My GDPI Preparation Story - Making It To SCMHRD

I started preparing for CAT in early 2019. Few months into the preparation rigour, I realised that getting selected by any decent B-school is like going through a double-layered sieve. The first part - giving the CAT and OMETs - is the sieve with the bigger filters. No doubt scoring a high percentile in these exams requires a lot of hard work, but the real challenge begins after obtaining a good score. Because one might be in the top 1 percentile, but if you don't convert the call from that coveted B-school, then all that effort goes down the drain and you either drop a year or settle for another B-school.

Depression Reached To A Level Where I Decided To End My Life - Gayathri S, XLRI Jamshedpur

Mental health is often the most neglected when we are put to a grind. For Gayathri, it became too much to handle during her undergraduate years. Studying away from family, the pressure of acclimatizing in new surroundings and proving to others that her decision of not pursuing engineering to go for mathematics was the right one, took a toll on her mental health. To an extent that one day she decided to end her own life! In this video from the REAL STEEL series, sponsored by Tata Steel, we have Gayathri Shankar from XLRI Jamshedpur, taking us through the ups and downs of her life.

"The Flea Market 2.0" At IFMR GSB Krea University|| Venkatesh Amara

“The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred with dust and sweat; who strives valiantly, who errs and may fall again and again because there is no effort without error or shortcoming.”

Autumn Internships Decoded - Why MBA At SPJIMR

“Why MBA?” is a question most MBA aspirants prepare for at least once. The answer to this question is, in fact, your shortcut to understanding your own career choices too! And while we are at it, let’s take a moment to speak about the practice of internships that b-school students must go through. This rite of passage though, is slightly different for SPJIMR students. SPJIMR students don’t go through summer internships, but instead they have something called autumn internships. This means, SPJIMR – PGDM students intern with top companies at the end of the third semester (Autumn/ Fall) and not at the end of the first year (Summer.) As a direct result, PPO and PPI offers have consistently been more than 40 % over the years. Intrigued? Check out what a fellow SPJIMR student has to say about autumn internships in this video…
