMS Cochin were recently given important lessons in teamwork through practical exposure in the form of a three days’ outbound training program. Held between 10th and 16th March on a campsite in Coimbatore, the program conducted by LEAP Training Academy involved several activities and tasks that helped students understand the importance of teamwork, which is crucial in their future managerial careers.
Hello there! Pat yourself on the back a little because you have stumbled upon the right place to know all about the upcoming 300 acre Balicha Campus at IIM Udaipur. As prospective managers embark upon their MBA journey and work their way through assignments and presentations towards completion of the first trimester, the campus too gets ready to host its new occupants. The campus will be more than ready to house the students and faculty, with plenty of amenities operational, as well as planned in the near future. IIM Udaipur holds a standing reputation for being absolutely uncompromising on the quality of education and lifestyle it provides to students. Let us give an overview of the facilities we enjoyed at MLSU.
The Matrix Club has been established by the students in order to provide increased awareness of the various career options and opportunities in the IT / Systems industry for management graduates. It is an excellent platform for future technocratic managers to collaborate and hone their skills through various events and activities in the domains of IT Consulting and Services, Business Development and Software Products Management. It also helps students gain exposure to hands-on work experience and relevant IT certifications through industry partnerships and project work. The Matrix club publishes periodic newsletters that highlight the latest trends in the technology sector and also organizes seminars and guest lectures by eminent IT industry leaders to portray how technology is leveraged to solve critical business problems.
With the coveted MBA degree from XIMB safely stored in the folder marked with title “Degrees, Certificates & Mark sheets”, euphoria of graduating from a reputed B School gradually diminishing and with ample time in hand which was unthinkable in a fast paced MBA program, I look back at the journey which lasted slightly less than 2 years and ask myself what exactly are my learnings from this journey. I wonder, Is it classroom learning? No. What did I learn from the heap of management books? Not much. Did the case studies make the difference? Not really. Then what is it?
On the flight to Bangalore, twenty thousand feet above the clouds that were ten thousand feet above ground, I was mentally preparing myself for the Internship battle which was in front of me. My Internship location was Kochi, but I decided to drop by at Bharath’s (my friend from Infosys) Place in Bangalore, not because I wanted to meet him. It was more in a hope that I might get a chance to meet my Ex. For an year old Break-Up I think that was too much to ask for.
Aesthetically appealing, accessible, soulful, lively and one of the most happening cities of India….!!!
Life of pi revolves around the perception of people but the same is not true about the life of a PGP. The life of a PGP student from a top notch b-school revolves around the pillars of academia named cases, assignments, presentations and quizzes. There is a sense of fear tinged with a drop of enthusiasm instilled in every moment when a deadline for any of these approaches and a ‘true PGP’ has a knack of handling the same. But, to get ready for the corporate this rigorous obstacle proves to be the foundation stone to build upon for a robust career to follow. Initiating with the day one joins a b-school the first thing that one faces is the challenge of presenting ones brilliant ideas and notions in front of a highly qualified and analytic audience. Every minute action, gesture and communication is closely observed and this creates a huge cloud of insecurity hovering over the minds of individuals. The atmospheric pressure inside closed rooms aided with projectors, collar mikes and slide changers starts getting on to one’s mind then. What makes one stand out then? What makes one appear to be comfortable and rigid as well as flexible in front of these people? It’s nothing but practice. A B-school prepares one to sustain this pressure. Starting from the night sessions where one presents in front of one’s peers without any severe repercussion on failure, to the highly evaluated ones in the term courses under the vigilant faculties, a PGP only gets better in presentations. Ranging over a diverse set of topics from different domains a PGP is forced to step out of one’s comfort zone and deliver under challenging situations. Presentations hence form an important pillar in the life of a PGP.
This season we bring you the second part of our series “MYRAcles”. In this part we talk to the young talent at MYRA School of Business, Mysore and share some interesting experiences that they had at the school.
