SESSION 4 INFO

The MBA Project is an initiative by a few students of IIM Calcutta and aims to provide the much-needed guidance to MBA aspirants. Through the sessions, it also plans to raise funds for the COVID relief efforts and e-learning initiatives for the families living on the streets of Kolkata, through its partnership with an International NGO Future Hope. The team has already raised INR 50,000/- so far for this cause.

Successful journey for aspirants with The MBA Project Series

Session 1 on ‘Career Scope’ saw 42 aspirants eager to know more about MBA with respect to other possible options, while Session 2 on ‘Cracking the CAT’ saw 73 aspirants looking forward to know about sectional strategies to crack the most important B-school entrance exam. Session 3 highlighted topics and tips to take note of when attempting ‘Other MBA Exams’ and was taken by a panel of speakers from XLRI, NMIMS, IIFT and IIM Calcutta. The sessions were well received by the attendees who gave encouraging feedback to the team. Their testimonies can be read on The MBA Project’s social media pages.

Next focus: Life In & After MBA
The final session of The MBA Project series is on ‘Life In & After MBA’. It will host speakers having varied academic journeys who have utilized the opportunities provided by an MBA life to derive different professional and personal learnings. The panel has been explicitly chosen to have students who have carved out their professional paths in different domains including Finance, Consulting, Product Management, Marketing & Sales and General Management. The session would give a peek into opportunities an MBA life offers with career trajectories for the various domains. The session on ‘Life In & After MBA’ will be held on 9th August, 5-7.30 PM.

What is the benefit to you?
The aim of The MBA Project is to give you a glimpse into the MBA journeys followed by students and alumni who entered IIM Calcutta after having similar academic and professional backgrounds as you. Each session’s panel will have students from different academic and professional backgrounds and they will be sharing their personal stories with you and help guide you to secure the precious B-school admit.
The four sessions revolve around different aspects of the MBA journey – the decision to pursue MBA, cracking the competitive exams for MBA admission and navigating the B-school life. You can be a part of any or all of the sessions and get your queries resolved.
