B-schools are the perfect cauldron of people from all the spheres of life, yet: carved out to fit the extroverts of the world. A typical day at a B-school means 24 hours of social interaction in the name of peer learning, group assignments or committee meetings and while this situation might sound like a great learning experience, as an introvert with loner tendencies, I would prefer to be Buddha and find my learnings.
The first year of MBA life begins with a bang: understanding the culture of B-school via cultural events, networking with peers either in classes or committees & clubs, getting tuned into the regular lectures, and professors of the college. The first few months are amazing as you get adapted to the new life, reliving your college days again. But every bean has its black; thus, the stressful days begin when it is the time for getting placed for Summer Internships and the companies start coming on the campus in search of the most eligible candidate.
If I am asked what IIM Nagpur has given me, apart from the quality education and lifelong memories to cherish, I would feel elated to mention about the platform that IIMN has given me to stand up. From being an introvert to what I am today, IIM Nagpur has given me millions of learnings in the course of my Presidentship for Students’ Affairs Council, without having to lose my core identity.
MBA is more than just a degree, it’s an experience. And gender diversity is a part of that experience. Wouldn’t you feel weird if everyone in your campus talked, dressed, ate or even moved the same way? Gender diversity is not just a “feminist” thing. It is your right to talk, meet, greet, learn and even form relationships with people who live and experience life differently. And b-schools are wonderful places for that - to have different experiences, to understand and broaden your horizon for the diverse corporate world.
Winter is here. And it brings with it the tide of exams. The pressure is intense, and the air is thick with the smell of fear. The MBA train has arrived. Preparing for MBA is like travelling in an IRCTC train. You make the booking (register for exams) and expect to arrive at the destination. Never in history has a train started on time or reached on time. Sound familiar? It once happened to me that the train driver didn't turn up. Can you believe that? It took three hours to find a substitute. But, sooner or later, the MBA train reaches its destination. All it needs is a little bit of patience and perseverance.
There comes a time in your life when you are confused about what you are doing. About how the effort vector is not adding up in the right direction.

IIM Calcutta is the right fit for every single one of you. Want to know more about life in IIM C? Read this article to know more.
The journey of a thousand miles always begins with a single step! One rainy Sunday evening in 2015, when I was randomly reading up about the various b-schools in India, I accidentally came across TISS, not even knowing that I would land up there four years later. While my fellow TISSians have thrown enough light on the lovely green campus and the diverse culture of TISS, let me take you through my journey of making it to the M.A. HRM & LR program in TISS.
"I leave Sisyphus at the foot of the mountain. One always finds one's burden again. But Sisyphus teaches the higher fidelity that negates the gods and raises rocks. He too concludes that all is well. This universe henceforth without a master seems to him neither sterile nor futile. Each atom of that stone, each mineral flake of that night-filled mountain, in itself, forms a world. The struggle itself toward the heights is enough to fill a man's heart. One must imagine Sisyphus happy"
