The best managers handle stress calmly, with a straight face. Top Indian B-schools throw truckload after truckload of stress at their students in the form of a barrage of compulsory subjects, optional electives, case studies, attendance rules, group projects, presentations, quizzes (often on short notice), hectic and packed schedules, and oddly-timed classes. In addition to all this, there is a tremendous amount of studying and self-preparation to maintain a good CGPA (cumulative grade point average), which in turn directly affects students’ chances for internships and final placements into the best brands and coveted profiles.
If this weren’t enough, some professors lock entry doors to their classes a minute prior to the official class time. Such rigour at top B-school is a way of honing the stress-management and time-management skills of the candidates. For if you can’t manage yourself well enough in the first place, how do you expect to manage others? Students must soothe and stitch their own frayed nerves as they take the first steps toward becoming top-notch decision-makers and responsible managers.
Which ABG company would I like to work for and why?
I would like to work in Aditya Birla Fashion & Retail Ltd as I wanted to pursue my majors in marketing here at IIM Raipur and believe I am a girl with fashion sense and interests in that area. So, I can give my maximum outputs as it is the field I am looking forward to in my career after graduating from IIM Raipur. The fashion industry is one among those industries which never fails to keep the customers engaged throughout the year and I would like to experience it and would like to make the industry feel my presence.

Currently pursuing MBA from IIM Raipur (2nd Year). I would describe myself as an outgoing person who believes in hard work and right demeanor at all times. Basketball, reading novels, PC games and traveling are the things I am up for anytime of the day.
Nicely written
