Happenings Around The World – November 22 - November 28

And the one exam which had kept hundreds of thousands of aspirants on their toes for the past one year or so came, shook the world for 3 hours and went away in a jiffy akin to a puff of smoke. Some of the test takers are experiencing a delirious euphoria post the exam with the confidence of getting a score equal to or higher than what they had expected. Kudos for that but one should not forget that one more storm comes close on the heels of CAT every year – the Group Discussions and Personal Interviews rounds.

A Day In The Life Of An SPJIMR Student

“The z-value is hence derived from NORMSINV and the result is used in determining whether to accept the null hypothesis or not accept it” – 17th June 2017, sitting in a class of 81 students and for the first time in my life, I asked myself if I really was as smart as the others in this class who are nodding to what is actually Greek to me. After 14 years of schooling and 3 years of undergrad, I had sufficient belief in my capabilities to sit in a class and understand what the teacher says (probably, understand in a better manner than many other students); but well, MBA at SPJIMR was now welcoming me warmly. A batch of 240 students who have always been amongst the top percentile in their classes, who are known to be the all-rounders are now my batchmates. Ironically enough, I found out later that everyone was thinking the same thing in that class – Am I good enough? And indeed, they are!

What Are B-School Competitions For?

At a b-school, the most hyped affair after placements is the inter-college competitions. For some, they are just another added feature on their CVs, but for others, they provide a platform for quick and quality learnings and implying whatever learned in class. So this article exactly illustrates how not can tackle the overhype surrounding them by taking the correct mindset while approaching them.

CAT Didn't Go As Planned? Here's What You Can Do

With the reactions of aspirants on the atrocities of the Quantitative Ability Section gripping them in CAT 2018 - Slot 1, I am coming up with this article to elaborate why sincere preparations (mind the word ‘sincere’!) is not a waste. Positivity is one such artillery that the aspirants definitely need to have in their arsenal to deal with the current scenario. I am sure most of you will not have put all your eggs in the basket of CAT, and have registered for other exams like XAT and IIFT.

SCMHRD - Summer Internship At Philips Lighting

The memories of first day at Philips are still fresh in my mind. I met rest of the 17 interns from FMS, NITIE, IIM-I and the likes in a spacious conference room of Philips Lighting office at Cyber City, Gurgaon. We were excitedly greeted by our Campus Manager who took only minutes to make us all feel at ease and by the end of the day, I had realised that it was the beginning of a journey to remember for a lifetime.

Cherishing The Road Taken - Shiladitya Kar's Journey To NMIMS Mumbai

Let me give a snapshot as to how I landed up in a b-school. While I was pursuing my graduation at St. Xavier's College, Kolkata, being a musician I was greatly enthused to get big sponsors on board to make a name in college before our batch passed out. When I was a sophomore, I started working very hard for bringing sponsorship for various academic and non-academic fests in my college. You must be wondering why I'm writing all of these. In fact, these meetings with sponsors, getting them on board to make our fest a hit, writing proposals to them, converting one after dozens of futile attempts or calls made me feel ecstatic. Aah! This paved the way to my dream career in Marketing.
