Have you ever thought as an MBA aspirant, how life would be at a B School, what to expect out of the 2 years and whether you would be an able fit? After joining your MBA programme, having completed a year, do you feel you do not belong there because you are an average student? If yes, then this article is dedicated to you, my friend!
I guess its time you guys know about IIM Kashipur! The IIM in the North...
The mounting tension of the results for the colleges, which one to choose, location, placement or faculty maddening to quite an extent.
The cry of over two million eager, relentless and ever restless Indians to the overpowering might of TRAI and Telecom providers like Airtel is testament enough for change and proof that India in all its glory requires net neutrality now more than ever.
There has been a lot of talk about where is Kashipur , I mean sure it’s located in one of the most beautiful destinations of India , Dehradun, Nainital, Bhimtal and of course Jim Corbett is just a stone’s throw distance away from the college, But is it safe to be there?
Though it has been one whole year since I joined IIM Ahmedabad, I thought it would be worth sharing my experience for those who might find it resourceful. I still remember the D-day, when I reached the venue, all suited up with an elegant Executive file to display the certificates. I entered the Hotel and saw the sign Board – “IIM Ahmedabad Interview” pointing towards a Hall room. As I entered, I saw my competitors, all suited up ready to impress the panelists with their charm and knowledge.
My summer internship is all about B2B Marketing. Studying for one year in IIM Kashipur, having read 75% of Kotler. I used to wonder, without a specialisation in Marketing how will I be able to understand and excel in my summer internship. IIM Kashipur no doubt has got the magical marketing pixy dust, which even an Operations, Finance and HR enthusiast gets automatically. We don’t ask for any research papers or world famous case studies, because we get them all as a part of curriculum. Case study discussions are so much fun that you don’t feel like blinking even once. Professors tell you concepts and scenarios which are based out of their own industry experiences. At times it becomes difficult to understand whether it is marketing class or a strategic management class combined with finance pinch as well. The professors treat us not like students but as managers so speaking without prior knowledge, faking any concept, going unprepared for a case study discussion makes your class the worse. I think inspite of having spent little time, if I could perform good in the B2B projects given as a part of my summer internship, I really wonder what are we going to become after taking up the core marketing subjects in the coming trimesters.
By now, most of you would know that Flipkart has deferred the joining of new hires to December 2016. Graduates from across top schools in India are furious. Placement Committees across IIMs are seething too.
