Better late than never, I realised that I was missing out on a lot more, not just academics or activities, but on life itself. Here at IIM Udaipur, help is provided to the ones who seek it. Thus, I approached my peers for help and took advantage of the diversity of the Institute. I took some extra efforts to cope with academics, and the ones who helped me were probably the best in their game. I started interacting more, and I suddenly realised that MBA is not about the curriculum, it is all about networking.
In most MBA colleges, an internship is made mandatory as part of the curriculum, so that all students are exposed to the industry trends and have a hands-on experience with the concepts studied during the course. In the MBA program, often, prior work experience remains nothing more than just a sentence on the resume; nothing else, as only a handful students, have course-related experience. A few institutes like IIM Udaipur also let students take up the SEP (Summer Entrepreneurship Program) to test the feasibility of their ideas. This program also provides a stipend to the students.
Thus, in my view, prior work experience is not an important part of an MBA Program. All you need is a diverse resource pool, good mentors and a bit of hard work to help Build U Together.
