Bengaluru, India, October 24, 2018 – The NSRCEL at the Indian Institute of Management Bangalore (IIMB), which focuses on developing entrepreneurship throughout the country, announced today that it has become an academic partner of Goldman Sachs 10,000 Women in India and will expand this proven program to reach more women entrepreneurs.
It is said that there lies an extraordinary story behind every ordinary “jodi” (couple).
Business school is a busy and a stressful time. It can be especially draining during the first few weeks and months as we meet new people and perhaps adjust to a new city or a country. We spend months, if not years to get into an MBA programme, however once we are in the programme, the everyday demands take over and we have little time to think about how to get the most out of this curriculum.
One of the annual activities at IIM Indore is their Rural Immersion Program. In the winter months, the students travel to rural villages and spend time researching and finding solutions to problems faced by the villagers. This year their mission revolved around Swachh Bharat's open defecation campaign and they were asked to give their recommendations directly to the Gram Panchayat.
Like any MBA aspirant, my journey of MBA entrance preparation started with a sole ambition of getting into an IIM, since IIMs were popular and highly recommended by professors and peers in the corporate world. Although IIMs provide essential learning and opportunities, they are certainly not the only ones imparting quality education in management. When I started my research and identified few best B-Schools based on my CAT percentile, KJ SIMSR was the one that fit the bill for me.
"I want to have a career in Finance, but I understand the fundamentals of Marketing well." "I should do Supply chain management as E-Commerce is booming like anything, then what about my plans of starting a business?"
You have given your all to CAT preparation, done with the aptitudes, with the long interview processes and have finally made it to the mecca of supply chain management. Many of selected candidates were working before joining a B-school and hence, been away from studies from quite a while. You recall your undergraduate college and think, you have done it before. Now, you expect to sail through the two breezy years of MBA. You think the difficult part is over?
