Off to canada for II

>less than 24 hours remaining.. and we all will be flying to Canada for the international immersion program at McGill university (http://www.mcgill.ca/desautels/academic/). going by the experience shared by our previous batch, this should be a unique experience full of fun. and yes, not to forget that we are going to complete two credit courses on managing innovations and international finance while we are there in Montreal.

if i look back now over the last three months which we have spent in the campus, a mix bag of feelings is waiting to be opened.. we all joined this course with hopes n dreams in our eyes, trying to sideline that ever compelling feeling of anxiety because of the bad state of the global economy and its impact on Indian b-schools and their placements..

a glance at the class of 2010 and we can proudly say that we have people from diverse backgrounds like army, merchant navy, bureaucrats, public sectors, merchandising and… and how can we forget the most common species found in the b-schools all over the world.. IIM(Indian IT Male)

we finished two gruelling terms.. got a solid dose of 4P’s to betas, motivational theories to euro dollars, hypothesis tests to npv, capacity plannings to spanish n french… gosh never ever before in my life have i been bombarded with so many drastically diverse things at one go.. and guess what. we already wrote two term exams in three months after digesting all the above fundas…

we had opportunity to hear some of the industry leaders in the leadership talk series.. list includes the likes of Mr. Mukesh Aghi(ceo of steria), Mr Shubhinder Singh(md of reebok), Dr. Praneet Kumar(md of fortis), Mr. S. Udupa(hr head of pwc), Mr. S. Maitra(ed of maruti). we have several other leadership talks lined up once we are back from Canada…
