Getting The Best Out Of A B-School Stint

Imagine, you’ve worked extremely hard! You managed to do everything right to get through the crowd. Perhaps you’ve done only right things in life because slight blip and the checks and balances that exist in the system would have just thrown you out of the race before you would have even entertained thoughts of making it to a B-school of your choice. After all the adulation for just making it there, comes day one. Shouldn’t you be excited? Haven’t you earned the rights to be on top of the world?

Diversity: The USP Most B-Schools Forget To Sell!

For most MBA students, the b-school journey often starts on a very stereotypical note. It happens in an instant… stressful competitive exams, interviews in starchy formals and then suddenly you’re in! Almost overnight, your bags are packed to leave home. That’s when the gravity of it all hits you. This is it.

The Curious Case Of Class Participation

Once upon a time attending an early morning class at 10'o clock, half asleep I relentlessly scrounged through my case study looking for that paragraph. The one that is expected to be discussed next. Skimming through myriads of lines, I finally bumped on to something. As soon as the teacher moved to the next expected topic; my hands went up high. High enough to stand tall to talk about that one paragraph I read in class. That's the story of almost every class about "How I participated in Class Participation."

How To Make The Right Career Decision As An MBA Aspirant?

Everyone has a story and so do I. I am here to share my story with all of you and especially those who are in the same state of confusion that I was in while making the “right choice” for my career. The intention of writing this story using the platform of Inside IIM is to be able to reach out to a wide audience and tell them that it is okay to be confused! It’s okay, not being sure about the career path you want to take. It’s okay to start late. And, it’s certainly okay to question and try out new things and fail and then try again.

Jack Of All Or Master Of One? - The MBA Life

Growing up, we have often been told to be the best at what we do. At least, that is what most Indian parents expect from their superstar sons and daughters. Anything even close to the best was not good enough, seldom recognized. Well, my MBA journey in the past one year has been a different story.

MBA - A Mind Blowing Adventure

“How will you manage yourself at a b-school if you are this quiet? Do you really have it in you to do MBA?” Had there been an offline question tracker this would have made the ‘Top 10 questions asked by people’ list at least for me. Now, of course, I can answer these questions. But at that time I was clueless like many other aspirants are.
