5. After Joining MBA

Q. After joining the school, did you ever wish that you should have known certain more things about the school before you became part of it? What are those ?
A. Not really. Before I joined, we were amply 'warned' by a 18-page offer-letter which promised the worst kind of discipline and rigour. I am glad I was mentally prepared for the extreme circumstances, and the institute has lived up to its promise!

Q. What is the toughest area to handle in your studies?
A. I find Statistics and Operations Research (both quantitative topics) the hardest to handle.

Q. Is there stress level during studies?
A. The stress level here is something that I have never even come close to in my entire life! We have no holidays, we stay up till the late hours, we have surprise tests and basically we are overstressed, but the collective stress makes it fun!

Q. Which one is your best subject?
A. Marketing Management and Written & Oral Communication are my favourite subjects.

Q. Who is the best faculty?
A. Prantosh Banerjee, our Marketing and Research Methodology Professor, is unanimously the best faculty in our college.

Q. Scope of development in your existing curriculum.
A. 18 subjects are really not required and also more case studies and application-based curriculum can be implemented.

Q. Tips for those who wish to do MBA from your school.
A. You can happily kiss your social life a goodbye for two years!
