How to choose an open economy Business School.

How to choose an open economy Business school is a million dollar question which goes around the minds of every MBA or PGDM aspirants. Let me share my opinion. From my experience, I personally feel that the Closed Economy Business Schools were more focussing on the hypothetical factors like knowledge and skill areas. Whereas the Open Economy Business Schools these days focus more on unseen or abstract factors like attitude and soft skill necessities of a student side by side with the development of knowlege and skill areas. In open economy Business schools, lot more activities and events are happening. Gone are those days when the students used to be confined within the 4 walls of a classroom. Now a days, education starts from.the moment you enter inside a Business School and start interacting with a student coming from a different part of the country. What I mean to say is that for the present generation MBA aspirants, the education starts with the internal communications, sharing of knowledge and cultural attributes, learning the demographic and psychographic attributes and diversities of each other . These are the factors which will shape the right attitude, body languages, communication styles of the MBA aspirants and will distinguish them with a different pedigree from the rest of the world. 

So as a first priority, a student has to look for a cosmopolitan environment in a 21st Century Business School where the students and teachers will come from different diversities.

The Pedagogy of a Business School plays the crucial role where the teaching methodology should be more inclined towards adult education system . What I mean to say is that apart from the theoretical exercises, more focus has to be given towards the implementation process of whatever is taught inside the classroom so that a MBA aspirant can learn to handle the crisis situations and the objection handling. So the updated case studies, the live projects, the collection of research papers of the faculty members in the library along with regular industry visits and Corporate Guest Lecture sessions will play crucial role.

And ofcourse you need the advanced infrastructure and technology walking side by side to give a complete shape to a 21st Century Open economy Business School.

I am associated with Unitedworld School of Business which is a part of Karnavati University. I would invite all of you to visit the lush green, eco-friendly campus of Karnavati University with the 21st Century State Of The Art Infrastructure which offers a play ground with eight floodlight stands, a parlour, a worldclass modern gym, two ampitheatres,5 residential girls hostel and a boys hostel, a huge 500 seater AC Cafeteria, a basketball and a DJ ground, advanced digital communication labs and tools, Open air food and freakout zones, a huge central library and what not. These may sound lavish, but then today's generation need the help of advanced infrastructure and technology to motivate themselves. The moment you step into a 21st Century Business School, you must have a feel as if you have stepped into a Corporate World where you have to spend the two most important years of your life which will decide your career. To cope up with the study pressure, you need to rewind and refresh your mind. So ideally you must get all facilities inside the campus .

The vibrant student life with regular events, sports and festivals happening inside the campus will create a free atmosphere inside the campus so that you interact with each other freely inside the campus and this will increase your emotional involvement with the campus as well as the curriculum. 
Ofcourse the factors like updated curriculum, strength of the intellectual resource base, placement profiles, strong alumni network and the background of the Institute plays very impotant role. 

So in a nutshell, please concentrate on the following factors while choosing a B School :

1. Cosmo peer group/ Cosmopolitan environment.

2. Infrastructure and Technology

3. Student Life

4. Soft Skill Development

5. Pedagogy

6. Curriculum

7. Stength of the Intellectual Resource Base.

8. Placement

9. Demographic and Psychographic quality of the students.

10. Background of the Institute.

How I wonder what you are ?

The blinking stars neighbouring the moon are our greatest friends condoling the concealed sorrows of our day to day life. If you are suffering from depression or loneliness, reach your rooftop in a full moon night or lie down in a lonely sea beach engulfed with the bright rays of moon and watch towards the twinkling stars far away. Close your eyes for a while and think about the person you are missing in your life and then open your eyes and stare at the stars miles away. The flickering stars, as if whispering to your ears about the whereabouts of your love and speaking to your heart that all is well. Just the way, the moon alone keeps shining everynight besieged by the glimmering stars signifying the shimmering hopes needed for our survival in this world, we need to smile in our small journey of life creating a sky with millions of stars glinting optimism inspite of the flowing sorrows. You need a big heart to be a well wisher for a person who walked away from you. But the...

A day as a green grocer in a gloomy Sikkim Village. Organic farming and Terrace cultivation in Sikkim. 

Image
It was 7 am in a Sunday morning as I reached a small gloomy village of East Sikkim bedraggled with the monsoon rain. The Lepcha village girl having a small vegetable shop in the lonely curve of a mountain was waiting for me with the morning breakfast and tea. There was a light drizzle going on since morning and after breakfast, we trekked through the wet and slippery muddy track towards the National Highway on the ridge where she has a small vegetable shop made with bamboo pillars and thatched cover to protect her from rain. Just behind the shop, there was a steep slope at an elevation of 7000 ft. above the sea level and we could see through the thin layer of dangling mist, a thread like twisted river flowing through the dark green valleys.  The simple village life of Sikkim has always  created inquisitiveness in my heart. While marching through the isolated undulating ways with hardly any signs of population, I have seen small shops of vegetables on the road sides with th...

Paranormal activities. Do you believe in Ghosts ? If yes then read this article. otherwise ignore.

Image
From my Paranormal Activity Diary based on my experiences. They exist between you and me. They subsist infront of our eyes, in the same locality or place perhaps where we stay. We feel their presence. But we human beings do not have the capacity to identify them because our eyes can only support two dimensional vision. That's why we sometimes find the cats, dogs or animals making odd and untimely chaos in late nights. Just because the animals, particularly the dogs have seven dimensional vision supported by their eyes. And those about whom I am discussing are also having seven dimensional vision. The best way to identify them is by keeping a cat or a dog as a pet in your home. Remember, these pets can easily detect their presence and that's why when everyone sleep, they make noises because they can see and feel their existence. Yes, you are correct. I am talking about the supernaturals. I have never ever underestimated the facts about their perseverence....
