MBA revolves around PPTs, Group projects, group assignments, etc. A large chunk of the marks one receives depends upon the group that s/he works with. If all the members in a group contribute to the best of their abilities, the results will definitely come out well. However, this is not the case with most groups.
Much has been said and spoken on as what is to be done during the two years of MBA, but there are some unsaid things too which a candidate should refrain from doing in a B-school.
As a CAT aspirant, it is imperative to prepare oneself for the decision of selecting the best fit institute. Not everyone is aiming the BLACKIS or XLRI. Sometimes even with a 99.5+ %le, people from little less financially stable backgrounds would opt for colleges with a better ROI rather than a better brand value. So certainly there is no generalized rule for selecting an institute. Pursuing an MBA is not only about the academic effort one needs to put in but also requires careful selection of options available since an investment of this magnitude is always risky.
If you thought getting through to a b-school was difficult, surviving it comes very close to it. Today, I have completed my first year at XLRI, and it was not easy. From failing at a subject to excelling at some, I have received grades which are spread across the grade spectrum. First-year MBA brings in a lot of drama, every day. In the midst of so much that is happening around you, there are some things which can help you stay focused, and I am jotting them down below.
“What’s the hurry to go to Mumbai? It’s hardly been 2 weeks since you stayed at home after your B. Tech got over. Can’t you stay for a few more days?”
“Everyone makes memories, we capture them” is what we fondly keep saying about the Shutterbugs, the Photography Club of IFMR. There is not a single event in the IFMR Sri City campus that is not covered by the Photography Club members.
The funniest thing about the economy is the relation between the value that is given to a commodity and the emotional dividends that can be drawn from it. We believe the diamond is more precious than coal because a diamond is costlier, but what if the prices were reversed? Will you still ignore coal?
