This is my story and it is a story of hope.... "Every event has a purpose and every setback its lesson.

September is that time of the year when a few students go missing on Indian B-school campuses, while students from foreign institutes can be spotted.

Though this program begins during the final year of your MBA course, it is advisable to take a look at it right in your first year. Check out the pros and cons of a student exchange course below, starting off with the cons.
It is that time of the year again. The MBA exam frenzy has started to kick in.

It is also the time when one has to mound his preparation according to the exam at hand as CAT isn't generally the only exam aspirants focus on. There are other exams also like NMAT, XAT, TISS, SNAP, IIFT, CMAT and also GMAT in some cases. Each exam has something different and unique to be focused on for it. So as an aspirant, how do I encounter this headache of preparing for each exam but also not derailing from my main focus and preparation of the CAT.
Everything about a business school is artificial. We like to portray ourselves as liberal people with progressive thoughts as we are supposed to be the so-called “cream of the nation”. But we don’t let go of our judgmental attitude and hypocrisy that we use to fool ourselves every day. We are worse than those middle aged aunties when it comes to gossips, we literally go gaga even if a guy merely hangs out with a girl.
