This Is What MBA Schools Are For, Preparing You For Life - K J SIMSR

As I stepped into the Somaiya Campus, I was covered with an umbrella to protect myself from the Mumbai rains. As I peeked from the inside of the umbrella, the view was mesmerizing. The green gardens, concentric courses for running, the arena for sports as football, basketball, and many indoor games are a part of the campus, a rare view in a fleeting and bustling city of Mumbai.  Inside the K J Somaiya Institute of the Management Studies and Research (SIMSR), the Ganpati statue at the center imbibes the auspicious beginning of a great journey ahead. One can experience the peace and contentedness in its environment.

Corporate PPTs - Proof That Mediocrity Exists

If you are a B-School student or have been at some point in time, there is one thing which you would remember very clearly – the disappointment and irritation after attending every corporate PPT. A corporate PPT is like an iPhone. You can call it 6/7/8/X - they all are the same with some minor changes. What I am going to talk about are some aspects which every IIM or top B-School student will surely relate to. After sitting through 197024083 company PPTs on campus, this is what I have learnt about them -

Managing Management - Mentored By My Mentee - SPJIMR Mumbai

What is Abhyudaya? It was in my second group interview that I first heard of this term. One of my co-interviewees had mentioned it as one of the factors that differentiated SPJIMR from every other college in the country. Despite my (seemingly) extensive pre-interview research, I had no idea what it meant. So, I did the most natural thing – I nodded my head vigorously and hoped that the interviewers moved on to other topics (hint: they did not).

How To Make It Through Your Time At The B-School Like A Pro

It has been quite some time since all of us have entered the field of management studies. The whole point of a management degree is to put you through a rigorous curriculum that forces you to expand your limits and indulge into hardcore management of time and task to perform. We do cope-up with the PG degree lifestyle over the time, but let’s face it, all of us face setbacks occasionally. These setbacks come unexpectedly, they introduce a slack in our otherwise smooth flow of work and then all of a sudden, the equilibrium snaps and everything starts falling apart. One second you are this wizard who manages to put everything to place with a flick of a wand, and the other second you are nothing more than a circus juggler trying to balance on a unicycle. On occasions like these, one needs to let go and start all over again, it is okay to take a step back to plunge forward, and there is a lot you can do to keep yourself in the race, still fighting.

7 Things You Did Not Know About XLRI Jamshedpur

1. Bodhi Tree: People know Bodhi, people do not know XLRI. Trust me. I was one of them! The legendary band, the beacon of hope, the light in our darkness! The band was created by members of the batch of 2003-05. The original name of the band was Bodhi Sapling, and was renamed to Bodhi Tree in 2005. The band has given the Indian youth gems like sab ka katega, GMD, XL ki kudiyaan which over the years have become cult classics. The band is what has encapsulated the true spirit of XL over the years. We XLers believe that "in God we trust, in Bodhi we must!". But the band is not gone. It is alive and growing! New members are inducted every year and carry on the famed legacy.

Of Clubs, Committees, And Competitions: Making The Best Of MBA's Term 1

From the rumours that give life to scattered spots on campus to realities behind the closed doors where all the work and competition brews, life at a school never leave your grey cells unattended. As I was just getting accustomed to life at a b-school during my first few days the curiosity in me had my neurons pacing with what seemed like a time machine to the end of the next two years. The stories about competition, friendship, and everything in between start to make you doubt everything you might have expected, with their validity limited to the source. As you are settling into something you have worked so hard to achieve and are preparing yourself for all that is going to come your way, how do you make sure that you continue on the same path that you had set for yourself?
