'If You Go To An IIM To Earn A Salary, You've Started Terribly Wrong' | Term 1 At IIM Kozhikode

In the great Harsha Bhogle’s words, if you go to IIM to earn a salary, you've started terribly wrong. As he says, they come here to build careers. I have started terribly wrong and learned my lesson no. 1 at IIM-K.

A Letter From An MBA Alumna To All MBA Aspirants And Students

If there was just one thing I wish I could convince my aspirant self, it would be to believe that the dark, rocky road she was travelling on-that dreadful ambiguity, is going to make sense very soon. But, then I would just be spoiling her about the best chapter of her life yet. I would tell her to once in a while, give herself the credit she was due for arriving at the decision that she wanted to pursue an MBA, finding the determination to chase it and moving past all the random hindrances in the way that had no business to interfere with her journey. The day she would realise that nothing was ever random, that everything was leading her to the moment she converted a top tier B-School was coming very soon. Until then, I'll write her a letter and hope that it finds her well.

Life At TISS, Right As Rain

I write this as I try and smuggle the remainder of minutes left from an evening that is pacing to leave. The sky is full of clouds but free of rain, which is oddly out of character. The evening or the cow dust hour had both its empire and place in the sun but now, the light retreats. It races and traipses along the same slender branches of trees that fractured it into spangling shards. This coalition of endless scattered light rays march merrily into the sun that looks like a warm copper penny lost by someone high up in the clouds. If you observe the TISS logo carefully, you could perhaps trace similarly fascinating imagery! This is my attempt at chiseling away at the iceberg of a writer's block. In that glint, I reflect a speckle on #lifeatTISS. I will float a nifty disclaimer though- if I could say it in words, there'd be no reason to paint. We're all artists here!

B-School Competitions You Should Look Forward To

The knowledge and learning B-schoolers acquire from competitions can not only spark innovation but also give tremendous value to their CV. The prize money is good enough to cover a part of your MBA studies and it’s another kick to get PPIs/PPOs before you finish your degree. Apart from that, participants get full bragging rights and become the next big thing walking on the campus. Hence, B-School competitions are invaluable! Which is why we’ve compiled a list of competitions to help you navigate through the pressure of preparation and presentation.

Why Is The First Year Of MBA So Stressful?

Yes, the first year is a roller coaster ride. IIMs have one of the most robust curricula with more than 30 credits to complete in the first year. The IIMs follow a flipped-classroom approach. The students are supposed to read the textbook material for concepts, then solve the case and then attend the classroom for discussing what they solved. Students are expected to analyze a case and come with a solution before the class begins. It is then the expert faculty presents in the classroom. There are marks for class participation, and you are always under the scanner in the classroom.
