Here is my initial MBA experience...
I reported to SCMHRD on Friday, 1st June after my Last day at Kanbay on 31st May.
Came I around 8:30 at nite as I had reported in the morning.
To start with college activities, we had our induction on Saturday, 2nd June. Mr. Jagdish Khattar (MD, Maruti Udyog) graced the occasion. He really gave a good and motivating speach. I would good to here to such a big persoanlity on day1 of college. After Mr. Khattar, our director spoke to the gathering and passed on a very clear message to us. "This is not a teaching institute its a learning institue" and that "The is no fun without pain....I am here to give the pain and you are thee to enjoy it!!!" So the college seems to be posing an interesting propotition...
The induction was followed by some breifings by various authorities on a varitey of things including the rules of the college and SIC. We had an OBL the next day, which was quite good. More about the OBL a bit later.
So, Monday onwards began my college life again. Classes, classes and more classes. Well, It has been pretty hectic week here...I am learning to sleep in bits and pieces...Reason ---> have to wake up at 5:30 am Tuesday to Friday as we have compulsory yoga/aerobics from 6 and the hostel is about 1 km from the college campus. And since no bikes allowed :( I end up jogging the distance to the health club.
The regular classes are on, so each one of them brings some work in form of pre-reading/reading/assignments/case studies. Each professor expects us to do the assignment before the next class. So with 18 subjects, the picture isn't rosy at all.
The director is a very strict guy. You never know when he will pop up and spell some bad news..read additional work... for you...But he has a vision for the college. Says he is on a 5 year sabbatical from his work (3 of which have passed) and plans to make SCMHRD on par with the IIM's by the time he leaves.... So hopefully all the above things are for my good in the future.
The campus has good facilities. Food is much better than the food at Kanbay :). So, I am better off in this regard. The Hostel rooms are also pretty good. We have a swiming pool, gym, etc. so a good overall exposure and development possibility. How much of this I use, that only time will tell. Speaking of Hostel life.. how can i forget my roomies...there are two of them...one is Aditya Ramesh from Bangalore...an engineer with a 3 yr work-ex..has done some ERP implementations too and other is Ajay D'souza, a techie geek from Mumbai also an engineer with 2 yr work-ex....
And ya, the batch is pretty good here. 70% of the batch has prior work-ex and also the batch is quite green too...So i am sure would would like to visit us during our college fests :)
