It’s that time of the year again – ADMISSIONS! As I look at yet another set of shiny, suited-up candidates looking at new ways to answer the question “Why MBA” without mentioning money in it, I am reminded of my own ordeals last year. What began as my idea of entering the big, bad world outside had me introspecting and reflecting on my own actions more than any other experience in my life.
Coming from a family of bankers, I have grown up listening to discussions of stock markets. Stocks were my breakfast, and Financial insights were my lunch while economics was served as desserts in dinner. The default news channel was CNBC, and hence, my eyes eventually learned to follow the fall and rise in stock prices. Tracking stock prices, running to call my father if there was a sudden movement in any of our picked stocks, albeit without much understanding much of it, became much of a hobby for me during childhood.
I hail from Tezpur, Assam. I did my BTech in Mechanical Engineering from Gauhati University. After my BTech, I joined Shriram Transport Finance Co. Ltd., initially started my career as a management trainee and later got promoted to assistant product manager in the working capital division of the company. I resigned with the same position in the company with the view of gaining more knowledge and exploring more into the finance domain.
Most of the MBA students are confused, about which field to choose, as their career option. There are many lucrative options such as FMCG, Manufacturing, Consulting, IT sector, Retail, Telecom etc. In my professional career, before joining the MBA, I got the opportunity to work in Manufacturing as well as the Consulting sector.
The journey from being an aspirant to getting into a b-school has many levels. The first level is to crack the examination, after which you ascend to the next level - GD-PI. It is in these rounds that candidates are further shortlisted before they finally get a ticket to their dream b-school. Interviewers are not only looking for your academics and scores but also your interpersonal skills, your long term goals and your motivation to pursue an MBA.
The IMI New Delhi Final Placements report for the Class of 2019 has been released!
We are in the MBA admissions season, and for some, it is imperative that they get into a top management institute in 2019 itself.
We all know how hectic B-school life can get. With pilling assignments, long and strenuous lectures, never-ending projects and pressure to get a good placement offer, multitasking gets embroiled in the system of students. In the process, they often tend to neglect their mental health and lose focus of their inner compass.
