Life At TISS, Right As Rain

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

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?

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.

My TISStory - Mathura Janani

My TISStory - Mathura Janani

Like the poem, ‘The road not taken’ by Robert Frost, about two diverging roads in the woods, I took the less beaten path, to stride along the winding cobbled pathways into an iconic B-School like no other, the Tata Institute of Social Sciences, Mumbai. True to its name, the Social Science Institute, surrounded by mossy fern adorned walls, instilled a sense of self-realization and opened my eyes to see the world through different lenses I had never explored before.

B-Schooling In The Heart Of Mumbai!

B-Schooling In The Heart Of Mumbai!

Like any other person, I came to Mumbai with dreams in my head and aspirations in my heart. I sought admission in SIMSR, a lush-green campus located at the heart of Mumbai and was looking forward to joining the same. As I reached the campus, within a week I was quite confident that I was at the right place and had made the right decision.
