The very first time that I encountered a framework I felt my soul rebel. It seemed such an artificial construct designed to contain and constrain my creativity. But as time progressed, I learnt more and had to write more and more project reports, I realised I had been unfair. Frameworks are invaluable tools of trade for anyone looking to establish, evaluate or run a business.

A B-school has many more activities and experiences on the professional front apart from the academics, placements and case competitions. And like in all of these fields, competition is intense everywhere. It is no different when it comes to the year-end awards given by the institute. Apart from the awards given for brilliant academic performance, there are a few given for extracurricular achievements and leadership abilities. A rigorous process is followed, which includes nominations from the student community, followed by them voting for the selected nominations. The winning students are then felicitated by the institute during convocation.
In general, time flies. People say that all the time. But time truly does step on it at a B-school. You hit the ground running when you join one. There are no warm welcomes and no gentle easing. It is a frenetic burst of activity and competition in the first few months until summer placements. Only after that do you get breathing space. Even after that, life can be pretty hectic. It depends upon your B school. It can be an IIM-A at one end of the hectic spectrum and it can also be IIM-C, which is at the other end. But all B-schools unite when it comes to creating an almost unbearable hectic period around and before placements.
