We are a batch of 54 students who represent pan-India cross culture ethos here within the campus, giving us glimpses across the large subcontinent. There are students from Punjab, Delhi, Uttarakhand and Uttar Pradesh from the north, Maharashtra and Gujrat from the west, Kolkata and Chattisgarh from the east, Madhya Pradesh from the centre and Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka from the south. Living with mates of such diverse culture creates a really exciting environment where we get a look into the very adorable quirks and admirable idiosyncrasies. The average age of the students in our batch is 23.5 years, with an approximate female to male ratio of 1:4. Our batch has a huge academic diversity of students, with some having work experience of more than 40 months to students who just completed his/her undergrad working together on the same project, which indeed creates a good amalgam of freshness and experience. Average work experience of the batch is 18.3 months with experience in reputed companies such as Amazon, OYO, TCS, Hexagon, Accenture, Genpact, IMS Health, Feedback Infra, ISMT Limited, RIL, MRF, ZTE, EValueserve, JSW Steel, DENSO, Binary, Semantics, L&T, Infosys, Sopra. Students have worked in the domain of management, internet securities, risk management, mechanical design, maintenance management, business analysis, technical training, marketing and Quality assurance.
Managing work and academia with other co-curricular activities is very important in life and students from our batch have mastered the art of balancing these various facets. There are students who have huge experience in public speaking, to students who have played multiple sports at different competitive levels and some with a diploma in Tabla. Students with fascination in standup comedy not just lighten their own stress but also act as anxiety busters for each of their batch mates, OAT being the stage for such relaxing moments of jokes and music. Some specialise in dramatics and extempore, others indulge in competitive sports for the mind such as contraption, Rubik’s cube solving and chess Living in this lush green campus, out of the individual comfort zone, is itself a joyful but adventurous ride.
With hearts full of boisterous excitement and the grey cells full of active ideas, this batch believes in standing united to take all further challenges head-on. Having been given the opportunity to create something special and bask in the further glory of the spoils that come from the work ethic that we will develop and inculcate among ourselves. As Shery Sandberg rightly says:
“If you’re offered a seat on a rocket ship, DON'T ASK WHAT SEAT! Just GET ON!”
