Why the students here leave a rich legacy...


Summers are fast approaching. For us lesser mortals who don’t have either a good academic background or any work experience, filling two pages of resume is daunting, to say the least. Or for that matter, being interviewed by sharp eyed HRs.

This is where the seniors come. I’ve done my schooling and undergrad, but nowhere have I seen this level of mentor-protégé relationship. May be B-school is a different ball game, or that this happens everywhere, so why not here? Whatever it is, it’s great!

It’s not just the formal placement committee that’s taking up all the initiative, but seniors go out of the way, just to make sure that we don’t mess things at the D-day. Like my tam seniors who hold mock GD/PI sessions with ruthless feedback, or sigfi forums (must see it sometime). Some may feel that too much of such things may prove redundant, but I see the noble intention of these seniors who have nothing to get in return.

This is a rich legacy, which we will give to our juniors next year, and it’s something we can be proud of.

Kudos to your seniors!

As Camus said, "Real generosity toward the future consists in giving all to what is present." That's what these individuals are doing, and so will you, to maintain a tradition which incidentally also ensures quality end products that will be highly marketable.
