My Journey to DMS,IIT Delhi

My Journey to DMS,IIT Delhi

I came to know about CAT in my 3rd year of engineering when my friends started preparing for it. I too wanted to sit for CAT but then I came to know about the eligibility criteria of different premier B-schools that they look at your complete profile and not just the CAT percentile. Having weak academics I decided to work for few years and then give it a shot. My first attempt was in 2012 when I had around a year of work-ex and scored 81 percentile. Then I gave a serious thought to the preparation and joined an institute called Conduira 4 months before CAT 2013. This time I scored 99.2 percentile.

Chakravyuh'15 at IMT Ghaziabad

Chakravyuh'15 at IMT Ghaziabad

“Chakravyuh” the word itself brings forth the reminiscence of the antiquated war zone situation of Indian history. This term evokes the sense of wild rivalry, boldness and grandeur. At IMT Ghaziabad, Chakravyuh, the annual sports festival is no less than the war zone it symbolizes and has rightly built its reputation as the Olympics of B-schools in India. This event is being held as a custom since 1993 as a part of the 22 years old legacy of IMT to keep the sporting spirit alive. It has never failed to amaze the participants with its inexplicable splendor every year. The 23rd edition of this 72 hour non-stop sporting extravaganza is scheduled to be held from February 12, 2015 to February 15, 2015. This event would kick off with a four kilometer marathon on the roads of Ghaziabad tending to a social cause of “Road Safety” as a part of CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) of the event.

Won’t it be an amusing sight to see good-looking, well-dressed guys and girls off on the streets selling flowers, fruits and snacks or even offering rides on a cycle rickshaw on a Sunday afternoon? Well, this is what exactly happened when SOUL – Society for Objective and Unified Learning, a special interest group at IIM Ranchi, organized yet another successful season of Beg Borrow Steal for the students here.

10 Things Wrong With Business School Placements

10 Things Wrong With Business School Placements

It’s that time of the year again when most top schools are close to completing their placements and thus soon the season would come to an end with a display of the year’s best piece of creative writing – The Placement Report. While the year has been generally good everywhere and salaries are bound to increase on each campus, there are certain things I believe are fundamentally wrong with b-school placements. These are not specific to any campus but for the process in general.
