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!

Decoding Medusa At IIM Lucknow - The One On Greek Mythology

Isn't it fascinating when you realize that the things you considered so light (casually), has an interesting story behind it? The same happened with me a few days back. This is a popular landmark in Hel(L) and we call it Medusa. Medusa is a beautiful sculpture in the middle of the fountain, surrounded by luscious trees of a beautiful campus. A favourite spot for the selfie lovers and admirers of nature, I never knew it could have an interpretation or symbolism for it being near Chintan Block. I wonder if, whosoever placed this statue right near the Chintan Block had some strategic motive behind this? Was he aware of the story behind Medusa and wanted us to be familiar with it too?
