Welcome to IIFT Delhi and your Corporate Life takes a jump of 100 Index Points
MBA(I  MBA with the a new "perspective" with International running in the foreground always ....where else do we get to study subjects like International Market Research and International Business Strategy and still come back to Yoga to relax and unwind.Its more of a whole MBA course plus IB so all the conventional subjects like Economics,Marketing,Finance have their International Counterparts...which prepares you for the Rigours of the new Economy Corporate Life from the day one.With 9 Courses in the first Tri.Sem we all are prepared to tackle the roller Coaster ahead...As you stroll up the Footsteps to your Hostel room thinking on the 4-Ps you have those Kotler Inspired nerves and nostrils yearning for the IIFT Dhabha and Tanku's where amazing Paranthas are served under the CANOPY of Sanjay VaN for All the to - be Managers.
With Upcoming events like BT Acumen,Motley Blue and IIFT's Black Mist theres lotsa for a creative soul to bite onto.
For a 43 Year Old Institution its an amazing Place for a young soul waiting to discover the Manager in her/him.
Get up in the morning and you have the Qutub Minar Welcoming you in your balcony....
Its cool to make out the Outlines of the Building when its raining.....
for a price of an entrance Test and a good GD/PI it seems to be a win win bargain
IIFT Delhi School Of International Business where IB never Sleeps.

Life @ IIFT Delhi starts off at 5:30 in the morning, when your roommate wakes you up for the impending Yoga session at 6:00 AM. The regular procrastinator that you are, you sit up on your sleepy a*&, momentarily, just to make your concerned roommate happy. Once the roommate fizzes out into the bathroom to do the regular chores, you fall back, only to be punched hard after 15 minutes. Suddenly realization dawns…damn…yoga is compulsory, and yes…u need to maintain the 75% attendance critireon.
One hour of the sacred suryanamaskaras and the pranayamas make sure that whatever little remnants of sleep that's left in you vanishes. You get back to your room at 7:00 AM, and start getting ready for your classes.
The classes keep you occupied till 6:30 (sometimes, even 8:30) in the evening, with intervals that can range from 15 minutes to 2 hours, depending on your fortune for the day.
The classes are intertwined sporadically with visits from eminent corporates like Larry Murphy (COO, UBS) (loads and loads of gyaan ).
6:30 - 9:30 can involve any of these:
- A power Nap
- Bakar
- Club interactions (Fin, Marketing, Trade, Consulting & Entrepreneurship)
- Shopping (SIM Cards are of utmost priority in this sector )
- A brief visit to the hostel if u're one of those Delhi-Viral-Victims (quite a few of them were down in the first week)
- An introspective swell of pride - the General euphoria about how great a place IIFT is
(or) Resenting on the biggest mistake you've made till date - opting for an MBA - and discussing it with your batchmates (believe you me, this is undoubtedly the best way to get to know your batchmates)
- Coursework (only if you've got nothing better to do )
A brief dinner later, 10:00 sharp, the PDPs start and the interaction game begins. Talent shows, freak intros, skits, advertising campaigns...they've got it all. You are free any minute from 2.30 - 3:00 AM, and then you retire for the day...only to find yourself being kicked on your a*& two hours later.
Added info:
IIFT generally doesn't have the funda of weekends...U are loaded 24X7 ... if u'd ask me, I'd say that we're damn lucky to have a weekend in between...created a new record of sorts by sleeping for 18 hours on the trot :O .

hmmm so life @ a b-school .... well kaha se shuru karu ..... one place ... 100 + characters ..... many emotions ... and its all a big gaseous drama
yeh i knw an arbit statement .... but wat is MBA aftr all .... arbit and gas ......
well to strt with ... i was seriously disappointed when i came to knw tht tati wudn't b in my section ..... it always happens ths way ... u dont get sumthng fr which u wait eagerly ...... at times i really feel bad tht we r nt in the same class and thus unable to interact much ..... chiya is also in tati's section ... and amarwa bhai is a pretty laconic guy fr whom a guy like me is definitely frivoulous
course and the insti -- well the hardcore fin/mrktng subs hv nt strtd yet (will b in the 2nd and 3rd trim) so nt in a position to comment on ths coz the subjects we hv right nw like psycho, maths, etc ... well i dont really like them so fr me its boring neways
certain thngs r being said about me .... to put the record straight, i have hardly interacted with any of the girls ... infact dunno the names of most of them !! its jst a ploy by tati to malign my decent 'single' image !!! .... tati beware
as usual ... i gotta get back to my assignments so peeps keep rocking and keep chkng out this thread as we will b more active in the days to come ..... !!!

.I'm currently experiencing life @ speed of light...and I mean it literally.
There's this funda that the best of the time-managers are those who don't have the word 'Time Management' in their dictionary. Now, I didn't believe this until a few days back, when I actually stopped noticing that I was lacking in sleep.
2 hrs per day is what I'm getting down here, and damn...I don't regret it!
Here's what the schedule for the next two days reads:
1. 3 assignments submission, that comprise 60% of the evaluation-work for the subject 'Principles of Management'. This includes a presentation.
2. Quizzes and Mid-terms of certain subjects...the amount that we're supposed to read here, for a mid-term, believe me, is much more than what I've done in a year in engineering.
Will update on further happenings as soon as I'm done with these activities.
- An insomniac in the making
