Day 6

A day for doctors... Apollo, Global Hospitals, Max Healthcare.. Many of the IT companies participated too. Infosys, JPMC & HSBC (for IT roles), Infotech Enterprises, Mphasis, Sankhya, Satyam and a couple of others.

Looks like my views have been heard or similar views have been floating around on the preparedness of students. From today on, the Placement Committee has decided to put in place the following:

1. CV Experts - Catch these guys to customize your CVs for the role/ company you are applying

2. Company champion - Know everything about the company/ role before you step in for the interview

3. Student Village Champions - Guys with whom you can chat up if you are generally feeling low and if you require any help in targeting/ preparing for companies which are coming..

These students (who are taking on the above roles) would be around the interview area to help people who need it. Great initiatives indeed.

The formal placement season is on just for three more days. Our last term - Term 8, starts on Monday.

I have an interesting appointment tomorrow and i will make up my mind on where i would be joining, immediately after that.

I have always failed to understand why doctors do an MBA...mayb u can help me give a perspective...going by the trend the next thing we might see is teachers running for an MBA so that they can become principals or start their own schools!...mover over engineers....

Cheers!

Hi Anonymous 1,
You have an arts background and expereince in a different industry. Why MBA? And where do you want to go after MBA?

I think these are the questions which you need to ask yourself, before asking why ISB?

Hi Anonymous 2,
I am not sure if i am the right person to answer this question. But my take is as follows

Doctors, teachers, lawyers and may be any professional.. may want to do an MBA for the following reasons:

1. Career switch - Boredom catches up
2. Leverage their technical knowledge with managerial skills to go to greater heights in their own areas
3. Some of these guys also have their own practice.. an MBA degree helps them understand the nuances of business and help expand better/ faster
