What Happens In The First Month At IIM Bangalore

Next week, we got our time table and books. Looking at the time table and number of classes, I laughed as to why people call MBA life an hectic one. Only 3 hrs classes per day and sometimes 4.5 hrs classes. Engineering had much more classes than this after all. The first week of classes were fun, new subjects, new domains, awesome way of teaching, highly knowledgeable faculty and not just theory but applications of every concept. And most importantly, 8 hrs of sleep every day. After one week, the real MBA life started showing its face from the veil. Club selections (3-4 rounds of selection process for every club; total 35+ clubs & societies); all projects stage1 submission deadlines and general body meets by placecom (nobody can imagine of missing them as they only give the opportunity to earn your bread and butter), all simultaneously took away those happy days and made them hectic and demanding.

When I asked seniors if this would be the routine for the 2 years of MBA life, they replied that it would be like this but you would get used to it. No doubt it's a hectic life out here but the exposure to the best talent and cut throat competition really gives the glimpse of the competitive world out there. I could see the amazing place where this road is heading to.

Looking for many more sleepless nights and a great career ahead.
