The Bittersweet Feeling - The End Of Year 1

As I write this, barely a week is left for the IIIrd Term to end, which marks the end of my Ist year of MBA. To say that it has been a roller coaster ride would be both a cliche and an understatement. A time for contemplation and retrospection, I find myself at a point where so many changes are traveling towards me at a lightning speed and I am thinking of all the changes that I have already absorbed. Every day here has shown me a new side of myself I didn't know existed and I continue to surprise myself. The dynamicity of this place has changed me and I will never be the same again.

The 5 Types Of Students You Meet In A B-School - DC And Marvel Edition

If you think a b-school is just like your college, think again. Not only is the learning style divergent, but the type of crowd you meet here, the type of friends you make here is very different. Starting from your go-to person for every situation- be it for career guidance, elective gyaan, project KT, relationship advice, etc. to the person who only does DCP (desperate class participation, a term we use in b-schools) in every class, you will find some of them amazing while the others irritating. But the journey with each one of them will be different and worth counting for.

The DOCC Diaries - On Visiting NGOs And NPOs In Remote Locations

After the taxi dropped four dusty figures on the Uttarkashi bus stop, we entered the designated place of accommodation only to discover that it surpassed our wildest imagination. Sadly, not for the better. The blankets smelled not-so-heavenly, the bedsheet had holes and a dismal yellow light flickered seemingly bemoaning our arrival. As we stood, slack-jawed by the door, the wind playing with our hair while river Bhagirathi went its way gurgling happily, we stroked our chin thoughtfully wondering what we could do to atone for this divine manifestation of old karmas.

A Glimpse Into the Initial Life At A B-School - Soman Pochhali, IIFT Delhi

I had written down the following article at the beginning of the IIFT's academic session which captures my journey in the initial few days. Any aspirant, when he/she joins a b-school will go through something like. My only advice to those joining this year will be to go with the flow, it may seem like a totally different world where you will have a motley of experiences – some sweet, some bitter and some even sour, but trust me, you will end up loving these days. So here it goes –

A Farewell Letter To Streets Of IIM Bangalore

(Every campus has a set of building, architecture or culture that defines the institution. For IIM Bangalore, it's the 'Stone Walls'; but then, there is one more special wonder in this campus, it's beautiful streets surrounded by mesmerizing greenery. This letter is a tribute to those streets, not only in IIMB but also in the other campuses as well, which shows a path to thousands of lives, literally.)

A Hidden Gem - DMS IIT Delhi - Siddharth Chaturvedi, Class of 2020

It’s that time of the year again when we start getting the interview calls from our dream B-schools. I was in the same shoes last year and had final converts from some good colleges like MDI Gurgaon, IIM Trichy/Rohtak/Udaipur and DMS, IIT Delhi. Choosing the best among them based on my expectations and credentials was a very difficult choice. Before going further, let me begin by describing my background before joining MBA.

From Corporate To Campus - Learning To Unlearn At IMT Ghaziabad

I was a starry-eyed kid when I joined my first job. Fresh out of college, we were a bunch of motivated millennials who were excited to work in their dream company. Setting foot for the first time in a swanky office of an MNC made us jittery. We were all wondering how we will fit in with these professionals!
