What is the first thing that comes to your mind when someone talks about MBA or management schools? Students dressed in formals all geared up for presentations, back-to-back lectures, late-night group studies, campus placements, etc. are the things that come to mind. Surviving in a good management school is undoubtedly very difficult. However, it would be unfair to say that the management students do not get to have any fun at all, because they do. Almost every college- management or otherwise- nowadays hosts its annual festival which gives students ample opportunities to learn as well as have fun.
It usually starts with formation of a cultural committee composed of students from various departments after several rounds of interviews. There are other ways as well, of course. For instance, each department takes complete responsibility of all activities pertaining to the department. Students are also expected to put up a good show despite the hectic schedule observed in all good Delhi management institutes. Students try to miss minimum classes to prepare for the events in the fests. While they are required to put in extra efforts in academics after the fest, many students don’t seem to mind because they enjoy arranging and participating in the events.
Many consider this a waste of time, but what they do not realise is that organising events helps students in their overall growth as well. Team spirit, an essential characteristic of a good manager, can be learnt through such events as there is no way one person can organise the fest on his/her own. Students learn to work in teams, allocate work, coordinate effectively, manage time, etc. – everything they will be required to do as managers.
Hence, if you do manage to get admission in one of the top ranked MBA colleges in Delhi, make sure you do contribute in the annual fest in some form. Not only would you have a lot of fun, you are bound to make great friends and learn more skills in the process.
