Frustrated? Perhaps....
It’s been just a little over three months since this leg of my life’s journey began. It’s been a bumpy ride thus far, and I only expect it to get bumpier. After all a wise person once said..” The road to success is always under construction.” Sad, yet true.
So what is this obsession that Indian B-Schools have with exams? In the past 3 months, I may have written close to 12 exams!! That never happened in school or during my undergrad. So here I’m thinking (after spending a god awful amount of moolah!)..is it really worth it? When I go in for recruitment, is the company going to ask me my GPA or will they be assessing my competencies? Am I not supposed to be groomed to be a manager, a citizen of the world? Sure, anyone can memorize the formula for WACC and BETA, but what about learning how to network or to have an intelligent conversation? Now there’s a question.
During a typical week here, we have atleast 2-3 quizzes a day, about 2 group assignments and ofcourse one exam. Then there is the fact that the mid-term exam is usually held after 1 week of classes, while the end-term is the following week! Oh, and they expect us to learn all the in’s and out’s of financial management in 2 weeks FLAT! Hmm..if I could do that, would I really be here?
About the management here…what can I say, except – over worked and under-paid. Our course coordinator is a really nice guy, but seems to be everyone’s punching bag. Definitely would not want HIS job. Then there is the man who calls himself the “Warden.” I call him greaseball! Has an advantage though. No one here actually understands a word he speaks, which means he gets away by doing a lot of nothing. So, there you go. An interesting snapshot of my life.
Hmm…looks like this one has turned out to be a bitch session. Probably coz I have 2 exams tomorrow, and no inclination to study. Productivity level today seems to be pretty damn low. So it’s time for me to motivate myself and actually get something done. Till later then…Au Revoir!
