ALUMNUS - The Dependable !!!!

With increasing youth population, there has been considerable increase in competition. It is the matter of survival of the fittest. If you are running with the pace of others then you are well on the path of success else you are left way back and end up living a life of a normal man. Though there are many paths to achieve success, but every path itself has an inherent race. Choosing paths are people's choice but getting ahead of those people is your choice.

MBA is one of the most sought path and ambitious people regard it as the stepping stone towards success. People from diverse background strive for responsible positions in their respective industries. With increase in the popularity, there has been increase in number of people aspiring for the same. To cater such need, there has been introduction of new colleges with increased number of intakes. As the race has gone bigger, choice of path has also become critical. People have started focusing more on colleges of rich background, rich Alumni and of course the brand.

Strong Alumni is the best selling point for any college. Students after joining mostly get confused seeing so many options. Clarity in their minds and knowledge of the process that need to be followed to achieve what they want can only be delivered by people who have been through their path. Here comes the main role of Alumni to show the path to their juniors, give them clarity and channelize their thoughts.

On July 19, there was a session by Abhishek Kochar - pass out of NITIE (IM'12 batch) and working as Senior Consultant, KPMG - in NITIE. He gave us the insights over different Consultancy domains students can aim for. After 10 -15 min of introduction, students' questions were all over him. He calmly clarified all the doubts students had over the work culture, switching difficulties one face while going from one industry to other, hierarchies consultancy companies follow, how to come over difficult situations during work, and many more. Many students including me felt pretty much satisfied with his answers and was able to get the thinking process much clearer. At the end, there was felicitation by NITIE Alumni Committee for his insightful presence. He also took the committee for a treat as a thankful gesture.

In the end, I would like to say choosing college is your choice. So make your choice count by interacting with its Alumni as no body can give you more knowledge than the people who are pass out of that college. Alumni is always there to help their juniors it is just matter of time when they get free from their busy schedule to help them.
