What Does IIM Udaipur Teach You?

What Does IIM Udaipur Teach You?

That was my first day in IIM Udaipur. I woke up with doubtful thoughts that whether or not I belong to this place. The confusion becomes apparent when you have so many other options in hand. Wondering all of it I opened up my window and saw outside. The soft orange colour was emerging from the green valley just in front of me. The mighty mountains with the cold and fresh breeze left me bewildered. Happily, I got ready for my first class. The first person I met became my friend within no seconds. Everything around made me question my doubt of being a stranger to this place. The very first morning and I was of this place. In IIM Udaipur.

'Mock Tests Is The Key To Crack CAT' - IIM Bangalore Student

As they say “It’s not the destination but the journey that counts”. And now as I stop to step into one of the important landing places of my life, IIM B, I sit and reminisce the journey to this place. The ride has started 6 months prior to the CAT exam. The distance was long and the terrain difficult but the focus was clear, and the destination decided. I did hit some speed breakers and reach some road blocks but was undeterred. The first few months were stormy as I had to battle to strike the balance between work and preparation. There were sleepless nights and stressful days. There were times when I hit low trying to explore new ways, paths beyond the boundaries and was left completely astray.  But I was motivated to the core to not give up. I fueled my engine with the confidence that “I Can and I Will”, no matter how many times I fall.

What Happens After CAT?

What Happens After CAT?

Swanky apartments, luxury cars and a pretty secretary in the office of a multi million company, this is what comes to your mind when you imagine your life post MBA. I started my CAT preparation with similar thoughts, investing two years of my life in an MBA courses and reaping the benefits for the rest of my life. But believe me, MBA is more than just the seven digit salary number. Returns are important but so is the decision of investing the efforts and time is. Through this post, I will walk you through my journey from preparing for CAT to landing up in IIM Indore or the planet-I as it is called.

What Is It Like To Be In XLRI Jamshedpur?

It’s been more than a month since I joined XLRI. It still feels like a dream. I still imagine the possibility that someone will come and pinch me and say “wake up”. But while I am living this dream, let me tell you how my first month has been in fairyland.

Musings Of A First Year MBA Student

Things happen at a much faster pace in b-school than I’ve ever imagined. There lies an element of surprise that you can’t get away with but can only try getting hold of it. Be it the surprise quizzes (by the time we were still surprised over our first quiz, came the second quiz), impromptu events and what not. Besides juggling between assignments, competitions and other activities everyone is busy testing waters in anything and everything, be it an introvert or an extrovert (although you could hardly differentiate between an introvert and an extrovert). After a month in b-school, I thought that the dust has settled until one fine Friday afternoon, during the last economics lecture before midterm. The professor explained the cost of production concepts and by the time he ended the lecture reinstating the importance of opportunity cost in decision making I was already nostalgic.
