A Day In The Life Of An SPJIMR Student
“The z-value is hence derived from NORMSINV and the result is used in determining whether to accept the null hypothesis or not accept it” – 17th June 2017, sitting in a class of 81 students and for the first time in my life, I asked myself if I really was as smart as the others in this class who are nodding to what is actually Greek to me. After 14 years of schooling and 3 years of undergrad, I had sufficient belief in my capabilities to sit in a class and understand what the teacher says (probably, understand in a better manner than many other students); but well, MBA at SPJIMR was now welcoming me warmly. A batch of 240 students who have always been amongst the top percentile in their classes, who are known to be the all-rounders are now my batchmates. Ironically enough, I found out later that everyone was thinking the same thing in that class – Am I good enough? And indeed, they are!

Breaking In At SIBM, Pune
With a lot of anticipation about how MBA life is going to be, I entered the gates of the SIBM Pune campus on the beautiful Lavale hilltop. Having spoken to many alums/seniors studying in college, I had a few ideas in mind about how the course is going to be, but it was the induction process that gave the much-needed insight of what to expect(and what not to) in the months to come.

The Ugly Side Of B-School Sports Tournaments
Sangram 2017; the annual sports meet between the south IIMs (IIM Bangalore, Kozhikode, Trichy and Vizag) ended on Sunday. It was hosted by IIM Kozhikode who were eventually crowned the champions. This seems like an arbitrary article up until here. But there is more to it than what meets the eye. Although the trophy was presented to IIM K at the end of the tournament, it would have been in everybody’s interest to award them the trophy at the start and then play the tournament! Read on to find out why…

5 Management Lessons From Group Projects At A B-School
The word “learning” has different a connotation for different people. Most leading b-schools have this concept of “peer-learning”, both formally and informally. And to incorporate that in the pedagogy, group assignments and projects are conducted. As fancy as it may sound, there is much more to it than what meets the eyes. To a person like me, who’s held managerial/mentoring roles in my previous organisation, group projects seemed like a piece of like. That was, of course, before I was actually a part of one.

Design Thinking - The Future Of Workplaces As A Course At SPJIMR, Mumbai
Designing umbrella carrying drones, women safety bands and product quality monitors in business schools? Whoa, that’s creative! But wait a minute, isn’t this supposed to be a ‘b-school?’ Isn’t ‘Creativity’ beyond the realm of b-schools?
