Purpose of the thread is to reflect all the happenings in XLRI : GMP ( 1-year program of XLRI) and bring the memories , yaadien of seniors, current batch n coming batches on a common platform. It's different from 2-years as we have to manage all the things in 1-year.
All the mastee in hostel, XLRI - dhaba (next to our Canteen), all the sleepless nights to prepare multiple presentations(invent strategies of companies in span of 2 to 3 hours ....
) , all the partiiesss...., getting up at 8:30 and running in Learning center to attend the lecture at 9.
Some distintive features of XLRI Jamshedpur :
- Campus is full of greenery. A perfect view from my room @ D-101 :)
- XLRI Dhaba, Bishu Da and Dadu's are some of the food joints of XLRI which we are gonna miss after the college days n find the due space in Quizesss and case studies in our lecturessss.......
- JSR is small city with no malls........ 😞 ..miss all the malls n food joints of gurgaon/delhi ........ :|
- Bistupur n Sakchi are our favourite areas as they are closest to the college ...
- If u r fresher, u can get all the information from auto-wallahasss...... 😉 😉
...rest to come in the posts....will try to bring as many people as possible.....

Back to studies, assignments and surprise test! The day began with the Capstone Business simulation exercise (http://www.capsim.com) -- Interesting stuff to say the least, we've more of the Capsim coming in the next few days.
It seems as if the past week flew by in a flash. We had an alumni meet organized in different parts of the country.
Meeting my seniors at Chennai was unimaginably motivating!
And now it looks like we have the next 3 weeks loaded with classes, before we leave to different international destinations for our "Immersion" programs -- learning time in foreign universities.
Signing off for now.

Around 50 of our 120 members are heading to Kolkata for their US VISA Interviews. The campus and hostels are going to sport a deserted look indeed!
Today we came to know that we would be up against a bunch of other colleges from India and Abroad to participate in the Capstone strategy game. Our team is leading in a couple of market segments in the intra-GMP trials, and I hope lady luck does not get tired of us.
Hitting the gym now, adios!

We managed to perform well in this round, despite running into negative cash flows in last round. Had a healthy 3 hour discussion yesterday night on capstone strategy, before heading to Bishuda for a hot plate of "bread bhurji".
