How To Prepare For An NMAT Retake

One of the best features of NMAT is that it allows you multiple attempts - you can give the exam up to three times in a particular year. This means that you get to give it your best shot. The college of your dreams is not determined by that one day. Now, your attempts are roughly three weeks to a month apart. It is critical that you use this time wisely so that with every attempt your score gets better. I would strongly advise everyone to give a minimum of two attempts. No matter how high your score is in your first attempt, there’s always the chance that you can score higher in the second attempt and thus have a better chance of getting into the college of your choice. If you don’t clear the cut-off, it is important not to get demotivated and remember that you have another chance.

Gamification In HR - A Game Changer?

Like most of the millennium kids, I too spent hundreds of hours into video games - from Roadrash to Call of Duty - with little to show for it in real life. In retrospection, I contemplate that what if there was a game wherein the more one plays, the better one gets in life. And as one levels up in life, the more rewards he gains in-game. Fast forward to today, you can see it the same - tons of “Productivity” apps on play store exist to make life easier, more productive and without compromising the fun part.

ROI Of An MBA : An Argument For The Intangibles - Siddharth Samal, XIMB

Investopedia says, and I quote - Return on investment (ROI) is a financial metric of profitability that is widely used to measure the gain from an investment. In the context of an MBA, the usual way to calculate ROI is to measure the “package” of your placement vs the total course fee/ expenses. Higher the package, better the ROI.
