Before I pen down my thoughts about Life at TISS and all that it entails, from my perspective, let me take a step back and pen down my current state of being as I think it will in itself speak volumes about what I intend to.
“Why Research and Development to HR”- this question still rings my ear. I have been asked this over and over again in all the b-school interviews I have faced. Fortunately, I have found a good answer to this question after coming to Tata Institute of Social Sciences, Mumbai.
Focus, focus, focus! Aware of the devious minds at work, the wheels of logic already in motion, I request you to kindly direct your attention to the first two words of the title rather than the final one, for this intriguing tale is certain to keep you on the edge of your seat.
There is surely a life beyond IIMs. No institute in this world has the power to limit an individual’s capabilities or decide an individual’s fate. Every year, the 99% of the CAT takers who don’t make it to the country’s most sought after b-schools must know this, that it’s never the end of life. Life must have better things in store for them.
"Yeah! Now I'll be getting an MBA degree!" This was my sigh of excitement along with hundreds of other students studying in IIM when they heard that IIM Bill has been passed by the Lok Sabha. This definitely is a special moment for all of us, as finally, the Indian Institute of Managements (IIMs) have now joined the league of “Institute of National Importance” just as the IITs and AIIMS. This bill will now give the 20 prestigious B-schools more autonomy, and most importantly will allow them to grant degrees to students.
Imagine an 8-year-old boy whose father’s business went bankrupt unexpectedly and he had to take debts to pay the school fees of his son. The same boy for whom owning a fancy geometry box was once a distant dream, now championing all odds walks into the esteemed Indian Institute of Management Rohtak, that’s Sukesh Kumar Thogaru for you.
As the b-school entrance exams season kicks off in a few months all the MBA aspirants will be busy taking the mock tests, revising and mugging all the formulas and analysing the strong and the weak areas. Here I will be sharing a journey of one such person who was a previous year CAT aspirant and now is in a top b-school.
The start of everyday is a new game to me, upon the field of my duties; but the immediacy of the hour leaves me no time for the pursuit of it, and at the close of my career I fear I shall merely have gone helter skelter through the current business of my firm and leave no permanent trace of my ever having been in it
