Decided to Pursue my MBA from SCMHRD

This is going to be my primary attempt at blogging... So please let me know your suggestion and comments...

I have decided to pursue my MBA after having worked for 2 years at Kanbay on Credit Cards. I have decide to pursue it from Symbiosis Centre for Management and Human Resource Development, SCMHRD, Pune...However, taking this step hasn't been easy.

I had never imagined that I will end up taking the offer from SCMHRD even after appearing for the GDPI of the institute. At that time, there were many reasons for this. One of them being a part of me wanted to give CAT 07 a shot again. Another one was because it isn't in the top 10. At that time I had my lone top 10 call in the form of IIFT (which unfortunately I couldn't convert for reasons unknown to me cause i had a good GD and PI there too) and was probably expecting one more coz of my XAT score. But even that didn't happen. (Again the institute don't give me a concrete reply on the question "Why not")

However, things change, opinions change. The pace at which this institute has been growing over the recent years, coupled with the fact that it was in Pune, the 'Oxford of the East' and its proximity to Mumbai. Another point is that I am keen on doing my majors in Finance and not Systems and this made me choose this offer over my other offers from VGSOM (IIT Kgp) and XIMB, both of which (from what I have gathered from people) would have been the place for systems.

Whether I have taken the right decision or not only time will tell. But then I guess the college name counts in getting one a good 1st job only. After that its your performance at work which counts and not your college name which seems quite evident from what I have observed here at Kanbay. So though some may feel that I may not be moving in the right direction by joining a Symbi after my engineering @ VNIT, Nagpur; I hope I will prove them wrong 2-3 years down the line. I hope to give my best in the 2 coming years and come out in flying colours.

I hope to put down the important events (i.e. if I have time off from the hectic MBA schedule :) ) that as and when they occur as I undertake this journey, a journey towards a better future, a journey towards success....
