Walk the talk...

6:40 am: Just came back from college!! the whole batch was supposed to reach at 5 in the morning for cleaning the campus...or rather i should say our hearts (as diro says!)...there were only 20 students from my college for the republic day yesterday while the other 2 colleges on our campus have good strength..for obvious reasons, we invited problems for us...a batch meet
was called for - at 5am next morning and we are not supposed to leave the campus before 9pm once we reach for our class at 9am!!! Welcome to B-school...anything's possible...

My motivations for writing this blog is not to describe what all happened today morning (the description is hilarious though!), but to bring out the fact how WE, as students/youth of today, have neglected a day which meant so much to the whole nation...when the whole college is lit and celebrating, why do we have to hide ourselves behind excuses of academic rigor, morning yoga or assignments...

I think its time to walk the talk and stop bragging about a tough life..i feel its a choice that we made and we should bravely live it and come out with a transformation we always yearn for ourselves...

Time for a quick nap before i go for my six sigma class at 9am...it was a good awakening...:)

Are you ready!

Let me begin this by congratulating all who have got calls from SCMHRD!

I was in the same shoes last year...trying my best to get as much info as possible so that i be prepared for the last battle before i reach my destination...but trust me its just a start, the rough terrain continues and an MBA really brings a transformation!

And thats precisely the reason it is important for the interviewers to pick the best of the lot who can survive and who can contribute to the academic setup in the best way! So if you are preparing for the interview, it is imp to understand whats going on in an interviewer's mind...the basic things are: leadership and team skills (we work in teams a lot), high learnability ( 18 subjects per sem!), enthusiasm and energy (8 hrs of classes besides assignments), clarity of thought (make the right decisions is taught all thru)...so questions will be around these qualities...

A systematic approach will be ---

1. Self - inrospection (why mba, what future goals, strenghts/weaknesses, hobbies, interests, how can u make a difference)
2. think about ur past - experiences/instances wen u succeeded, failed, led - remember examples
3. if fresher - revise 1-2 fav subjects and summer training; if work -ex - be ready for questions based on them...
4. work on ur confidence, body language and communication skills, spend time speaking.dicussing with friends and try to listen and speak well (this will help in GDs as well)...
5. read newspapers / magazines (though not much of it comes) so that u have data to discuss and make opinions about ongoing issues...

Please note that the list above is not exhaustive but just an indicative of what questions might be asked...
if you have any specific questions, u may mail me at vermaraman@yahoo.com

Wishing you all the best and see you in college...
