Offers on the spot and away from it!!!

To my still remaining readers of this blogspace, I am extremely sorry for being a lazy bone and not updating this site for a long long time.
Thoughts have been flowing, but the mind somewhat wasn't much bent on sitting down to write. And writers block etc is a junk statement for someone who is not a writer.
So now that I got a few days respite from the pressure of the academia, and bored to the extremes with nothing much to do, I thought "why not write and revive this blog" and here I am writing and jabbering.
The last 2 months of our "late schooling" has been a hectic and stressful time due to the placements.
Placements in any B School is a crucial event and its an amazing experience. It is more so in a school of repute as the complexity rises exponentially. Ours was no different. The month preceeding the placement was one full of worries and constant consternations as to whether any company worth the name will come for us. Thereafter as the countdown changed from weeks into days, the mood was gradually pepperred with a dash of optimism. And the D Day was just an amazing experience. My co-participants were just gushing and the mobile phone lines were heavily loaded with information being passed to and sometimes consulted with, the waiting family, friends and guides!! If interested, one can read the full story on the institute's website http://www.spjimr.org/media/events/events_full_article.asp?evcode=100

And with the placement session being a huge success, the naysayers would probably attempt to reconcile their views about us and the one year program concept in general. This was also a thumping pat on the back of the participants, who forgot everything and worked incessantly for the success of each and every participant. And the incessant work was backed up by some excellent support from the professors whom we bugged no end as well as some of the industry contacts, whom we interacted with closely. I also feel, the success of a placement is not in the fact that one is placed and placed at a fat pay packet. It is perhaps more apt to say, that the placement is successful when a participant gets the company and role he or she wants to move to and succeed in. I am confident that this was visible in a huge majority for the PGDM Class of 2007. I suppose, I can say now PGDM ROCKS!!
