Laimo Longrangers – History in the making

Laimo Longrangers – History in the making

Few weeks ago, certain brave individuals flamboyantly raised their hands to bid for the team they planned to manage but what could not be veiled by their enthusiasm was the evident jitters they felt regarding the task they were taking up. A task which was to be managed amidst the grueling schedule of academics and other student activities. A task which manifested befuddling interweaving of ambition, hope, pain, frustration, leadership, team-spirit and most importantly belief. Four mangers stood out and outstayed all their competitors. Let us relive their moment of glory.

Summer Placement – FORE School of Management, New Delhi

The placement season at New Delhi's top-ranked FORE School of Management is giving the 2014-16 batch a reason to cheer. This year the placement process has been faster and extremely successful. More than 60 percent of the batch has already been absorbed by organizations like HUL, Asian Paints, Deloitte, PWC, E & Y, KPMG, Accenture, Cognizant, Dell, HP, Infosys, CapGemini, NIIT, HCL, Bank of America, State Bank of India and many more. Students have become choosy with many going in for multiple job offers. The estimated number of companies visiting the campus this year is expected to go well beyond 100. This would make the company-student ratio close to 1:2 - representing a wide choice of industry and functions to the PGDM and PGDM-IB class. There is a good representation of all sectors from the industry making it easier for students to find employment with their desired organizations. Traditionally consulting companies have had a strong presence at FORE. The average CTC being offered to the students is higher than last year and should end up recording a jump over the 2015 number of Rs 8.2 lacs. Several students are being offered over Rs 14 lacs per annum package this time around.

I Was A Good Student. It Is One Of My Biggest Regrets.

I Was A Good Student. It Is One Of My Biggest Regrets.

I have been in a very reflective mood lately and one of the things I have been thinking the most about is my education. I was a good student and while that may seem like a good thing, it is actually one of the biggest regrets of my life. When I look back at my school days, I can’t recall friendships, pranks, crushes or boyfriends with the same depth as I can the exams, scheduled tests or results. I never learnt to celebrate a 29/30 in a Sanskrit exam-I only knew how to sulk about not getting full marks. I never learnt how to be a gracious loser and clap for the person who beat me in tests….I only felt a wave of jealousy and humiliation at being beaten. I never realized that in life, what matters in humility in victory and grace in defeat…but God has his own plans and it took me years of insecurity, competitiveness and personal, academic and professional failures to make peace with the fact that one can’t and shouldn’t always be first. Sometimes, being first makes you win the battle, but lose the war.
