College, Clubs And Committees: Co-Curriculars At A B-School

Life in a B-School is a steady mix of academics, internships, corporate interactions, case study competitions, and extracurricular activities, and all students are engaged in some of these (if not all) in different permutations and combinations as per their personal interests and inclinations. If one had to largely lay out the broad concepts of the kind of committees/clubs/cells that a traditional B-School has, you could classify them under four broad themes based on various activities:

Friendships During MBA: Evaluating The Risks And Returns

When you are pursuing an MBA, you can’t help but wonder whom you can befriend and whom you can count on – because let’s face it, everyone pursuing an MBA will obviously be focusing on their own success strategies. Be it academics, or competitions or even club selections – there is going to be a cutthroat competition for grades as well as PORs.

Why We Take Pride In Calling Ourselves MICANs!

The year is 2015 - right in the middle of my placement season while I was still a sincere undergrad student, battling my destiny of landing a typical IT job after trying miserably to become a certified Mechanical Engineer. While I had failed as a Mechanical Engineer, I had succeeded as a communicator and a Manager, in different roles, across different areas, with Toastmasters being a huge part of my life there. And like every pseudo and scared Mechanical Engineer, I too got sucked into the idea of an MBA right after college, and like everybody else, I joined coaching to hone my skills for the entrance exams I was forced to apply to.

The Art Of Living And Beyond

Ever thought of being spiritual early in life? That’s for old people, right? So were our thoughts when we were made to compulsorily attend a session with Art of Living. Who cares about spirituality at this age? I can proudly say, that I was wrong. We are inherently spiritual, and that realization was just the starting point of our journey with the Art of Living team and their two and a half-day full-time happiness program.

The Curious Case of Housekeeping Staff At IFMR GSB Krea University | Bhavith Sunkara

One month into my MBA at IFMR, the thing that fascinated me the most was the way housekeeping staff worked at IFMR. They handle the cleaning and mopping work in hostels, dining area and the faculty residences. Most of my friends were amazed by their work. One guy left his wallet open on the bed and left for classes. By the time he returned to his room, the wallet was folded and kept on the study table with no money missing. Another guy was amazed when he saw his shoes arranged in an order. He even chuckled saying “dude, even my mother doesn’t do that”. Instances like this show that there is a sense of virtue among the staff.

A New Chapter - IIM Jammu

Just like any other MBA aspirant, I also dreamt of being in an IIM and so, I began preparing for CAT and after the long selection process, finally, I landed a spot at IIM Jammu and then the first disappointment hit me - "Jammu isn't cold"; I repeat! It isn't cold, so everyone who has a misconception just like I did, get your facts right. I mean it is extremely cold in winters but it's also very hot in the summers.
