Below Average Engineer's Journey To An IIM

Below Average Engineer's Journey To An IIM

My story did not begin when I started my computer engineering course from NSIT, New Delhi, but when I was in school. I had chosen the stream of science with economics in class XI for I had an analytical mind and was fascinated with economics (I am not going to lie, one major factor that drove me to this decision was the fact that this stream opened most doors for a career path in the future). I was determined to pursue B.A. Hons. (Economics) after passing school. Unfortunately for me, I missed the cut off for St. Stephens, my dream college by 3 marks. By that time I had successfully secured admission in the computer science branch of NSIT, which for people who don’t know, is a dream case scenario for many or the answer to some IIT rejects.

1 Month Into An IIM - The Race Has Just Begun

1 Month Into An IIM - The Race Has Just Begun

How often does it happen that a particular target that we have set for ourselves seems to be the only thing worth sacrificing everything for? To thousands of graduates in our country, CAT is that big target that we want to conquer. Notionally, that seems to be true. Because, once belled, CAT will fetch you a seat in a coveted IIM and give you a chance to brag in front of your “not so smart” peers. A seat in IIM Indore instilled emotions of joy, satisfaction and relief in me, at least for the first few days, after which the mist began to get clear.

Brand Management + Politics - Served With Sarcasm

Brand Management + Politics - Served With Sarcasm

I happen to be a big time political buff and been following politics of India for a long time. I’m a student of Marketing at IMT-Ghaziabad. So while studying ‘Brand Management and Marketing Strategy’ on a crazy night; after solving a number of case studies, reading, an idea hit me. What if our political parties were brands? What would be their position statement, competencies, campaign idea?

Not A Fresher's Journey To IIM Lucknow - The Highway To Hel(L)

“I have heard there are 2012 pass outs in our batch as well. How do they even have the energy to do an MBA? Don’t they feel old?” quipped a gleeful “fresher” walking right in front of me (she, obviously, didn’t know about my background just 15 days into the program). My name is Sambhavi Ganguly. I joined IIM Lucknow (popularly known as “Hel(L)” among the students) in 2017. I have 4 years of work-ex in the electronics industry. I am a 2012 engineering graduate, and I don’t feel old!
