3)Placements mean everything and nothing lies above this fact- Securing a job would be a priority for everyone and anyone who joins a business school but it should not be the only thing that runs in your mind. You need to have a focused mind but that mind need not think only about a job all the time. There are certain experiences that you cannot miss out on and if you do so you will definitely regret it. It is very important that you look at the bigger picture and have faith in yourself. An opportunity may seem very small at the moment but you never know when it might turn into your best decision a few years from now. You don’t want to keep running in race only to realize that you were running in a pack you don’t belong to at all. I have seen people making time for their hobbies and passions and the kind of satisfaction that it gives them cannot be matched. You cannot do everything at every point of time but you can surely take out for your own self once in while.
We all fall prey onto these myths and tend to make mistakes. Getting an MBA is about learning as much as you can from whichever source and way. It is a wonderful journey that wouldn’t be as scary as people think it is if you have a cool mind that is open to explore opportunities and the dedication to just go for something if it interests you. The best part is that you meet like minded people who share a passion for similar things and that is definitely going to help you. It is a place where dreams are crafted and maybe that’s why they call FMS “The Red Building of Dreams”. I have had an amazing first year full of experiences that I live by and eagerly looking forward to another year for some amazing memories and experiences.
As I’m writing this article, I can think of all the applicants at different schools. If there’s one single advice that I would like to give out, I would say that you should make the most out of every moment. Do not get boggled by the different things that people say or the perceptions that people carry. Your 2 years here will make you and you need to think how you want to go about it. Your dreams have been crafted and now all you need to do is give them wings.
