The weekend was an absolute bliss! [Sarcasm galore!] Where in the world can we get an oppurtunity to solve cases in 3 different subjects [Corporate Finance, Managerial Accounting, Operations Management]. And parallely come up with a Entrepreneurial Business plan and a write-up which would convince even the most risk-averse Indian wife!
There is an interesting observation in ISB. Two kind of strategies are widely employed by study groups in ISB. First kind tries to solve and work all the cases together. The key reasoning is to learn from each and every case. But considerable time will be lost. The team is individual and individual is team. Second kind of group splits the assignments to individuals. It’s the responsibility of individual to complete the respective assignment. As each individual works only on one assignment, they get time for other activities. The disadvantage is losing out on learning from other assignments. Some people don’t even bother to read the cases! Naturally, People in second kind of group appears to have more time and are more relaxed. I am part of first kind which is slowly transforming into second kind…Natural evolution!
Both BCG and McKinsey were here in Campus to give an introduction to consulting, background of their companies, lifestyle of consultants etc., It was organised in liason with CAS.
I am going to chennai immediately after Term 3 exams. Even though I like this place very much, I badly want to be away from this place, pressure, acads, tension for 4-5 days. So am definitely off this place after exams. I hope to come back fresh…
Talking about exams, I couldn’t believe myself when I saw “A” against DMO in Term 2. As one of the alum said, miracles do happen…The Term 3 exams are just a week away!!! With so much information going inside the brain, I am not sure how much is overflowing and how much is absorbed…There is no time even to do a reality check!! Exams are making things worse…How nice it would be if we have just a Pass/Fail grade.
