Life @ KCT Business School

Hi...

I would like introduce myself as a part of KCT Business School where the focus is on holistic development of each one of us. Our life here is a vibrant mixture of learning and application of it. We are realising our true inner potential and utilizing it to the optimum.
Here we are given a feeling of home away from home. Our faculties make sure that there is nothing that troubles us. Our innovations and ideas are appreciated and accepted, helping us grow better and more potent.
Output of our work is not judged by just our transcripts but by the way we percieve it. It is fun to start each day with a store of creative approaches to solve each query posed to us. Our interests in other activities are encouraged through leagues. And forums help us to practice many concepts that would have otherwise been between us and our books.
There is nothing that can replace this kind of an atmosphere designed to nurture budding transformational leaders

I'm feeling just so happy that we're chilling out for New Year though we have model exam tomorrow....

Happyyyyyyyyyyyyy new year everyone

Not a day seemed dreary or lazy.... Each started with a hype which just kept going through out!!!
Many lessons that we would carry for a life time were taught...
A tower building activity was conducted to show that creative managers produce output that survive the longest...
Each day each activity put us in different teams teaching us to appreciate our similarity and celebrate our differences!!!
Working on field was lots of fun...
Looking forward for a host of new activities that engage us and will give us a flavour of real managerial skills in the upcoming semesters too!!!

Today we had an orientation session by the IMAYAM group headed by Ms. Parameshwari and Ms. Meenakshi who shared their insights on what in reality is an NGO and how it works. The session gave us a taste of the group that really needs our support. The session also helped us plan on our strategies to empower this group.
It is going to be field work from tomorrow and the entire Business School is excited about being on field and giving our tiny bit for the cause of building our society

After two days of CEP and getting in touch with the real India our learnings are lot more than we expected and we're happy about the tiny bit we're giving back to our society!!!

Hope the next three days teach us a lot more and would be an opportunity to lend our hand to uplift our society

After the completion of Semester-1 exams the 1st year MBA were engaged in Community Engagement Project (CEP). The titles of the CEP were,

1. Energy conservation awareness project
2. Center for Child care
3. Home for Destitute children
4. Student Empowerment
5. Rural Women Empowerment
6. T.B testing and Awareness program.
The IMAYAM group which has tie ups with many institutions, corporate and also works for government schemes has arranged this CEP with KCT School of Business.
During CEP:
The students learnt a lot about public relations, status of rural India, marketing, convincing people, economical status of families in rural areas, problems in rural parts of India, facilities in Schools across Coimbatore, etc.
The CEP was done successfully and the students are expected to submit the reports regarding their survey or project.

The DPL which held on 9th & 10th Feb 2013 in KCT Business School was a grand success. The DPL served as a platform for the interaction between the Corporate employees and the Business school students. The DPL also served as a stress buster and the participants enjoyed alot in KCT.BS. The Kongu Engineering College Team won the cup in DPL.

At the end of another informative day where we had a guest lecture on "The Usage of EBSCO for Literature Survey" by the Assistant Librarian of Kumaraguru College of Technology we learnt how to make an optimum use of the software.

The session covered the advanced search techniques and how to apply them.

Today it was finance forum that made the day exciting!!

150 minutes and two activities made the forum a fun experience with lots of learnings to take back.
Activity 1 was identification of accounting terms with the help of clues given. It was a combination of technical as well as creative clues.... The teams came out with innovative clues that helped in the identification of the correct accounting terms.
Activity 2, a simulation game which involved planning the right strategy to sustain business and maximize profit. The game gave us a platform to evaluate a market situation and plan strategies to suit the changes in the market and also to analyze the impact of different news items on business
Steve Jobs Birthday celebrations by Systems Centre of KCT.BS
