When Porter Meets Barney Stinson - The B-School Playbook

When Porter Meets Barney Stinson - The B-School Playbook

The moment you set foot in an IIM, the first thing you notice is the abundance of engineers. You wonder whether this is a b-school or an F-school for engineers. F stands for finishing (among other things). It can get a tad intimidating if you are not one of ‘them’. That was not a problem for me as I was a freshly (almost) minted mechanical engineer straight out of an NIT. Engineers come here in all shapes and sizes. On one hand, you have the guy who can weed out your percentile from the source code of a centrally monitored web page. On the other, you have that person, including yours truly, who cannot fix a fuse even if their life depended on it.

“What are the expected questions that could be asked in the IIM interview?”- a voice on the phone started my day and a realisation struck me. Almost 9 months have passed by at IIML, but it still feels like yesterday. The preparation for IIM interviews, getting into IIML, the induction, the classes, the deadlines, the CV preparation and the summer placements-life indeed has been a roller coaster ride.

Woman Of Steel - Surabhi Agrawal From XLRI - Celebrating Womanhood On InsideIIM

Surabhi Agrawal is studying HRM at XLRI, batch of 2018. What was high school like for you? How did it contribute to your personality/ the person you are right now? There were many personal ordeals I had suddenly come face to face in high school. I had no way of knowing how to deal with. My entire life had shifted in the past year and I was trying to come to terms with it. I had never before found myself lacking in self-reliance. And which was why I was unable to seek help either. I had never required much of it before. Help is always easier to give than to take. But the very living through it each day, on my own, strengthened me. I learnt how to eventually balance things, manage my emotions, patience, and tolerance. I built many life skills during this time. These I have followed till date. I took to writing poetry and had better understanding of the energies around me, their impact on me. I made friends who are all constants in my life now. They are a reaffirmation of each personal promise that I then made and kept, which has made me who I am and would be. If money was no object, what would you do all day?
