Share with us some of your favorite college memories – Sad, pleasant or anything?
To name a few sad/pleasant memories would be unfair as the number is beyond infinity – RAJNIKANT !!! Still, among the pleasant ones – I remember the good times spent organizing the college festivals and staying back at night in college, fun while travelling with friends getting a chance to gossip more, Industrial Visits, Doing Projects – I actually loved them and many more !!!! – Sad memories – Lets keep it undisclosed only 🙂
What has BMS life taught you?
Well, loads many things and I can go on n on n on…. Professionalism, Business Etiquettes, Built Confidence, Removed Stage Fear, Communication Skills, Time Management, Problem solving tactics, Relationship Management, Networking skills, Changed perspective towards business management (industry/market focused)…… (These would look like jargons, but trust me – BMS has given it all)
How is life after BMS? What changes do you see in yourself?
Life after BMS has been a road trip towards Success!!! BMS taught me all those things I just mentioned above and many more which changed the way I looked outside in the corporate world. No other course could offer this level of exposure.
Who in your life has influenced you the most?
Self motivation/influence to achieve more and more has been the only kick factor in my life.
Has BMS course really helped you in the corporate world or in MBA?
Yes, indeed. I did my PG from XLRI-Accenture HR Academy which gave me a platform to work fulltime in the HR domain alongside do a 2 years course with a Certification in Human Capital Management by XLRI. – Having 15 modules of Management topics, there was not a module where I could not relate to what I studied in BMS. Certainly, helped me gain a better CQPI score in my degree. Alongside, prior experience in project making, team management, time management, case study work, etc just added on. From a Corporate Standpoint, My profile with Accenture including doing Pan India Recruitment in the KPO/LPO/BPO/RPO/HRO space. – Every skill set we hired for was extremely easy for me to understand and relate to having the concepts and basics of Management known. The same helped me recruit the best person in the system. Competency & Behavioral based interviewing became much easier for me to conduct. Keeping the above giving example aside, BMS course has been a helping hand in every form of life till date from personal to professional front.
As BMS alumni, what changes would you like to bring in management education?
When the Education Industry claims BMS to be a replica of MBA courses at PG level, the teaching model needs modification. More Projects, Case lets and Case studies, Journals and Papers, Thesis, etc should come in place. If the faculty is taking care of the same, a strict and meaningful evaluation and feedback is of utmost importance on the same.
What is the ideal career option after BMS? Why?
A BMS passout can consider him/herself as an MBA. It’s the way you take the course teachings. Career options are open based on interest levels of individuals. I see many BMS folks in the Marketing (Sales) or Finance (International Back Office role). There is a lot more to explore and work on. Industry is looking for smart and creative people with a surge to excel in their life. Options are many – Various sub functions in HR and Marketing, Analytic role in the Finance Space, PR, Advertising, Supply Chain and many more verticals.
Do you think internship/work experience is a must before pursuing MBA?
Internships have a different value compared to full time work experience. I personally do not see any importance of work experience before one goes for a MBA program. Except that the Institute one wants to pursue the MBA programme demands for the same.
What message would you like to give to the current BMS batches?
I guess, the message is already spoken!!! BMS folks are smarter than the smartest!! – Make the most of it and Good Luck for the life ahead.
How is BMS.co.in? What help should it provide in future?
I See BMS.co.in providing a platform solution for all Management Studies at the graduation level including the BBA folks across Pan India. The content needs to add on and provide more and more information. I see a great opportunity for BMS.co.in to link up with Corporate and provide Internship/Placement Opportunities for BMS students.
