Irrelevant as it may sound, Tango’s got nothing to do with my article. However, my next three hundred words or so would revolve around the latter. The past three months, to be precise the first Trimester of my MBA Life, has taught me a lot of lessons. So here’s a glimpse into my first trimester at SBM, NMIMS Mumbai.
The short answer to this question is “no.” At times, it seems to be a “yes” because of some rare illusions of success created by people in some small companies. A non-HR person handling the HR department is similar to a mason planning a building construction by himself. Anyone with common sense would know that his knowledge cannot match that of a proper civil engineer. The gap between an HR professional and a non-HR person is excessively high. The work delivered by an HR professional who is passionate about their profession is unparalleled.
The placements season is upon us in full swing. Some are still waiting for the summer internship placements to end while others are already preparing for final placements. We have devised an interesting way to help cope with the stress and hopefully also discover more about Aditya Birla Group through our unique online travel game - Around the World in 16 Questions. The game is not too tough but it isn't very easy either. Attempts are limited and you need to know names of places.
“Don’t just gulp theories and terms, apply them in real life too.” – that’s what our professors used to tell us in every lecture. And believe me, I did.

InsideIIM conducted a Workshop - Konversations on Marketing Careers at Hard Rock Cafe, Bangalore and over a 100 MBA Aspirants attended it and met Rockstars of Marketing from Adobe, TATA Global Beverages, Britannia, and Diageo!
Internship started like usual internships start, inductions and presentations about the Organization. But the twist here was the organization I was interning in, it was L&T. One of the organisations which is known for its great building techniques and structures it has erected over the past years. Some of the structures which are keeping people in awe are T2 of Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport, Bengaluru International Airport and presently they are also constructing the biggest iron statue in Gujarat of Sardar Vallabbhai Patel.
I remember I had updated my Facebook status as ‘Konverted’, after getting an admission to IIM Kozhikode merely for the swag. However, hailing from Kolkata (Calcutta), the ever-whining me always criticized using such misspelt words. Later, I found it was a frequent sight on Facebook, be it for the onward journey to ‘Kampus’ to being inducted as a ‘Komrade’. I could feel the martyr in me approaching a faster death as I was gradually journeying from a person who criticizes such acts to a person who thinks critically.
