Due to COVID-19, there is a high probability that the MBA for incoming students will be online, at least for the first few months. For second-year MBA students, it's already confirmed. For now, we don’t know what the future of MBA will be. We're stuck with the virtual mode of education, at least until there is a cure for COVID-19, and it's possible that virtual education might just continue even after that. So, what do we do? Either complain that “Online MBA will take away the essence of MBA” or master this new form of education and become pioneers of the future. If you choose the latter, then here are the 6 ways you can get the best of your MBA going online. If you're currently in the middle of your MBA, or have just converted your calls and are going to be joining your b school soon (albeit virtually), this video is a must-watch for you!
IIFT has released the final placement report for the MBA batch of 2020! This final placements season at IIFT was tremendously successful, with 107 recruiters hiring from the institute.

After having appeared for CAT 2018 and being extremely disappointed at my score (85.05 percentile) ,I tried cheering myself up settling for a mediocre college. I started feeding my mind that I must work hard in the institute itself and grab my dream job. But my dreams were too big to fit in this little box of compromise. Maa sat with me one day saw my tears rolling down and asked me ..”are you satisfied?” I did not want to make her sad and said yes. She gazed upon me ( a mother can see right through your soul). I burst out crying …”No maa… I am capable of a lot more .. I don’t want to settle.” She hugged me and said, “Why not give it another try . Vaise bhi tumhe pata hai na Koshish karne walon ki kabhi haar nahi hoti.” I was happy about the immense support from the family and was wary of the upcoming circumstances. I started to juggle my job and my CAT prep . I finally gained some ground around July and was able to handle things properly when she was called in for an urgent operation. Aghast I saw her on the OT bed and I can never forget the sight . I knew I had to handle the home now . The responsibilities more than doubled upon me . Right from cooking to cleaning ..managing a job and preparing for my dream.. I felt like the days passed in a blink. Tirelessly working since 4 a.m in the morning and crashing on bed at 10 in the night all for a fire burning inside me. I have to admit , I slept like a baby for those 3 months. I was managing on schedule preparations for the big day( CAT day 2019) and things were going well. I was so afraid of being stranded by the exam once again that I took NMAT as a safety net!
It all started on 2nd May 2016. My 4th-semester exams at NIT Surat had just ended. It was summer vacation time. I was happy as it was my birthday. But something better happened on that very day. I got a call from a Ph.D. student at IIM Ahmedabad. Yes! It was an interview call for an Internship that I had applied. After a week, I started my 2-month long internship at IIM Ahmedabad.
To ace CAT you have to perform well on D-day. To perform well on D-day you have to prepare well. So how do you prepare well? Almost all aspirants have weak sections, for some its VARC for others its QA and DILR, or some other combination. So how do you go about your weak sections? Do you play your game on weaker sections or stronger ones? Do you need to perform exceptionally well on your stronger sections so as to compensate with weaker ones? And finally, the most important question, How do you make your weakest section into your strongest section?
