B-School And The Art Of Balancing
As mystical as it may sound but ‘balance is the key’. For those of you who’ve read ‘Eat Pray Love’, you may find that the cliched ending to the story is actually the key to survival at a b-school.

There's More To IIMs Than Placements And Brand Name
When you hear the word ‘IIM’, all that comes into one’s mind is the coveted degree, sky-high pay packages & the enviable white-collared jobs. Very seldom would people associate IIMs with knowledge, world-class faculty & a rare opportunity to expand their horizon of cognition.

Technology And E-Commerce - Alumni Report 2018
This is the sixth edition of the annual Alumni Report on InsideIIM.com. It’s that time of the year again where we take stock of the distribution of alumni from the 16 Top Business Schools in India across some of the most desirable companies in India. Following the format set by the student team last year (this year’s student team will be announced in June), the series will cover 4 sectors – Banking and Finance, Consulting, Tech & E-Commerce and Consumer Goods. We will look at absolute numbers of alumni in each company and compare percentages of alumni in 2 ways – which school has the highest representation in a company among its ‘peers’ and which company has the highest percentage of alumni for a given business school. (Peers are defined based on the year of establishment of the business school. More details below.)

'Re-Imagining Finance' - Summer Internship At AkzoNobel - Sumeet Mohapatra, JBIMS
When you dream a career in Finance and land at the right place and the right college. Here the place is Mumbai and the college is JBIMS. As soon as I joined JBIMS, preparation for summer interviews started in full swing. Our seniors and alums helped us a lot in building a solid resume and also took several rounds of mock interviews. I brushed up all the current affairs, read "The Hindu" and "Business Standard" line to line. The scope of career paths in Finance puzzled me a lot. I narrowed my focus to companies which offered Corporate Finance role. As Corporate Finance provides a multitude of career paths starting from Treasury to General Management. Luckily, after 2 rounds of interview, I got an internship offer from AkzoNobel (famously known for its "Dulux" brand), the world's 2nd largest paint manufacturer. I think going through the annual reports of a company helps a lot in knowing your target companies peers, strength, weakness and of course the core values.

From A Small Village Of Gujarat To SPJIMR | Best MBA Motivational Story
Getting into a b-school is all about fighting against all odds. But for some people, it isn't always a level playing field. Some people have to strive through more than the CAT preparation and interview calls. They have to keep going and chasing their dream with even more determination. And if they can do it, you can too.
