From a some-one to a no-one…At IMT Ghaziabad
It seems only yesterday that i joined this wonderful institution called IMT Ghaziabad. Time has flown by steadily since then. It was only my first day at this place and it was looking a bit weird, to be very honest. The infinitely long guest lectures, the emphasis on attendance, the twenty percent plagiarism rule, the chronic scarcity of sleep – everything utterly failed to impress the engineer in me. Then came the most dreaded part – Senior freshmen interaction ( a gentle synonym for ‘ragging’ ! :P ). It was around 10 pm. All clubs and committees started giving their intros. Some said they were the ‘heart of the college’, some ‘eyes’ , some ‘ears’, some ‘most visible on campus’ etc etc . Then came the ragging part which continued till 4 am. All in all, it was fun.

The Free-Rider Dilemma at B-Schools
‘Free-rider’ - this is one word all B-schoolers are familiar with. If we go by definition, ‘free-riders’ are people who benefit out of something without paying for it. Whether you hate them or are indifferent, you cannot deny the fact that their presence (or should we say absence!) in your groups does lead to a lot many critical changes in things like division of work, number of hours that you spend on your project/case etc. The primary reason behind free-riding can be attributed to a phenomenon called ‘Social Loafing’ according to which the efficiency of individuals decreases when they work in a group as the onus does not lie completely on them. Although, most free-riders show the same behaviour in terms of not turning up for meetings/discussions, not replying to messages, not picking up phones etc., the ways in which they do it is unique to every individual. Here is a non-exhaustive list of some common types of free-riders that we encounter in daily life.

Cracking B School Case Study Competitions
A major source of learning in MBAs is through case study competitions. It lets you do some of your most meaningful work. Solving real life business problems for Mahindra, ITC, Phillips or HUL gives you a great rush. There is also great motivation of huge prize money and PPO/PPI. Here is a list of things that help you get cracking at competitions.
