Life at MDI

[mufasa]

feels nice to see PG08 contributing to this thread.... I haven't yet met all the puys at MDI... will get to know them in a while....
Life at MDI from PG07 point of view is getting hectic by the day.. have mid term exam scheduled for a subject this Saturday.... and even after the loads of cases done in the first year, it if difficult to pre-read all of them before classes... I was asked to excuse myself from a class yesterday for not being prepared... And as a future MBA, I utilised this time playing football..... We had a PG07 Vs PG08 match yesterday.... first in a series of games that are to follow...

Yes, mufi it has become quite hectic now. While in the first year, we always thought life in the second year is a lot more chilled out. However, it looks to be a totally different case. The profs now expect us to do a lot more. Aah..the grass is always greener on the other side

Speaking of grass, the evening lectures are forcing me to miss football games at least twice a week

Weekends was fun. I went to catch up with my friends in Delhi. Most of the guys went home or to meet friends during the weekend. Don't think would be possible to go out every weekend.

Classes have started in full flow. Each class is of 1.5 hrs. A bit too long. By the end of class everyone is like .

CR elections are over. We now have a CR to take care of us.

Life has turned busy now. Faculty expects us to come prepared for classes. Its been 3 years since I studied. So kind of gets difficult for me. I have started thinking that I have to study. One day I will start doing what I think. Seems I am not among the best of students .

It feels nice to post on the thread my first post.
First of all thanks to the student council for making the Induction week memorable for us. It involved entire range of activities from rappling to group activities.
Coming to the academic rigor most of the people are talking about I think the things are pretty chilled out you just have to study for 2-3 hrs for the next day. The quizzes are also pretty much of an enjoyment because of the relative grading system. The teachers out here are really good in terms of experience and their teaching methodologies.

We had a fresher party last Saturday and our thanks giving party is due on this weekend so hoping to have another blast on the weekend.

Jokes apart, there are a lot of avenues that are available for growth...it finally boils down to one's interest.... Unnati (a mutual fund) run in-house by the students is in great demand..almost everyone in campus wants to be a part of.....
Another factor is the now increased batch size of 185....This has caused a few butterflies in some stomachs here.... Summers will be here soon, and people are eyeing a project in a area of their interest.... Lets see what the future holds.... getting into MDI was the easy part...competing with guys out here and emerging a winner is gonna be the real test..... anyway, I've got to go, can't keep ignoring the accounts book for ever

If getting to MDI was the easiest part pleeeeeeeeeeejjjjjjjjjj give tiips.wanna get in MDI rilly bad especially after visited it wen DAD was doing his EXEC frm MDI.

Its been 3 great weeks at MDI & as they say I M Lovin It (No Copyright infringements)

Well, its fun, its hectic, its superb too sum it up its AMAZING!!!

To talk about the ambience of the classes(sarcasm intended) especially the Accounts lecture which is primarily meant for the Commerce Graduates. . Then, is our Statistics which is Very Easy according to the profs.!! Legal issues is a wholesome fun subject & then we have Human Behaviour & Oral Comm. which are nice ingredients. We finish off with Marketing & Economics which round off our 7 subjects.

Apart from this those SURPRIZE quizzes has rounded me off!! . We have had a Stats, Legal & Accounts quiz. Hope to get good grades in the first two but accounts mein to Balance sheet is out of balance. Asked seniors about the whole accounts issue & they said u can only hv a loss account baaki profit account k liye to study hard!!!. Apart from this Oral Comm k extempore mein yours truly got a surprising 4.5 on 5 .

Apni class ko represent karne k liye we have finally chosen a CR. Bhaiya party to do!!!.

Football to khel hi nahi paaye jab se entry li hai, but now from this week will definitely play in the rains.

Have a couple of assignments lined up for this week & some case studies!!

But everything else is gr8!!. IDPL is out of this world(I mean it). It has got extensive fauna & flora(learned this in Geography i beleive). The IDPL Cup is going strong with Bungalow 3 winning sme cliffhangers (my team). Floodlights hv been set up. And boundary k bahar pavillion is setup in order to search for ball in case it is lobbed high & far.!!

Looking forward to next week & till then its odios from me!!

well...

here go the last two weeks...

making PPTs, presentations, two major nightout parties, making some reports, coping up with french, having some serius fun during the 3 hour behemoth classes, and well rest doesnt seem worth mentioning now...

one good thing about the week,... reinforced the belief that any assignment, apparently however tuf can be made in one night if done on the night b4 the assignment...

we have had some presentations so far,.. and IM batch has truly been woooohooooo.... serious sarcasm during the questions round after presentation, and during the presentation some serious attitute and humour by the presenters... the label I got was too casual...
spoke with hands in pockets and used lota slangs ...
though improved a lot by the second one...

so assignments dont bother me now ...
besides that the PGIM batch is having a chill time ... just 4 subjects... so kinda laying off...
party twice every week coz ders nothing else to do for one and dat its anticipated dat next month on we wud be the most workloaded ppl so trying to live our lives b4 dat...

another one ... got highest marks in a quiz 8 on 10...

and ironically lowest in another... 0 on 10...
both by the same prof...
(the quiz has +1 -1 marking system... )

ciya in d next post now...

the past several weeks have really been quite enjoin out here with a mix of projects and group assignments and pre reading as a part of the routine work...
most of the batch seems to be getting serious for the mid terms which are starting from 1st aug and most of us are studying for maintaining our CGPA...
so really had a good visit over several malls in gurgaon....which are a plenty here...rest weekends are quite boring out here with most of the guys going to their homes in delhi...
will get back soon by next weekend...
