My Journey To IIM Rohtak - Kriti Nagori

My Journey To IIM Rohtak - Kriti Nagori

I still vividly remember that day, preparing for my engineering entrance exams, I needed a break and had gone out for dinner with my family and I had told my mom ” I may not get a top college for engineering, but I am going to do my MBA only from an IIM!”, and here I am five years later, sitting in my hostel room in of one of the best MBA colleges in India and writing this article. It has been a long journey, full of ups and downs, but worth every effort.

Why MBA And How MBA?

Why MBA And How MBA?

So, MBA right? Did you tell your parents or you just took the decision alone by seeing your friends getting a hefty salary while you are working in some office, barely managing to present your girlfriend the iPhone she asked for or some necklace your mother was seeing when she was passing by the local jewellery shop and when you asked whether she wanted that or not, she purposefully directed the conversation to some other way. Yes, MBA is the most sought-after career in India and when we are asked Why MBA in the college interviews? We tend to give the same cliched answer that "I want to make a mark in the field of business or I want to be an entrepreneur". I being one of them gave the same reply. Here I am going to describe my own story of pursuing MBA from a very reputed B-School in India.

For The Love Of MBA

For The Love Of MBA

As the sky grew deeper into the shades of night with the stars lighting up the city with their smile, I walk a lonely road shining under the magnificent canvas of the heavens. As the wind blows through my hair with the fragrance of the flowers filling up my lungs I embrace the silence of the woods. Walking down the moon-kissed roads of IIM Bangalore, I climb my mountain of memories. Memories that make me ride on the clouds of confidence and dance on the flames of faith.

How To Prepare For A Life At A B-School

How To Prepare For A Life At A B-School

I am writing this as a shout-out to all those MBA aspirants out there who have, for the better or worse, decided that their sole aim in life right now is to get into an IIM (or any b-school, really).

Fresher In A B-School: Are You Anyway Inferior To People With Prior Work Experience

Fresher In A B-School: Are You Anyway Inferior To People With Prior Work Experience

It was my first week in IIM Udaipur, and we were supposed to do our first group project. In a b-school, study groups are made by PGP office, and the groups are made with a specific purpose. The group contains a lot of diversity. There is at least one female in the group. Similarly, there are people with graduation in different domains in one study group. I was the only fresher engineer in the study group. The moment when other members started talking about balance sheets and Porter's five forces, I felt like an alien. I could not contribute much to the project. The next morning, we had alumni meet where three alumni came to motivate the incoming batch. The only question I wanted to ask what should a fresher do to survive in a b-school environment. I had so much inferiority complex of being a fresher at that time that I could not even ask my question out of the fear of being judged.

Why MBA? - An XLer's Perspective

Why MBA? - An XLer's Perspective

Why MBA? The most dreaded question in any MBA college interview. Different coaching institutes will offer you different advice. Some say be yourself and speak the truth, some will draft an answer for you and even how to present it. After hearing all these pieces of advice and giving a lot (LOT!!!) of interviews, I can give you a perspective, or at least a few pointers on how to approach this question.
