As a young student, I was always fascinated with organizations - how they were made, how they worked, how they produced goods & services. In the end, organizations were just like people. People who owned them, people who worked for them, and people who they worked for. And thus, for me, it was like studying the anatomy and behaviour of a different species. My passion to learn about them more, pushed me to take up MBA.

Q7. How does an MBA student balance studies and extra-curricular activities at b-school? Is it possible to balance the two, or must one be sacrificed for another? How did you bring about a balance?
MBA students turn into superhumans when needed. They can do a thousand different things all in a single day. Even after spending the whole night preparing for a dance performance, an MBA student can wake up for a 9 am exam and still ace it. They do this through willpower and time management. Obviously, some days the hours are too few to fit in everything, but we as MBA students learn to prioritize. It is 100% possible to balance the two, and I know numerous people who did it during their time at IIM Indore without even blinking twice.
For me, the balance came through the acknowledgment of priorities and then following through on them. I kept a balance between the things I wanted to do and the things I had to do. Though I did sleep through a few exams and classes over the years, I treated them as exceptions or even something that college life is all about. *winks*
