Lots of people come up with aspirations of trying and doing different things when they realize an MBA in an IIM.Few people think of exploring various things and doing the best, suiting to them.Some people have a preconceived idea of what they want to do and take all chances to do the same.For some people , money is the most important motivating factor and intend to do specialization in the field which gives the best rewards.Some people feel for their passion and try to live up to it.All this leads to a rat race of grades and placements.
A lots of people are not only concerned about their grades but also make sure that the grades of the rest are not good enough compared to them.A few instances I have noticed made me feel so pity about them.
A notion by a classmate of mine who says that grades are proportional to the intelligence you have and hence I am in race for grades makes me pity about him.
I actually have a confusion.Should I pity for the people who are so concerned about their grades.Should I pity about the people who believe in the thought that intelligence is reflected by grades?Should I pity myself for being lackadaisical and boasting about importance of learning than grades?
Eventually two of the three kinds would be idiots and one will be intelligent.But who will it be and how fair would it be ?
Another food for thought is how relevant MBA is making you realize your area of interest.With the rat race all over and everybody in one or the other way trying to play all the strategies of game theory , how much is each individual's choice acknowledged.Here the comparison of Indian b-schools and the quality of education and learning they intend to inculcate in comparison with the global b-schools also comes into picture.
Is two years a good enough time to learn all the nuances of management?
To my knowledge, the institutions focus more on teaching about how to manage things rather than learning? Is this justified ? Is all the job of them to make us a manager right? Is there any focus on creating things rather than managing things?
India needs more creators rather than managers.Hence the focus of education should be for creating things.This poses another question of introducing degrees which teaches us both technical and managerial skills.
I am reminded of Ayn rand's Atlas Shrugged which emphasizes the importance of creators.In the preface of it , there is a beautiful quote which says World lies in the hands of creators and they are responsible to move the society forward.
My confusion still prevails and I have been trying to find answers for all these questions and many more since I entered into masters of Management.
