Curiosity About 'What's In The Box'

It’s already been five weeks for us; the fresher’s to have been on the campus. And now without any hesitation, I can answer the frequent question asked by my relatives and friends, “Settle hua kya?” with a confident “YES”. Getting selected for IIM Indore was a dream come true for me. But the day I knew about my selection, I had mixed feelings. Being very happy for getting admission in this prestigious institute, I was going to miss the regular weekend visits to my hometown Alibag, just a three hours journey from my office located in Mumbai.

How A B-School Grows On You

It was a big letdown. It was only week 1 and I was already wondering whether I had signed up for the wrong thing. Perhaps I had not read the fine print. The campus was located miles from the city, the weather was preposterously humid and food seemed awful. Other fellow students seemed solemn and reserved. Well, I knew better than to judge a book by its movie or a college by its first week.

Life At IIM Kashipur

A new phase of my life began on the 27th June, 2017 when I received an e-mail mentioning the much-awaited confirmation of my admission into the Indian Institute of Management, Kashipur. It is known for its location advantage of being situated in one of the most densely industrialized regions in the country with over 180 industries having plants in and around the region. I had a short window to complete my further proceedings and life was never the same since then as I had my first challenge of managing my time constructively even before stepping into the college. I was already getting introduced to the slogan of the institute, which focusses on ‘Learning by Doing.’ I had a baggage of emotions primly being determined to perform at "The" place and that was accompanied a little bit of constructive anxiety.

Diversity: The USP Most B-Schools Forget To Sell!

For most MBA students, the b-school journey often starts on a very stereotypical note. It happens in an instant… stressful competitive exams, interviews in starchy formals and then suddenly you’re in! Almost overnight, your bags are packed to leave home. That’s when the gravity of it all hits you. This is it.

The Curious Case Of Class Participation

Once upon a time attending an early morning class at 10'o clock, half asleep I relentlessly scrounged through my case study looking for that paragraph. The one that is expected to be discussed next. Skimming through myriads of lines, I finally bumped on to something. As soon as the teacher moved to the next expected topic; my hands went up high. High enough to stand tall to talk about that one paragraph I read in class. That's the story of almost every class about "How I participated in Class Participation."
