Just opt for MBA once, your life will be sorted!

Bas ek baare MBA karle, Fir Life Set! Like all other milestones, this is the last educational achievement you have! (Usually in India)

Isn't this a common phrase, every MBA aspirant gets to hear?

High packages lavish brands are all that the outside world looks at, but as aspirants and further as students; our lives are not glittery but a roller coaster ride as we enter the great doors of the institution.

Let’s decode the formula to this “Set Life” and debunk the factors you should focus on to live a full MBA circle life.

1. Classes & Assignments

   No points for guessing that, right? You will attend classes, prepare the pre-reads and submit your EOD assignments. But the catch is that you should opt-in for subjects that you interest in or want to explore.

   Prioritize your reads and assignments because working on each one is tough and hence a balance is required to become ‘Jack of all Trades’.

2. Corporate Competitions/ Case Study

   everyone has a different outlook and views towards competition- while some do to win the prize and others just do it for fun and learning. No doubt, winning big sums from some reputed brands is always the reward for enrolling in competitions. Often people choose between B-School and corporate ones and only a few of the lot kinda participate. My view is participation and dedicating some designated hours not only enhance your industry knowledge but also provide you with great exposure.

   Not to forget that this is a shortcut to some build some kickass network within and outside your campus.

3. MBA Parties

   Whatever the occasion be, we just need a reason to chill, gather together, and party. A detour is always required while we all are hustling with the usual MBA setup and all we can think of is to celebrate and shake our legs together till late at night and unwind. Don’t cut off from your batch and be a social person (read Party Animal), hop into parties, meet people outside your core group of friends, and have great conversations.

   You never know, what new comes up in your head and metamorph into something stellar.

4. Late Night Discussions

   The night is the time when we are super active in MBA days. No matter you were a morning or a night person, you gotta turn into a night person for sure because that is when life happens inside the campus. With everyone done with their classes and mandate stuff, 10 PM onwards is the time we get to be ourselves. We take charge and plan how we want to spend those hours. Be a member of group discussions happening at the night canteens and famous nooks and corners of the campus.

   You might also find the groups occupying lecture halls working on random stuff or exploring something new. This is the time we connect to the real world existing outside the four walls of the institute.

5. Sleep

   Finally a brownie factor! Often we hear that MBA peeps are so busy that they are unable to catch up on the sleep. Well, while you were reading points 3 & 4, this might be true for some, and for others, this is a way of MBA life.

   A genuine and logical answer is that we all want to maximize the experience we attain in two years and so we constantly indulge in the decision-making of what to do next. Sometimes free and other time busy, we spare time for our sleep as we do for chilling and all other activities. After all, we are humans and need good sleep to function.

   We pick our slots and head straight to bed for a healthy mind and body, just the way is different (depending on our deliverables and day plans),
