How To Start Your MBA From A Vantage Point

A lot has been written about dos and don’ts before joining a B-school, how you should utilise your first few months etc. One thing which all the articles highlighted is the importance of academics and it is highly justified. Most of us (read all) join a b-school for good placements and academics do play a vital role there. The converts list of all top b-schools is either out or in the offing and the energy level in candidates shoots up during this time. Everybody is preparing himself/herself for the 2-years ahead and is looking for ways which will give him/her an edge over others. A significant percentage being freshers just doesn’t know what to do. Focus on channelizing this energy into the right direction and you would make most out of your MBA. Here are few things to keep you busy for next one month:

How To Crack The CAT - For Dummies Version

A year ago I would not have imagined giving advice of this sort or any sort, for that matter. However, almost a month ago I converted (I have no clue why they call that) to IIM(s) and my life changed.

How To Make The Most Out Of The First Two Months At A B-School?

The first few months of an MBA life can be extremely daunting. For many, the MBA is a comeback to student life. For others, it is just the next step in their student life.

How To Crack The MICA Interview? - Harsh Bhatt's Interview Experience

After the failure of CAT/XAT 2015, I had decided to give these exams one more shot, amidst all the hype & hoopla of MBA exams, one which uniquely stands out is MICAT, the format itself is quite different and tries to bring the best out of a candidate while checking almost each and every aspect which makes him/her suitable for the management course. The exam is of 190 minutes, yet by the end of it, you feel surprisingly refreshed instead of frustrated or overwhelmed, that's the beauty of MICAT.

The Assets And Liabilities Of Newness - IIM Amritsar

I could start this article with how I touched the 99 percentile mark, how I was downhearted with the few calls that I got, how tough it was a decision to join a new IIM and how I landed up at IIM Amritsar. But, I think that is everything that every MBA aspirant feels at some point in time and you all are familiar with these. So, let me take you through a narrative that will make you know these "New", "Baby", "Budding", "Developing" IIMs better and probably help you in selecting a b-school.

It's Not About Having Time, It's About Making Time - SSR Initiative At IMT Ghaziabad

They say volunteering does not need time; what it does need though, is the heart. Truer words were never spoken. We all want to give back to the society but somewhere we always end up getting lost in achieving this goal as more often than not we are hindered by our own thinking “How is my little contribution to the society going to make any difference?”. The fact of the matter is that the difference one single person can bring is, indeed, not so significant but these little differences culminate into something that could possibly bring about the change we all strive to see in our society. What matters, in the end, is that we do OUR part sincerely.
