Transition

During SVNIT

As a student of apna SVR, I was not sure of what to do in the future except that I had absolutely no interest or aptitude for technical education, no motivation to do a job so that left MBA as a viable option.

I was known to wake up at 12, my attendance was in single digits and I passed by using the immensely helpful chits throughout exams.

After NIT Surat

Getting admission from IIM K, I was apprehensive about going to Kerala, where my friends at NIT Calicut have had harrowing experiences with food and language.

Nevertheless, I came to Kozhikode aka Calicut, woke up at 9 every morning, attended more than 90% of classes, slept only 5 hours a day, was elected as Member of Alumni Committee, learnt accounts, stats, marketing, IT and HR in the first term, gave 20 subject quizzes, 8 mid terms, 8 end terms, submitted 40 case studies, completed 5 projects all in 3 months and wondered what has come over me.

People here work hard but they party harder. Coming from a dry state, I partied atleast every weekend, ate better mess food than NIT by far, got a hukka in the room and thoroughly enjoyed the scenic beauty of the ‘K’ampus as well as Kerala.
I am trying to prepare a B plan, will be doing my summer training in Axis Bank next year – my first corporate experience and am thoroughly enjoying my last 500 days as a student; so life is vibrant and exhilarating at present. The best thing about being in an IIM is that I am branded for life and I now have lifelong friendship with some of the future corporate leaders of the country.
