Student? Teacher? Friend? Mentor? Maybe All - Mentorship Program Tale At SPJIMR
“Mentoring is a brain to pick, an ear to listen, and a push in the right direction”

MBA like T20 cricket can be a glitz-edged invitation to innovate and improve. The pre eminence of the shortest format in cricket is no surprise, it yields results where the margins are even finer. Similarly, it is important to envisage the need to differentiate oneself while performing the sport of MBA. This is not for the fainthearted as our competitors are as competent and even factors like form and luck play an important part. The different parallels that can be taken from the nail-biting, topsy-turvy game to the churn of MBA are the following that can be abbreviated as "BE GAME":
The two-year MBA program at SIBM Pune offers specializations in Marketing, Finance, Operations and Human Resources. The flagship program is designed to give the students a transformative experience with a healthy balance of Industry exposure and classroom learning. Unlike most business schools, SIBM offers a unique program where students start their specialization from the very first semester. This facilitates the students to get maximum knowledge and experience in their chosen specialisations right from the start. Apart from the major specialisation, students get to choose a minor specialisation in the second year to enable cross-functional learning.
Do you feel the cold breeze of love when you see your crush in the library? Is someone ruining your classes just because you can’t think of anything else? Who is your motivation for that one minute plank? What is wrong with your heart? Why don't you approach that love of yours? What is stopping you? Wait a minute! Why that someone is sitting and studying in the library without giving an iota of attention to your beauty. Maybe that person has other objectives in mind. The prime concern of your special someone may be to gain knowledge and experience. Wait! Did I break your dreams of corner seat movie tickets? If yes, welcome to the b-school journey.
Another year and another Sangram has passed us by.
My existence is a continuum, so I’ve been what I am at each point in the implied time period. Bye Bye, Oompa-Loompas of science, it’s time to manage resources with this esteemed MBA. I love the intricacies that come with intertwining myself with the complexities of the universe. Ladies and gentlemen, it’s an honour for me, Sheldon Cooper (Sharun Sanel) to be IMTagged.
“Network like anything. Among them will be your business co-founders, your best friends, your lifelong colleagues, and maybe your life partners!” said a senior on the very first day of the college. Networking is indeed one of the most hyped things at an IIM. Its importance can never be questioned. However, there are some dark sides to it.
This article (or story, as InsideIIM would call it) is for all those who have decided to do an MBA after reading all those awesome stories on InsideIIM and other websites. The awesome stories are more than enough in number that I need not add one myself. Instead, I want to show you the other side of the MBA 'coin', the side that is usually hidden from sight by the 'awesome' side of the coin. However, this is NOT to discourage you to join MBA. This post is also NOT a complaint or a rant or a judgement of what is right or what is wrong (this is subjective). Maybe many of my MBA peers might not like this article. However, some things in life are bitter but inevitable. Like medicines, for instance. And this post too. The aspirants must know the whole picture of what they are getting into. Here goes:
