Term 4

The last of our core terms has started yesterday. This term promises to be completely action packed.

This term is one week shorter than our usual terms. Additionally we have a host of interesting activities scheduled to take place during the term. There is a session conducted by McKinsey on Structured Problem Solving. Many international names are expected to come to campus during this term and address the student body. I just came back from a session conducted by Credit Suisse (This was scheduled at 7 AM, because that's the only time they can catch the batch as a whole.... Around 125 students attended). Citibank will also be interviewing candidates for their scholarship program this term. We have the flagship event of the Real Estate club too in this term. It brings together some top academia and professionals to deliberate on the topic "Indian Real Estate Scenario".

This apart we have a lot of club activities planned for during the term. Investment banking workshops, CV preparation sessions, case preparation sessions and a crash course on options and futures. We also need to get started on our interview preparations in case we are targeting any of the international names which might be visiting the campus late October. To top it all I am doing an ELP (Experiential Learning Program) for a private equity firm and undertaking an independent study on the IPO markets.

Today is September 4th and our end term exams commences on October 4th. Exactly a month away. And yes..... we have to study too..
