5. After Joining MBA

Q. Were you able to get the school of your choice or did you compromise and opted for the best option that was open/available for you?
A. I am more than happy with the choice I made. I couldn't convert IMT-Ghaziabad. But then ironically, I would have opted for IMI even if I had converted IMT-G. So, luck was in my favor. Of the options available, my only convert was the college that I wanted to be in.

Q. Did work experience help in getting the choice of your school and also in dealing with the curriculum?
A. Work experience as such didn't help in the decision-making. Mine was a pure programmer's job. It didn't have anything to do with management.

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 these?
A. No. Infact the things which I have come to know about IMI after joining were only pleasant surprises. The student culture is good, there is adequate senior-junior interaction and the faculty is way beyond expectations.

Q. What are the toughest areas to handle in your studies?
A. I, being from an engineering background and poor with current affairs, am finding Economics as tough nut.

Q. Which one is your best subject?
A. The best subject at IMI would be Marketing Management. Any day. I am not telling this with reference to the marks scored, but in regards to the learning you attain from each class. You actually feel the professor grooming you into a manager as each class go by.

Q. Is there stress level during studies?
A. Yes. Deadlines take a toll on my sleeping hours. Besides that, there are surprise tests, mid-term exams, case studies, group tasks, and extra curricular activities, to keep one under constant pressure.

Q. Who is the best faculty at your B-school?
A. Prof. S. R. Singhvi, the Marketing Management Professor I was talking about. He commands respect. The way he grooms you into an all-round manager, is beyond description. One must be honoured to be his student.

Q. What's the best and most admirable feature of your institute?
A. The faculty, and the growth they offer you. The student culture. The location.

Q. Scope of development in your existing curriculum.
A. Nothing that I can think of.

Q. Getting into and sailing through a B-school is easier for a Science graduate than for someone from Humanities background. Your comments, please.
A. No. People from every discipline will have their advantages and disadvantages. Like, engineers are better off in Mathematics and Statistics course, while B.Com. graduatess find Accounting classes a piece of cake, and the Economics classes are so for the Economics graduates. Everyone will have one subject or the other that they can identify with. It cannot happen that all subjects appear Greek or Latin for a person.

Q. Tips for those who wish to do MBA from your school.
A. Study hard for CAT, and do away with any mis-conceptions that once CAT is over, studies are over. It's only the beginning. Have no second thoughts about joining IMI. It'll be a choice you won't regret.
