Life at crossroads....

Why do i find myself at crossroads???.....and why always?? It is as if i stay in crossroads....unable to decide which way to go.....and finally move in the direction the traffic moves....

Sometimes I think, Life would have been so easier if we didnt had to make choices. Yes, choices....thats where our source of misery starts. Do we choose our parents?...No, so we accept them and love them. Life is so cool, so bindas in our childhood days. But, as we grow old.....we need to choose....choose between which college to get admission, which bike to ride or to which girl should we propose....

Well, all this choices are biased. They are hugely affected by the way the world is going to accept our choice. Imagine the world of adam and eve.....no choices, still they enjoyed life....

But then, without choice.....just think how dull and monotonous the world would have been? All the fun, all the enjoyment of doing new activities, meeting new people or visiting new places wld hv bn missed.....

Well, again i m at crossroads.....unable to decide which argument has more weight??????

A business School called "ICFAI" - Part II

Well, placements or rather the most important criteria for determining the success of a B-school is directly dependent on the economy of a country. And the corelation is very high in case of ICFAI. But before getting into that, let me accept that the rating given by these magazines is simply bullshit.

The placement buzz started suddenly when the post mid-term evaluations were going on. Guys were also busy in preparing for 3rd sem exams since only some 15-20 days were left.

D E Shaw was the first company and I sat in the entrance test. The result, as expected, was negative. The next company that I applied for was ICICI bank and I hope there is no need to say about the result. Well, they have confirmed about the credit and risk profile in the interview but the actual confirmation will be only after the induction. Anyways, I got the "placed" tag very early which led to a negligence to whatever happened in the college.

Many good profiles for equity research and all came (like Adventity, Irevna, Batliwala, UBS, etc). I don't know whether going for ICICI is the right decision. But at the end, it doesn't even matter. After all, isn't all this things pre-decided by someone??? Or is it just a lame excuse from my side???

Anyways, the placements (Avg 5.5 lacs p.a.) till now had been decent enough to attract MBA aspirants. One should look at the ROI before making the final call.

A business School called "ICFAI"

"Love me or Hate me, but u cant ignore me." Well, thats truly applicable to ICFAI Business School. An institution which seldomly acts as an institution (talkling about the discipline and curriculum). But still, its an institution....lolz

Well, don't be so pessimistic about the school. I have learned a lot in the past 20 months at ICFAI. Learned how to do CCP (well, u kno the full form, rite?), how internal marks are assigned at face value and how students are selected for representing the school in fests.

Its not so bad after all. I believe its just the right training for the bad bad corporate world. Things are pretty much the same there (I m not talking about exceptions)

Yes, I would have loved to have a hostel life, much better faculties and much better infrastructure. But, ICFAI has made me learn how to adjust and how to stop complaining.

One of the key features of ICFAI is that they are not goin to make your life a hell, unlike other B-Schools. Its your initiative thats going to count. So, lazybones remain as they are.

Will write about placements and all in the next post.
