Like many others, I was super excited when I was offered Sales and Marketing internship with HUL. It is a dream internship for many on campus and the excitement only increased as HRs rolled out tasks to connect us with interns from other B schools. No sooner than this happened, we were active on the facebook and whatsapp groups knowing each other.
1- Amazing faculty – Most of the faculty at IIM Nagpur are from IIM Ahmedabad and a few from other premium institutes. Needless to say the students have access to some of the best faculties of the country. The class discussions are extremely vibrant and learning is fun. Moreover, the professors give time to the students outside of the classrooms as well, where students can enquire about anything related to class or otherwise.
When managers and human resource professionals are assigned the task to recruit IT personnel, many may be stumped especially in an industry that moves with the speed of advance technology. If they know what to look or in a technical support staff while keeping future perspectives of the organisation, recruiters can tap the appropriate sources and it won’t require a degree in rocket science either.
I am not much of a raconteur because I believe in living in the moment and the vicarious thrill one might experience because of the story telling would be a mere hollow microcosm of something inexplicable. (Phew!! for those of you who thought I was writing Mandarin, don’t worry that’s all that remains from my CAT preparation, it’s going to be English from now on). I wish I could just close my eyes and take you into my thoughts (Does this remind you of Johnny Quest? Never mind!!). But since we don’t have that option let us stick to the usual method. When I think about where to begin I am bombarded by thoughts...#New Year @Amsterdam #Lost Luggage #Backpacking #Welcome Dinner #The Arctic Circle # Santa #Bomb scare #Hot Girls # Hostel Stays # Train Journeys # Jewish Concentration Camps # Pub Crawls……..the list goes on.
They say, ‘Life begins at the end of our comfort zones’. It would be safe to say that I too wanted to do something different which offers me much more than just an internship. Here is a small description of an experience about what I learnt (other than the marketing theories) from my summer internship in the United Kingdom.
I’ve had a rather eventful life of 24 years and most of that comes from the time I’ve spent at a place that was nothing more than an ambition some 18 months ago. Before that, I had been fairly alright with my studies till 10th. Needless to say, I opted for Non-medical and trained for 2 years for THE EXAM THAT CAN MAKE YOUR LIFE, IIT-JEE. Like most, I couldn’t get through. Does the Extended Merit List count? It doesn’t really matter because I didn’t make it to that either. With no idea whatsoever of why I was there and a lot of makeshift arrangements of conviction about being an engineer (Engineering ka scope hai, remember?), I finally passed out of college with a lot many friends, too little knowledge and an IT job in hand. Talking about you? Talking about me? Talking about half the population of engineers that there is actually.
Now the real term that is the scheme have been launched for alluring young population of India to venture into business. They are being offered several incentives so that the failure of the erstwhile module of incentives were withdrawn since 1999. the facts behind the withdrawn of incentives were a black steps which was established by the then empowered committee on Finance have taken a black decision to withdraw the incentives for the small scale industry. Thus the running industry upto 1999 were suffered a serious blow with this reforms process. A lot of them we awarded crores of rupees as tax demand and also towards the tax penalty thereby resulting into a virtual collapse of the industry. Even though no-penalty is yet fixed on the empowered committee of minister. But with this all the industry were closed.
