If there was one thing, just one thing that I would point out about the full time MBA program at NITIE, it would be the ridiculous amount of new people (I guess they call it “networking”) I have come to know since I’ve been in the program for past one week. On average, I’m meeting one new face every other day. Think about it.
One fine day, you wake up to go to work in the same environment, see the same boss, same colleagues, have lunch at the same restaurants or even at your desk, and you’re doing this over and over for past couple of years at work. How many NEW friends have you made in the past few years?
How interesting are they? Do they all have the same hobbies and work in the same industry?
I get it. The point I’m trying to make here might not be applicable to everyone, but is to an average person like me who was not making new friends on a daily basis in my past life in Genpact yet is crazy about diversity. Here, I’m practically making new friends anywhere and everywhere that the MBA program directly or indirectly brings me to.
First day of classroom at NITIE was a like a pleasant surprise to me. I had imagined professors sitting at the desk and reading through power point presentations. But, things such as pink Floyd music in the class and targeting each other with toys such as soft ball was all great fun.
Between all those activities Prof. Mandi also made us realize harsh truth about our expenses and then he made a simplistic figure of Rs. 2500 which I should earn everyday with the motto of " Aaj ki Roti..…Aaj hi Kamana !!
He also made us realize the importance of the slogan “Socho becho,becho seekho, seekho socho” . We have to think, look into each and every perspective to sell a product. Only innovative and able managers who are mature thinkers can sell in this competitive market. Then in this selling process itself one can learn and make oneself better. So, this is a cyclic process. In this process we get to learn a lots of things.
He also told us that this education system does not need too
much teachers and that learning is a virtue of knowledge which can be made accessible
to each and everyone.
Hoping that we get to learn lots of new things from Prof.
Mandi during our stay at NITIE!!
