Well said prabal.. its gud to see the enthusiasm in our batch.. u r bound to feel the heat.. Despite the hectic schedule, the best thing i like about this place is the variety of options that we have in our free time(whatever scarce it may be).. so one can relax in any way he/she feels like.. so u can enjoy in 'n'(given n is large) no of ways.. Its so much happening here.. So today u r having a kite flyin competition(reminds me of the old days).. then a movie is to b screened in the audi(oops movie at the audi is a real delight).. then u may beat the heat with swimmming.... play any sport u like(with awesome grounds its a sportsman delight).. the list goes on and on.. and still if u r a lazy one(like me)then u can download any damn movie on one of the most powerful lan network in this country.. sit back and relax....
But believe me u have to be really good at time management to get all the fun with the work here.. so a test of management right from the start..
so thumbs up for mba@iitk

hi all,
Wish u all a very happy independence day.. our nation is 60 years 'young' now.. we have come a long way and still have to traverse greater heights.. we owe to the nation and being a part of the most prestigious institutes in this country, its our duty to steer the nation on a prgressive course..
perhaps the govt realises the importance of institutes like IITs and that's why the PM today announced of opening 'five new Indian Institutes of Science Education and Research, eight new IITs, seven new IIMs and 20 new Indian Institutes of Information Technology' .. so may be in the comin years IITs would not be a rare species


Proud to be an Indian..

Hello Friends,

Recently Business club of IIT K , commonly known as B-club, was in the news at IIT K and the reason was that as part of its activities, the club was going to organise its most awaited seminar on business related topic by B club members. This time the topic cloosen was "Stock Market Analysis" and all those MBA people for whom the word "Stock" is a passion shared their experience with the IIT K junta. This time first year MBA people were give the chance to share their experiences in the stock market and second year guys also contributed. The unpredictable element of the stock market was also seen in the audi, where people present were almost more than double of what we intitally expected. For those people who were new to the stock field, some basis and elementry aspects of the market were also touched upon. It was a great fun and a learning experience for all those who were present there and the presentation was ended with a promise of one more lecture series on more business related topic. I think, the recent increase in enthu about business can easily be justified. The good thing about stock market is the whether it's bull market or bear market , it always remains interesting. Isn't it??

cheers,

hello Adtiya,

It's good to know that you are feeling inclined towards business world and wants to approach it with open eyes. Adtiya, if you want to get the feeling of business world, from my personal experience all i can say that....

1. The real learning and business experience comes when you are in a job and have some job experience. When you are in a job, you really feel as if you are part of this business world and get to know about the know-how of business and how companies functions. If you can get the feel of business, without being part of it ( which actually very few people get it), you can think of MBA directly after your graduation.

2. Enter in stock market. If you want to get an early experience better you start now, or start when you are in job. There is a site known as monercontrol.com and there you can play stock market virtually. But, personally i say that, unless and until you enter with real money, you won't be able to learn much and won't take it seriously. Start with a low amount say 10000 and see how you perform and stock market is the surest and the best way to get a feeling of what business is all about. But, beware if you feel that your studies are getting hampered, better to stay way from it till you get into an organisation.

3.Start with The economics times, read business week and business world and case studies there and they will keep you updated with all the information. i won't suggest you to read them throughly, but be in touch with all the latest development and happenings like M&A, SEZ, new product launch to name a few.

4. In starting you may feel that, some things may not interest you, but my request to you is that pls. do not give up in the begining itself. Just go thro' the things once. What all matters is that whether you give up or not. Starting any thing is not a big deal.

cheers,
Vikram

Today, for a change, we were coached by our seniors.(the weekend being the only time for such activities). And the course we were coached were was accounting. Apart from the usual lectures which we get from our Prof. Phani (he being the real king of this subject:satisfie, our seniors gave us the opportunity to have an interactive session where they shared their experiences and the difficulties they faced in this subject. And then came some useful tips to overcome them and a polite submission of them being in the same state last year (surely giving us a confidence that we could overcome it as well). We asked tons of questions but thanks to our seniors who patiently answered them all.The session ended with the promise of coming up with more of similar events. And not only in accounting, but in other courses as well. Surely, they deserve a thunderous applause and a promise that we won’t let their efforts in vain..

Hey Chaps !!
Chill ....
After doses of Finance & Accounting, now come the dragon "Operations".
Linear Programming coupled with principles of Duality"...simply amazing !!
Today's first Operations Research Quiz has brought every ego down to earth wondering whether we could actually absorbed the big applications of the field (or we have to start from scratch again!!!).
Even the mechanical chaps (majority people here) were left stranded with the beauty of the questions asked, doing nothing than simply poking into each other's answer sheets only to find the consolation that the other person is also laundering at the same page.
Operations savvy elements, just pull up ur socks..IIT K MBA operations will just rock u !!

And ya, in this ho-halla don't forget the Java and Oracle classes which r consistently hovering around our necks to squeeze us !!!

Keep rocking guys..
