Sitting at the airport, as I wait for my flight, I can’t help but remember the amazing onboarding journey the E.L.I.T.E. trainees went through over the last couple of months. And suddenly I’m transported to the difficult task at hand – Writing about that one thing, across the five weeks that has left a deep impact on me, as a person and as a professional. It is extremely difficult to pinpoint at one particular thing, simply because the entire experience was beyond amazing – be it the chance to interact with senior leaders, the Pinnacle workshop to improve our communication & presentation skills or the week that we spent in France! But a decision has to be made – and I think I have made mine.
There’s a particular course that I’ve taken up this term which sits with me for various reasons. The course is unique in its own sense and very different from standard b-school courses.

Professor Neerja Pande and Professor Himanshu Rai take this course at IIM Lucknow.
To all of you applicants, who believe that lives at b-schools is really that hunkey-dorey, here’s a peek into what really constitutes the 2 years after you first get into a b-school.

Or is a deeper phenomenon at play here!
All of us are either pursuing MBA or are MBA aspirants. We heard and learnt a lot about marketing - Strategies, Product life cycle, BCG Matrix, STP - to name a few. In and out, we can talk hours about marketing concepts. But, during a summer internship interview for a reputed FMCG company, when I was asked how many types of marketing exists, I did not have a good answer. Next question was to explain some less-popular types of marketing, again I was only able to explain a few.
Workshops to Crack the CAT or other Entrance Exams and selecting a b-school are too myopic. Career decisions go beyond how much you score in your CAT or which b-school you select!
