Welcome On-Board! - Induction Week At IIM Sambalpur

It all started as a dream; one affirmative mail from one of the most premium institutes of India had propelled me into the realm of instant stardom among my friends, family and social acquaintances. The IIM brand, one of the most coveted brands for any student aspiring to have a career in the corporate world, had accepted me for their MBA program and instantaneously, I had transformed into the metaphorical ‘Sharma Ji ka Beta’, who is supposed to be an inspiration and a role model for learning among his contemporaries, according to Indian parents.

When I entered the much talked about red brick-walled buildings of IIM Lucknow, I was just another of the many starry-eyed engineers who had finally put behind her years of endless dry code, years of shop floor sweat and grime, years of a stream she may never have taken if not for ‘the kid next door’! A month into my MBA at IIM Lucknow, here are a few first impressions for all those engineers dreaming and working towards entering into the haloed portals of a top B-School.

Back To School – Trials And Tribulations Of Resuming Studies After Work

“You can be free after your 10th std. This is the most important exam of your life”, said the parent to boy/girl wonder. The 15-year-old kid beamed with joy thinking that the ordeal will soon be over. And that they will step into the brave new world as a free being. Wonder kid was expected to top the class, secure seat in the top institution, graduate with a 7-figure salary, marry a spouse of their parents’ choice and be the role model the world has never ever seen. This impressive castle of dreams was conceived even before the little one was conceived. Funny how most parents share the same dream. Math dictates that there can be only one first rank. Why can parents not accept the overwhelming odds that their kid could be mediocre? ‘Well, noooooo. Because it is my kid and my kid has my genes’. Ahem, okay, that explains it.

What Happens After Getting Into A B-School | Bhavith Sunkara, IFMR GSB Krea University

All my life, people have decided what I am capable of and what I am good at. For a brief period, I let them do that to me. But one day I decided that I must do something to prove all these naysayers wrong. It took immense courage and hard work for me to finally get into a good b-school. Four days into the business school I realized that CAT prep is just one part of the story. The next two years will be a different ball game altogether.
