How Relatable MBA Life Can Be With Formula One! By Santosh Mishra || IIM Rohtak | Former Formula Student Participant

Scenario 7 in F1-Although there is no confirmation, like every team, this seems to be a codeword between the team and the driver indicating when to push for the full power of the engine likewise there will be a situation where you have push really hard to go ahead in MBA

It takes only 1.8-4 seconds in F1 for a crew to change the tire of an F1 car when the tire condition is not good enough to race. There will be a situation during an MBA when you will be facing such a problem when your motivation will not be that good, so take a small break. It should be as well as possible and do something you like a bike ride or a party in a Dhaba or some con calls with your graduation buddies or play some games and get back to business as soon as possible.

Let's say you don't have the best car and you are not the best driver as well, but you do have the average vehicle and average driving skills, and when you are in F1, that means you have surpassed F2, F3 and well versed with the race, so that doesn't mean comparisons works here. You can use the ordinary skills to be in the Top 5 rather than aiming to be at the podium, and it is better to have 5 average races than 1 podium and 4 bottom races. If you don't have work experience/ some core finance skills/some big graduation college name in your CV then try to accept it and move ahead with the journey rather than thinking again and again.

What if my Term Exam didn't go well and if I was not selected in a company. The simple answer is a 20 Months race in MBA, and those who work really hard will definitely succeed and those who didn't want to even try when they are down.

A small example of how things work in F1, recently Red Bull racing driver Max hit his vehicle just 20 Minutes ago and trust me, it is tough to get back to the race, but his crew did that and got the car up and running in 16 Minutes and the end result was Rank 2 in the race.

Why such an example? Sometimes you may see a person break down during the Placement season due to some failures and some personal issues. Still, the sooner you lift him up earlier, that person will get up and may do wonders and even better than who was already leading him before him. The best part of an MBA is there will always be a chance to recover, but if you are not motivated to lift yourself after doing all the hard work and cracking CAT, it will be difficult.
