Time And Achievements Wait For None At A B-School

Time and Achievements in a b-school never go together. B-Schools are a stickler for time and we are thrown into a volcano of responsibilities right from the first day. Assignments and Case studies form the whirlwind with extra ocean currents of clubs and events. Yet, the lesson learnt in time is that we must make the utmost use of the 2 years, no matter how stiff the timetable is. 3 of us in MISB Bocconi took time out from our busy schedules and volunteered to enter into a b-school competition - The Mallennial Challenge organised by BestSellers, unBox Retail. The challenge was impeccably difficult which required at least 170 odd hours to complete.

'Persistence And Honesty Helped Me Land An Internship' - Richa Agrawal - IIM Bangalore

Ever imagined an interview where you believe you performed exceptionally poor and fear that the performance would leave a mark in your memory for a long time, but the interviewers liked you for your honesty and persistence. Ever imagined that you answered "No" twice to the question - "If you put yourself in our shoes, then do you still believe we should select you based on your interview performance?" and still they announce a "Yes" in the verdict. Truth is stranger than fiction indeed. Let me tell you the story of my interview experience during summers in detail.

XSRM (Earlier XIMB-RM) - The Travails Of A Future Rural Manager

"Development of Villages will develop New India" echoed the words of Dr APJ Abdul Kalam who planted the seeds of inspiration for development in my childhood which propelled me to apply for the rural management course in XIMB. After months of hard work preparing for CAT, I finally got admission into this hallowed institution. Yes, it is worth the hype and aura as I personally had the most enlightening experience in these five months. From the very first day, the seniors caught me unawares as they welcomed me in their inimitable style which is a legacy which has stood for the past two decades. This set the tone for the many surprises that the specialised course had to offer.
