An International MBA Student’s Life In India

When I landed in Mumbai from Madagascar to join Athena School of Management, I was experiencing a mix of nervousness and excitement. I had got admission on the basis of my GMAT Scores and Interviews. My parents were happy that I was joining one of India’s exclusive business schools but also worried about my stay and welfare. As the months went by, the nervousness and concern is gone but the excitement is still there.

Study Abroad Programs – Worth It!

Anyone remotely good in mathematics or in money management will tell you with certainty that a study abroad program is not worth the money or effort. The numbers just don’t add up. You pay too much for far too less “travelling”. So, are they right? Being brutally truthful, seen just in terms of money spent and locations tagged in a Facebook post, a study abroad program is not even close to being useful. But, that is to point, a study abroad program is not a foreign trip (at least not in its factual sense). It is a program aimed at studying in a different location to understand the work culture there and maybe pick up a few points of academics along the way.

An Indian Girl In Europe - Study Abroad Program Experience - IIM Shillong

MBA at IIM Shillong gave me a menagerie of things - there’s the tangible degree that has me branded for life, and then there are the scores of intangible paraphernalia I cannot get over. Memories, knowledge, wisdom, and experience are some of the contents of my personal Pandora’s box now.

Student Exchange Program - IIM Udaipur Student's Perspective

When I was selected to undertake the student exchange program with EDHEC University in France, I said to myself “Mischief thou art afoot, take what course thou wilt.” Student exchange programs in general, and the ones that IIM students undertake in particular, are notorious for being labelled as Euro Trips! Upon selection, I harboured similar ambitions. However, the experiences I had spoke a different story altogether.

"The European Experience" - Rohith Chanda - Study Tour At Telecom Ecole De Management, Paris

The candidate who enrols in a MBA programme is likely to have one or more of these aspirations - to get an overwhelming job offer, to become an expert in time management, to interact and network with students from diverse backgrounds and alumni, to have a superior industry interaction, to acquire indispensable skills necessary for a competent manager and lastly, to get a flair of international exposure. I too had quite a few of these dreams before joining b-school. And SJMSOM has done a great job in fulfilling these aspirations.
