Every year at InsideIIM we conduct the Summer Saga, a competition wherein students from B-Schools across the country share their exciting and insightful internship experiences. We receive stories from all functional areas, be it Consulting, Marketing, General Management or Human Resource Management.
After many ups and downs, trading-off between B-schools and overcoming the anxiety to leave home for the first time I landed up in NITIE the 'Mecca of Supply Chain'. I have always been attracted to the pedagogy of B-schools, the case-based discussions, group projects, and what not. So, I was all set for my first class waiting eagerly to start my MBA journey.
Competitions are an integral part of B-School life. Not only do they arrive with some amazing opportunities and prizes up for grabs but refine a lot of your presentation skills! You also get to identify the individuals in the process of building a perfect team. Who wouldn’t like their presentation deck for the competition to be the perfect blend of analysis, presentation and creative, feasible solutions? Here is a 5 Step-approach that will help you ace your deck in the upcoming competitions.
It is June and I am getting the most awaited chance of winning my first wish from the tooth fairy, on the 10th of the month, after my tenth birth anniversary on 23rd May; while many of my cousins have either lost half their milk teeth or have a full-grown permanent set, this is just a beginning for me and a voice inside chirps, “Better late than never!” Days passed and so did June, every year.
After all the hustle, clearing the competitive examinations, going through the rigorous GD-PI process, we all undergo a mental fight when it comes to finally choosing a b-school. Selecting a b-school is quite a major decision as it decides not only the next two years of your life but this decision has a great impact on your professional as well personal life. The more you talk to people to take suggestions, the more you get confused. Surely every person is different and so are their preferences and judgements while making such a decision but there are some points which one must keep in mind before coming to a conclusion.
It’s Monday, nope, it’s chest day, that is as long as last night’s assignment submission has not exhausted you. Dragging your half worked out calf muscles to the gym, carrying your hostel room keys in one hand and the once heavily used gym gloves in the other, you walk into an iron paradise.
MBA. A degree that speaks of hopes and dreams for many people. Each wanting to carving out their own identity into this microcosm. Some try, some work hard, some win and some are able to realize the dreams they had. Few are those, privileged are those. And behind the façade of achievement, is an average Joe, who like you and me, worked in silence, slogged and made it big.
I had the perfect boring life going on for me. Working in a corporate firm in Gurgaon! Listening to “exciting” client stories! Looking out of the window and seeing 20 storeyed glass & concrete structures staring back at you! You know the ‘clichéd’ good life. And I really didn’t mind any of it. And yet here I was on my first day at XLRI.
