As the academic calendar of b-schools draws close, one more batch of MDI-Gurgaon is all set to take the plunge into their professional careers. For the purpose of this article, some of the graduating students were asked few questions when they have visited the campus on the eve of convocation held on 16th March.
A business school basically serves to ready you for a career in management and fast tracks your career in the corporate world by providing you with the perfect launch pad. So whether it is the perfect investment banking opportunity or a sales stint in an FMCG, whether it a Leadership development programme in your dream company or a product development role at a leading tech startup- a business school offers you with an opportunity to achieve your target. What one can safely conclude from here is that management education readies you to work in the capacity of an employee. But off late we have been seeing a trend where business schools are nurturing serious entrepreneurs intent on being the employer of choice rather than an employee of possible choice.
Charles De Gaulle once very famously questioned, “How can you govern a country which has 246 varieties of cheese?”-a gastronomically and politically loaded question. Something very similar can be said in the context of India. And when you are in a meritocratic B-school like XLRI, you experience a mini-India with representatives from all states, in a student body of less than 600. In reference to the college, I take the liberty of framing a similar question, “How do you homogenize a student body that comes from 28 states and speaks multitudes of different languages?”
Celebrations and cheers continue to be written time and again in the cultural activities at IIM Udaipur. And the week saw a new addition in IIMU’s activities horizon with the second edition of the eagerly awaited food festival, The Food Fiesta - 2014 organized from 2nd – 6th March, 2014.

IIM Ranchi has got umpteen cricket enthusiasts who keep their passion for cricket alive even in the hectic B-School life they lead here at Ranchi. The Sports and Cultural Committee (popularly known as the SnC) of IIM Ranchi leaves no stone unturned to ensure that it provides the right platforms for students to showcase their talents. Ranchi Premier League- an intra-college cricket tournament was organized by the SnC in order to bring all cricket lovers together. The tournament was conducted in a format similar to IPL where teams were bought and players were bid for.
Alumni And Allies Association (A4) of IIM Udaipur organized the first ever alumni meet of the Class of 2013 of IIMU, FlashBack. The meet was organized on 1st March, 2014 in the campus. Flashback was organized with the motive of creating a feeling of déjà vu for the pioneers and to initiate a process of building an ever growing network of IIMU graduates. The meet had been organized as a day-long event so as to enable maximum interaction among the pioneers and the students within the IIMU fraternity.
Amidst the ever changing business landscape what would differentiate managers would not be the skills that they develop during the course of their academic and work life, but the combination of resilience and character. With its aim of building character and promoting value based learning, S.P. Jain Institute of Management and Research offers a unique course on the Science of Spirituality.
