We understand your crazy B-school schedules and the everyday grind. And that is why we have decided to push the registration window a little more for you. The first Mahindra Rise Challenge, which received a thunderous response from campuses all over the country, would now receive registrations till midnight on July 5, 2019.
Some of India’s biggest companies only manage to cover a few top MBA campuses for recruitment to their coveted Summer Internship programs. We, at InsideIIM, don't believe that amazing talent can only be found at the handful of top campuses! The good folks at Aditya Birla Group have decided to give a chance to business schools across the country to impress them so they can add them to the roster of campuses they will be visiting for this year’s Summer Internship Placements season. ABGLP is one of the most coveted leadership programs there is for MBA students. For the longest time, they recruited only from IIM A, B, C, L, K, XLRI Jamshedpur, and ISB. Last year, IIM Indore won the ABGLP Woo Me competition and got ABG to recruit from their campus. You too stand a chance to Woo the recruitment team at ABGLP to come to your campus for Summers 2020. Take charge of the opportunity to intern with one of the most prestigious, one of India's largest, and one of the most successful conglomerates. Speak to the Placement Committee and register your campus before 30th June. It doesn’t matter what ranking your B-school has, it doesn’t matter how old or young your B-school is, it doesn’t matter in which corner of the country it is located in. This competition is open to all business schools. If your campus is able to impress the Aditya Birla Group, the Batch of 2021 will stand a chance to intern with some of India’s top businesses, rubbing shoulders with other interns from the top IIMs, and being mentored and guided by pedigreed professionals with a wealth of experience. Think you have what it takes to woo ABG? Here’s how your campus can win:
If you put ten bumble bees in a box, this box is going to mean a unique thing to each bee in the box. And if these are a rather expressive bunch of bees, you might also get to hear how peculiarly each bee made sense of that box.
I still distinctly remember the tension and nervousness in the room. Participants were staring at each other, hoping that it would be their team that would clinch the title. It was the moment we were waiting for - announcement of the winners. The next thing I remember is my team screaming with joy.
Corporate competitions are an essential part of any B-School student's life. From coming up with breakthrough ideas to learning how to apply knowledge gained in classrooms to a real-life situation, the entire experience of participating in and winning a competition such as ICICI Bank's Beat the Curve is one worth burning the midnight lamp for.
It was the summer of 2017, when I set on the path of becoming a business leader by getting an admit to SIBM Pune, right after completing my graduation. I was really passionate about curating and writing content, but destiny had other plans in mind. Joining a top tier B-School surfaced plethora of opportunities and opened new avenues to explore, but time was limited and I wanted to do a lot. I was faced with a big dilemma, or say a business challenge about where to put my means to have the maximum return on investment. Now, talking about the options at hand, my YouTube channel by the name, ‘Bibhav Singh’ had surpassed a thousand subscribers, on the other hand, academic and guest lectures were taking a toll on the diurnal cycle, and lastly my mailbox was flooded with corporate competitions.
At the end of each placement season, B-School students mostly get split into two brackets. Those who have got placements at companies where every other student wants to go to. And those who, even after securing a placement in a decent company, lament that they could not make it to the latter. So what exactly creates this difference in the students' mindset about particular companies!
