IIT-kgp @ IMI

My next second stage was at IMI New Delhi of IIT kharagpur on 15th Feb. I shared my timings with Mayank. We both had it on 8.30 in the morning. We went to Delhi together from Nagpur and stayed there at Mayank’s uncle’s place in Noida.

We reached there at around 7.15 and the reporting time was 8.30. So we roamed in the vicinity and saw IIFT, IIPM and IMM. IMI was also good, although it did not have a campus as big as IMT Nagpur but its interiors were equally beautiful if not less.

The process started with the students of IIT kgp showing us presentation of VGSOM followed by allocation of batches. The entire process of GD/PI was coordinated by the first year students. They were very helpful and carried out everything smoothly.

Then we had a GD in the form of a Case study. It was about Harley Davidson and how their sales were declining and the steps they took and the problems that arouse because of that. We were to give a monologue for a minute or so and then discuss. And if I thought that IMT GD was a fish market then this was an open sale of fishes. 10mins of high decibel endurance test. The panel members stopped us in between to let their ear drums have some rest and asked a few people who did not speak till then to speak and then again asked to continue and again had the fishes sold for free. I tried to enter the discussion but all in vain. Then I thought better not to add a few more to the current decibel levels. Then the discussion ended but the panel member told that we should speak in the GD and speak sense. Then we were to write 3 bullet points of the discussion.

After that we had Interview. I then came to know that maximum students in my panel were 2 digit rank holder (mine was 862). Wow! I thought they think I belong to the elite group (hahaha). There were 2 panel members.

P1: Sit.

Me: ( :O )

(The chair was facing the other side, I started staring, how to sit and should I turn the chair or not)

P2 noticed it and then said: Oh sorry turn the chair and sit.

Me: (Phew) Thank you

P1: So why you want to do MBA?

Me: Same Blah-Blah.

P2: What qualities are required to lead a world class organization?

Me: Some Blah-Blah.

P2: No, those are obvious. Tell some others.

Me: Other Blah-Blah.

P1: What is your favorite subject?

Me: Computer Network.

P1: what are the latest developments in computer networks?

Me: Latest Blah-Blah.

P1: What are your hobbies?

And they grilled me on my hobbies.

P2: Thank you. You may leave.

("Sir in which direction should I put the chair for the next one?" i thought of asking.)

Well I came out, wrote a feedback form, then waited for uncle’s car and went directly to railway station. And came back home. Hey and not to forget that first time in my life had an up-gradation of rail ticket from sleeper to 3rd a/c.

Never Thought So

There are things you never imagined you would ever do. But life such that you never know what turn it takes. So right after my MBA I had some free time which I thought to utilize doing something constructive, but then I got desperate. Not that the work mentioned below is inferior ,but it was just that I had never related it to myself. A person Tall, skinny built, wearing light Shirt with sleeves folded, and dark pants was standing in front addressing us. "We will be talking about great revolution in the insurance sector. So as you know Manmohan Singh was the finance minister in 2000" Silence. "Excuse me sir, but during 2000, it was an NDA government" "Was it?" "Yes" "SO what? Still Manmohan Singh was the FM" Then I interrupted. "Sir i think you must talking about 1991" "Yes yes sorry...I mean 1991" Before moving forward i want to tell you that these excerpts are from a training session that me and one my friend(from ...

First Time: Blood Donation

Image
Today I volunteered for the first time to give blood in a blood donation camp. The camp was set up by Prathama, an NGO, in our college campus. I thought I would overcome the fear of ‘first time’ very easily and I was almost there,except that my BP was 145/85. But just before I was to lie on the bed for blood transfer, a person in the room fainted and had to be given attention by the doctor. I came to know that he was a first timer. Now I was a bit scared. He might have missed a precaution that maybe I have also overlooked. Damn! why didn’t I read the instructions again this morning before coming here. I took God’s name and went ahead. Then, Dinesh and Anupam maybe sensed my fear and approached me. They talked to me all through. I felt relieved (that if I fainted, they would immediately look after me). Arnab, who was also giving blood in the bed next to me, was also a great support. I would really like to thank all of them for making it smooth.

Home Away As the summer seems ending (ahh...3 weeks to go) I can’t wait to go home. For the past 1 year I have been away from my family and seeing them only for a couple of days that too after every 2-3 months. I am longing to go home not only because I want to see my parents, but also because it is the place I have absolutely no work to do. I sleep 12 hrs a day, sit in front of TV and do nothing. More than me, my clothes want me to go home. Alas they cannot suffer the agony of me washing them and debasing them exponentially towards a rag. Of the various types of dwellings that I have seen- hostel, PG (paying guest) room, shared apartment, I find a house (home) most well organized. My PG room would come in next in organization. There is no space or things, which I can disorganize. All that can be moved from one place to the other is the TV remote. Next in line would be my hostel room. Since it is more spacious and has more things and hence more scope for disorganization. But this is li...
