This thread is for all the PUMBAites of 2009-11 batch to share their experiences of the first few days we attended at PUMBA. This is my experience :
It was the 10th of August..the first day at PUMBA..jam packed with students..new faces..new beginning..some uncles (I’ll get back to this part, later.. thought of them as Faculty though).
I was late so somehow managed to get a seat in the second row. Soon our Dean Dr.Capt.C.M.Chitale and our HoD Dr.B.V.Sangvikar addressed us about PUMBA. The first impression I got was it DEFINITELY IS A PROFESSIONAL INSTITUTE. And this impression is now imprintedUnfortunately because of swine flu things got postponed and classes were to begin after two weeks. Nevertheless after two weeks all of us assembled in our classes and it was a postponed start but surely a start to lot many things..or to rephrase it a kick off to many friendships and beginnings in very little time.
The driving force at PUMBA is the students.In one of our introductory sessions, one of our senior told us that “yaha pe, koi patta (leaf) bhi students ki vajah se hii hilta hai”. True to the very essence of the term we normally come across “a student driven institute”. Our seniors did a fantastic job of handling our induction and inviting eminent personalities from diverse backgrounds. Our classes are being held by professors who not only know their subject so well but also with their expertise in so many other fields, we receive inputs about so many things all at the same time, of course helping us to know how the industry works and its expectations.
During our introductory classes we came across few GUYS. These guys were on a special mission here straight from the INDIAN ARMY and their mission was to be a part of our batch
. They are eight in number, but all of them having experience of atleast 18 years in the army. I would like to highlight this aspect because during our stay here at PUMBA, I know how much our batch is going to be blessed, majorly, with their experience. They have been given 2 years official leave and been asked to enhance and enrich their valuable experience and skills with MBA from our institute. This in itself is one of the things that we can surely boast about. Our batch, being the first, to learn and load ourselves from their experience.
The first few days have been very professional. We have been introduced to the many cells in PUMBA, which are student driven and are handled only by the students. People from different backgrounds, around half of them with work experience ranging from 6-50 months, form the current batch. We are getting to know what professionalism is and also learn at the same time, to be and act professional. It is expected of us to be at the top and I believe within these two years, all of us here would imbibe the qualities required to be at the top. Our asset, I felt within these few days, lies in all of Us. As our Dean said to us, it is the students who make the institute grow and they are its brand ambassadors.
I feel proud to be a part of this very huge and ever increasing family and am very proud to say I am a PUMBAite.
