Deciding to go for an MBA is a big step in one’s career. The institute you
choose defines not only how you will spend the next two years, but also the
rest of your professional and personal life.
Why an MBA?
Well, my reasons for getting an MBA
were:
·
The people. The first and foremost reason The number one reason to get
an MBA is to meet some ambitious people. I really don’t know if there exists
any other environment where this is
possible and this is something I couldn’t pass up.
·
The learning. As a passionate learner, I completely understand the power
of knowledge but what if you are clueless about what you’re even supposed to
know? Business school, will provide you
with tremendous resources for learning new things.
· The Career opportunities. An MBA is a springboard to whatever you
want to do next in your career. I view it as a two-year experience that will
lead to endless opportunities regardless of what I decide to do next. Because
of this, it provides a level of security in a career.
The Institute
XISS is one of the oldest B-Schools that started preparing HR and IR professionals to address the problems pertaining to the people and the dimension of the industry. Established in 1955, XISS is a pioneering institute that trains young men and women in Rural Development, Personnel Management and Industrial Relations. It is an institute with a difference and its flagship two-year Post Graduate Diploma in Rural Management, is only a part of that difference.
Rural Management is one such specialization which gives you the chance to contribute towards uplifting and betterment of those sections of the society, where the light of development is yet to reach. It refers to the study of planning, organizing, directing and controlling rural areas, cooperatives, agribusiness and allied sectors.
The course prepares the students to meet the challenges posed by the rural sector and molds them into facilitators in the process of development. The curriculum of XISS is designed to make it contextual to develop rural through experimental learning and field exposure.
The Learning & Exposure
The unique aspect of XISS is the strong emphasis on creating leaders with conscience, competence and commitment for sustainable development and empowerment of the marginalized. The Institute provides the students with several opportunities to experience life in the villages of India first-hand. It reforms the students into agents of social change, who see their future not primarily as a career for self-enrichment, but as a way of contributing their part to the basic evolution that is taking place in India today.
The Institute’s culture revolves around learning through experiences, exposures, and realization of various situations. This is understood through the experiences of the students in their regular slum visits. It is a part of the Institute’s tradition to deepen their experiences. The most vital aspect of the PGDM- Rural Management course is the Rural Camps for its mode of interactions and outcome-based learning. Moreover, the numerous guest lectures by stalwarts on their areas further add to the students’ knowledge.
My suggestion would be to talk to people and do research, but ultimately you have to do what YOU think is right for YOURSELF. Just like I knew what I wanted and ultimately chose the right institute for my aspirations.
