Bank Day At Top IIMs - How to handle yourself when the placement game begins...

You wake up on Day 0. The day when the most coveted jobs on campus are on offer. Unlike other days, you don’t even need an alarm to wake up. Excitement is running all through you. You have your shirt ironed out. The elegant navy blue (or black) suit ready. Shoes polished and shining. Your first day as a banker. You suit up and start walking. Your chest a little broader than usual today. No fear, no anxiety, no nervousness. You walk in confidently to sign your agreement. In the next 5 mins, you walk out of the placement room with a job. No interview. No questions. It is all smiles and you are among the first ones in your batch to get placed. Sounds like a dream right? Well it does feel like a dream too. But whether you live this dream or not depends on how you handle yourself on the Bank Day!

CV Prep For Summer Placements - How Much Is Too Much?

It is that time of the year where the first years start getting immersed into the B-School experience. After months of anticipation, it is time to live the dream for an entire new set of geniuses. The chosen few from the millions who get this opportunity. As the senior batch welcomes all of you to this new adventure of your life, you already have very little time to even breathe. I am sure most of you are already taking decisions between a morning shower v/s breakfast and between sleeping at 1:00 a.m. v/s heading to the night canteen in hope of some renewed vigour to study through the night. Amidst all of this, you are faced with the mother of all decisions; The 1-page CV! It seems quite intriguing as to how much time a person can spend behind preparing a 1-page document for Summer Placements. If you were asked this question before you came to your B-School, not more than 15-20 mins is what you would say. Worst case let us go with 2-3 hours. This sounds quite logical too. But if logic ruled the entire life, half of the courses at a B-School (especially those dealing with behaviour and psychology) would not exist!

When You Are High On Work

Have you ever experienced a high while working? Yes, I am talking about you! I have been, and I have enjoyed every bit of it. Why shouldn’t I? I am young; I have all the time and energy to put into my work. Why shouldn’t you do the same, after all that growing up listening to “work is worship” you are still not putting efforts to get that high. After all your work is your legacy and that is what is left behind when you leave the world. The work high I am talking about gives you a rush of ‘chemicals’ inside you which make you feel better; it’s a feeling of euphoria and fulfilment which drives you further into knowing yourself.

Why Summer Placements Are More Important Than Final Placements

June is that month of the year where a batch comes out of a ride and a new batch looks forward to the same for the next year. Summer Placements. When I was a b-school student I used to hear and over-hear casual remarks about this like “It's just SIP (Summer Internship Placements)”,” 2 Mahine ki to baat hai”, “go wherever you can and get out of this race”, “Finals me faad denge”. As a fresher (Or even as a lateral), you don’t have much idea about the processes and maybe you lack confidence, you feel less-than-prepared, or cant decide where to go. By the time you understand these while also settling into b-school curriculum, activities, committees, etc. SIPs start. So first thing first - I believe SIPs are more important than Finals. WHY?
