And started coming the calls for interviews from top colleges but her inclination towards HR, brought her to XIMB. She adds on that her stint as a lawyer today helps her cope up with the understanding of compliance and regulations being taught as a part of our courses because two of the seven subjects of our entire first term are law subjects, with which she connects easily and even helps her friends to get connected.
Not just Medha, many people like her from varied backgrounds of MBBS, BDS, Geography, Psychology, Economics, Liberal Arts are now stepping into the field of MBA and today the skepticism of only engineering graduates making to top notch b-schools has shattered. Today, even institutes are keeping no stone unturned in welcoming people with diverse background with open hands. Non-engineers are thus found in almost every b-school breaking the perennial idea of our ancestors and diversifying the entire generation of MBA Graduates of the country.

About the Interviewee:
Medha Chaturvedi, a lawyer by profession and an aspiring HRM Manager hails from Kolkata. After failing to clear the medical entrance exam, she sat for the law entrance exam in a frantic bid to save a year which became a major turning point of her life. Legal education not only made her aware about the various laws of the country, but it also broadened her outlook and helped her in appreciating things in a better manner. The internships at law school cultivated her interest in corporate and labour laws. A management degree coupled with the knowledge of labour and commercial laws according to her will help her understand the intricacies of the corporate sector in a better manner. Therefore, after careful consideration, she decided that further study in an M.B.A. program would not only be useful, but perhaps essential in developing my career potential and provide greater opportunities.
