Hello this is Sandeep Kotla from Amrita School of Business (ASB).

Well, the purpose of this thread is to share our experiences from our school, we would like to update here
1) The daily dose of exposure we have here through the expert talks (what we call Colloquia here)
2) The culture we follow and the festivals we celebrate here.
3) The events we participate (outbound), (well we might or not win), but share the learning we derived from them.
4) The events we conduct and share our experiences of the interaction we have with students from various B-schools.
5) The multilingual/ cultural movies (and a little review on them) we screen here every Friday (what we call Colloquia Talkies)
ETC

the reason for this thread is that we expect students from other B-schools to know what happens here and share their views, experiences and stories in return.

Regards

Sandeep

We at Amrita School of Business often ranted about early morning prayer (the 5 minutes we dedicate before beginning classes or any event for that matter) and the ranting was so rampant that we finally converted them into a non mandatory 5mins. Until we realized how the corporate world is hugely impressed with this practice of our college.

last evening Mr Sunil Biyani, Director Future Group, was here and he went nostalgic witnessing a prayer of ours and recalled the first factory he opened...
he spared a 1 hour query, post dinner session in our college answering our questions relating strategies for store allocations and promotions.
The best among his replies was for the the question; what are your strategies for Walmart?
Ans. walmart should come with a strategy to face big bazaar in India,


and the day before Mr Shanmuga Ganesh VP Sales, Payoda Technologies, stressed on the prominence of prayer while addressing best practices of conducting business, Human Sigma, Terminator management...

this made me wonder why we often ignore the treasure within and leave in search of mines else where...

can you please let us know what is the purpose of this thread?

what is ASB?

@ Raghav, i edited the first post of this thread, hope you will find the answer there.

hi sandeep.

please have a look at these threads.

http://www.pagalguy.com/discussions/life-amrita-school-of-business-bangalore-25052147

please let me know if you can continue in one of these threads.

@ raghav the second one is from a different campus, we thought the stack of activities from ASB coimbatore together would be more meaningful, and the first one is a pure admissions concerned thread. this one is an update of daily activities from our school we are updating on every networking platform and so in pagal guy... this one is a methodical initiative and would be passed on to our juniors to cling to it, hence it is appropriate not to club with any other thread.

ohkk, no problems. :)

just let me know if i can move this thread into life at b-schools section or the related cat discussions section.

PS: also, should i change the title to add 'Coimbatore' in it?

last year cut off , which best combatour or benglr.

yes, do move it to life at B schools section, and yeh, it would be better if it says Coimbatore noe, pls do it. thank you for helping @raghav.

Exams time at ASB,
writing a cocktail of exams back to back.
sales and distribution with strategy management,
portfolio management with consumer behavior.
exams are the only time we see our faculty quite, otherwise it is so hard to imagine some of them in class yet not talking.
this reminds my SDM professor Mr Kulkarni's words-Once upon a time, at ASB there was no invigilator system,

@Mail2shiv, last time the CAT cut of for Coimbatore campus was 75 percentile, I guess it would've been little low for Bangalore campus.

ALUMNI BOOT-CAMP FOR PLACEMENTS AT AMRITA COIMBATORE:

ASB conducted a two days boot-camp for us, the current second year batch.

WHAT THEY DID FOR US~ THE ALUMNI

They flew, they drove and even went nocturnal to reach the campus,
There was left no topic uncovered in preparing us for the big days of our lives.
They read through every line of our resume and devoted every second of their stay, to us.
They took us back to their days, literally enacting every scene of their interview, brought to life every moment they faced.
