This generation is a lot more assertive and confident - beyond over-confidence for the previous gen actually. So I don't blame you for not understanding the way this gen is wired - to make the best use of a fast growing economy and opportunities you do need certain inherent attributes which come with living in an environment where you haven't seen downturns, for example.<BR/><BR/>When 26 year olds are passionate about an institution or an organisation - it is easy to get offended, because they are not inhibited in their expression.<BR/><BR/>I think you will agree that Rashmi (or you) cannot refrain from comparing ISB to the IIMs once you are done criticising ISB - A Cat among the pigeons?Vivekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09082614685002728672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9605787.post-530607515140436072009-02-10T03:48:00.000+05:302009-02-10T03:48:00.000+05:30a little late to the party.. views from an IIM gra...a little late to the party.. views from an IIM grad who graduated 10 odd yrs ago.. yep, feel like a dinosaurus here<BR/><BR/>"On any given Sunday you're gonna win or you're gonna lose. The point is - can you win or lose like a man" Tony D'Amato in "Any Given Sunday"<BR/><BR/>(BTW, man is not in literal sense, so ladies, please dont flame me)<BR/><BR/>dudes and dudettes of ISB: congrats!! <BR/><BR/>and here is something to note. learnt it from 2 global economic crises, working across the world with alumni of schools ranked 1-14 (and seeing many of them fired before non-mbas). The ISB tag will land you your first job and that is it. then you are on your own.<BR/><BR/>witnessing the attitude shown to criticism (maybe unwarranted), i suggest you stick to the first job 'coz this attitude is not gonna take you anywhere far.<BR/><BR/>life begins at a b-school and where you began your life typically doesnt have any bearing on what you become or what you accomplish. a few of you will do great things, majority will be mediocre and few will be downright failures. the determinant of your success wont be which school you graduated from or your CGPA. it will be your attitude, will power and doing what others wont do.<BR/><BR/>within 3 years of passing out most of you would be doing entirely different things than you planned for. within 10 yrs, you might be applying less than 1% of what you learnt in this school. so cut the rah-rah of my school greater than yours.<BR/><BR/>do this experiment: copy and keep your comment somewhere and read it 5 yrs from now and again at 10 yrs from now. if you are not embarassed thoroughly, you are a sure shot loser.<BR/><BR/>the swagger of an MBA is something to be ashamed of in the current scenario. amazing that you are still fighting on who is better and claiming yourself as mature.<BR/><BR/>Rashmi: business as usual. applaud your focus and capability of driving debates. disappointed that the crowd misses on how you have leveraged it in furthering your cause :). this debate is a cheeky proof that ISB has to go a long way to be as mature as IIM A (or atleast a few of its alumni).

Consider urself lucky. <BR/><BR/>So well, Yes, A and B did not give me calls, and its not coz of a single Maths question or anything as Vivek mentioned. I've done well enough to clear all the subject cut offs of all your IIMs. But I had a 68% in class 12th, coz I had typhoid during my boards. And that makes IIM Ahmedabad thinks I do not have it in me to become a top manager. Do I care? No. Because way before the Cat result was out, the day I got my ISB result (That was 20th November, and CAT was 16th November, and with the scores I had computed, and assuming IIMA's last year criteria applying to this year too, I was sure of an A call), I had mentioned to a lot of people that I'm not considering IIMs. So its not that Grapes are sore. :-). Besides, with a CAT score higher than most people than IIMA anyway, I do think I'm qualified to say that CAT is an extremely stupid exam. <BR/><BR/>Besides, Einstein, How did u figure out that I don't have those calls? Did you calculate my calls using or data-analyzing brain or oh-so-awesome-cat-quant-clearing Maths skills? Or did you read it on public forums?? Are you implying that I've been Dishonest about my results in order to gain credibility? There's no such thing, for my very signature in Pagalguy openly claims this. And I have made this public knowledge as well. Don't forget that that's where you found this out from anyway. Nowhere on this thread have I mentioned that I got a call from IIMA and am rejecting it. And if I wanted false credibility, rest assured, you wouldn't have found out the truth anyway. <BR/><BR/><I>And pray how many current/past ISB grads have never,ever given a shot at CAT,hoping to enter IIM-A ? </I><BR/><BR/><I>Inspite of your little essay here,even you wrote CAT ! Why? because you felt like busting 1300 bucks ? If you felt so strongly (as in your post here) about ISB's overarching superiority,you wouldn't have even touched the IIMs with a 50-foot barge pole,buddy! I'm sorry,your write-up was quite fundoo and all but patently disingenuous all the same.</I><BR/><BR/>Are you Really in IIMA? I mean couldn't you figure out that a person would always look for options? A person taking CAT writes XAT too. That person might seriously believe that IIMA is better than XLRI, but he still takes XAT anyway right? CAT was before ISB result came out. So dear Pappu, try thinking of this as a DI caselet. Probably you'll figure out the reason then. :). Oh and as per the seemingly smart 'ISB grads never taking CAT' argument you've got there, I know a number of people from IIT who got into companies like Schlum, Shell, Lehmann, McKinsey etc from campus, and haven't taken CAT since, but now 3 years into the job, that they think of doing MBA, guess which institute of management do they NOT consider, and which school of business they definitely apply to? 4 marks for the right answer dude.. Try this out ;-). <BR/><BR/><BR/><I><BR/>Yes - the input system could be better,but inspite of it,IIM-A still churns out top-managers nevertheless.</I><BR/><BR/>How do u define a 'Top Manager' ?<BR/><BR/><I>On the other hand,I wonder if McKinsey would visit ISB if it weren't for Sugar-Daddy Rajat Gupta uncle.</I><BR/><BR/>Now this point you've got seriously wrong mate. Moreover you seem to have lost your cool and maturity as well, the loss of which you so patronizingly pointed out in others posts. <BR/><BR/>Okay, Lets say McKinsey visits ISB because of 'Sugar-Daddy' 'Gupta Uncle' (Wow, that is the idea of a 'Mature Discussion' of an 'IIMite'). What is the reason for BCG to come in? Or Booz allen hamilton? Or monitor group? or ATKearney? <BR/><BR/>Oh By the way, Oliver Wyman is the 8th ranked consulting firm according to Vault Rankings, and till a year back, it visited only ONE school in India. Do u know which one? ISB. It mentioned in its PPT there, that 'IIM's have been putting a lot of pressure on us to visit their campuses'. THey ultimately succumbed, and visited IIM Bangalore too ultimately. Guess which Stupendous, top manager churning IIM they still don't visit? :-).. Again a 4 marker dude, I'm sure u'll crack it. <BR/><BR/><BR/><I><BR/>Bottomline - show me 10 people who chose ISB over IIM-A and we can stop this BS.On the other hand I *personally* know 2 dozen people who did the exact opposite - inspite of the "crumbling" infrastructure,the lousy profs(!), and the oh-so unidimensional peers.</I><BR/><BR/>Are you sure about the numbers? And I know people who've done the opposite, though not 10. And I really don't think 2 DOZEN have done what you said, but then you seem to have a serious flaw in your thinking anyway. I know the case of Rajat, the army guy, Who I totally respect. But if you ever read his blog, you would get to know the reasons for his decision and they were not JUST coz A was better or nething like that. Infact, ISB refunded half his fee when he took that decision. Would IIMA ever refund fee to a dropout who's going to another school?<BR/><BR/><I><BR/>The responses remind me of the $hit-storm that was raised after the IIPM episode.And sadly here too,except for a couple of mature rebuttals,most responses reflect extremely poorly on ISB's students & alums.<BR/><BR/>for all of ISB's tom-tommed diversity,there's little diversity in the level of immaturity here.<BR/>And oh ! perhaps greater workex doesn't imply greater maturity after all...</I><BR/><BR/>My o My, you consider your post an epitome of maturity? I think apart from a couple of fellows, the rebuttals were quite mature here. including mine. This one isn't. But then this is what you asked for and deserved. ;-). I think the very Post all these replies are too, reflects poorly on IIMA and its alums. And just when I thought it couldn't be any worse, your post has helped it achieve a previously undiscovered rock bottom.<BR/><BR/><I>I must admit,I did have a decent opinion of ISB - but I'll have to alter that;</I><BR/><BR/>Thank goodness they do not have "Pappu's Opinion" as a criterion in FT rankings.

I would have been proud to go to the IIMs or ISB or any good BSchool - and you taking potshots at the ISB students and alums is reflective of the sad attitude that a few people have towards their own country and their own top institutes.

Not much has changed, especially her ridicule of anything outside IIT/IIM bracket!!!<BR/><BR/>Anyways, it's her blog and she can write whatever she wants. But, I found Vivek's and Nitin's posts interesting to read. Guys, chill it! The world knows ISB cannot be compared with IIM and even if it is, the former scores a few points above even IIM-A. We can't explain this to the likes of Rashmi, for their blind love of their alma mater!<BR/><BR/>I know great guys, appreciated generally as good managers, who couldn't clear CAT, but got selected by ISB among many other applicants. ISB process is much better and transparent than the CAT-GD-PI opaque drama, latter mainly focusing on improving the coffers of IIMs rather than the actual selection process. As someone has already mentioned, IIMs are carrying a huge baggage of socialist India while ISB is a brainchild of modern liberal India. <BR/>First of all, it's stupid to compare the both, second, even more stupid to declare ISB less worthy than IIM, third much more stupid to compare slumdog drama with ISB!!Venkat Ramananhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15279468362629553359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9605787.post-87532651553546839592009-02-03T23:27:00.000+05:302009-02-03T23:27:00.000+05:30My take is that this is a business school comparis...My take is that this is a business school comparison - so you need to factr in stuff like short term ROI and long term expectations and ROI.<BR/><BR/>For some people it is not right to be a graduate from a top notch B-School and direct comments against a blogger - and where I stand today I don't see any reason why I should not unveil her realities and expose her as an immensely biased-for-IIMA alumna.<BR/><BR/>Regarding US BSchools being above ISB - it is rather disturbing to see that some people are not willing to face the contemporary realities - and are extremely biased in their "perception" of a foreign BSchool. <BR/><BR/>"The question however is, if you were anywhere in the world and aspiring for an international MBA would you place ISB higher than Northwestern Kellogg (#21), Duke University: Fuqua (#22) or UCLA Anderson (# 29)? "<BR/><BR/>The question I have is - would an Indian middle class girl[/guy] take a loan for 120k to 180k USD and not make money for 2 years to gain an american education or loan 15-18 lacs [ 30-40 k USD ] and go to a comparable peer group where you graduate in a year.<BR/><BR/>For a lot of us a job at the end of an MBA is not worth a compromise - and the kind of social stature and financial stature that ISB gives you in India is above what a lot of similarly ranked BSchools give you in the US.<BR/><BR/>Why do I not hear people questioning the rating of IE above the ISB - or CEIBS above ISB ? They seem to have made it solely on their placements and salary increments.<BR/>Is no one proud of how ISB has the highest average GMAT scoreVivekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09082614685002728672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9605787.post-271557874860355212009-02-03T19:18:00.000+05:302009-02-03T19:18:00.000+05:30allright guys ( specially ISBians), i am an ISBIan...allright guys ( specially ISBians), <BR/><BR/>i am an ISBIan myself. and i love it. loved it and will love it. but one thing i will never be proud of. and you know what, i guess people graduating out of there who have commented on blog to the extend of being anti blogger. if you say you have graduated from ISB or about to, well... <BR/><BR/>honestly, why do you need to be defensive and be critical if yout hink ISB is great? i think it is great. i really do. i loved my year there. but i think blogger has lots of valid points. so stop behaving like kids. grow up or at least do not say you are an ISBian.P Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18435239558630825338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9605787.post-73223488344606055062009-02-02T18:38:00.000+05:302009-02-02T18:38:00.000+05:30I am digressing here but since you did bring up th...I am digressing here but since you did bring up the issue, I will go on to the hype around Oscars. Let us stop crying about the slums that have been showcased in the movie. Every time my aircraft lands at the Mumbai airport, I see this stretch of slums, and to me it is a reality. Why, then, are we scared of showing it to the whole world? Why do we always want pretend that we are a perfect nation? <BR/>Plus, the subject was their all along, why didn’t an Indian director make the movie. Let us all get our act together and perform first, at our best. It is my sincere belief results will follow… It will be good if we remember the message from Krishna in Bhagwad Gita.<BR/><BR/>“Thou hast power only to act not over the result thereof. Act thou therefore without prospect of the result and without succcumbing to inaction <BR/><BR/>The translation follows thus<BR/>“<BR/>Karmani ave adhikars te<BR/>--you have the power to act only<BR/>ma phalesu kadachana<BR/>--you do not have the power to influence the result<BR/>ma karmaphal hetur bhoo<BR/>--therefore you must act without the anticipation of the result<BR/>ma sangostu akramani<BR/>--without succumbing to inaction<BR/>“<BR/><BR/>Agreed our films will always enter the “foreign film” category, but we need to produce the content that is worth winning. Let us get that award first in the foreign category, and then cry that we are not being given the opportunity of being nominated in the main category. No one in India needs to be told by the Oscar jury that AR Rehman is a great musician. We know it! Whether he gets the award or not, he will still rule the hearts, and not just in India. Something similar to #15 ISB,in Global MBA ranking, if you understand what I am saying.Nalinihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14091126739099618064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9605787.post-69277926528305254522009-02-02T18:31:00.000+05:302009-02-02T18:31:00.000+05:30This is a shocking post with a very strong anti IS...This is a shocking post with a very strong anti ISB tone, and for a journalist it is shameful to put such biased views forward. And that one sentence, “I have the highest regard…” doesn’t help your case.<BR/><BR/>I am sure all Indians, including those who are proud to have ISB as their alma mater, are proud of IIMs. No one is saying IIMs are bad. If IIM cares so much about the ranking why not get into the race and prove it not just Indians but to the whole world. WHY should it not be compared with the best in the world, when from intake of students to placements, ISB is at par with them?<BR/><BR/>I failed to understand what you meant when you said that faculty at ISB is only 82% Indian. Are you trying to imply that Indians are not worth the job, or do these Indians lack global exposure, or does being Indian reduce their competency? I feel you will find it hard to find facts to prove your stand. <BR/><BR/>And may I dare ask what is wrong if 96% of the student community is Indian? How many students in IIT's or for that matter IIM's are of 'foreign origin'. Good thing is at least you acknowledged ISB might make that demographic shift. Though I fail to see why it is so important. I guess my impression that ISB, IS an Indian school, and SHOULD mainly cater to Indian students, is wrong. Diversity in a class can be brought even by a single person, as has been proved on your blog, where everyone but u seems to have a favorable opinion of ISB bagging the #15 spot! It is just about the selection of the right candidate, isn't it? <BR/><BR/>You seem to think we should go the way US universities are going, not just for MBA, but for MS/PhD too, with major talent pool from outside of their country. I was stunned and my respect for American populace decreased tremendously, when I saw every single college and department having majority of foreigners as students and faculty. I DO NOT wish for the institutions of my country to reach 'global' just for the heck of it, when we have deserving candidates in our own country. <BR/><BR/>As for the number of applicants, I guess you were trying to crack a joke! It is preposterous to compare the numbers. I can challenge you to take a survey of all MBA aspirants and see how many won't apply to ISB, even though it is in its infancy! And yes, I would prefer to join ISB over UCLA, for the simple reason that it provides me with better value for money. Compare the cost of education and the salaries offered and you should, hopefully, understand what I mean.Nalinihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14091126739099618064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9605787.post-60403586291565602562009-02-02T10:28:00.000+05:302009-02-02T10:28:00.000+05:30I agree I took it personal - but the credibility o...I agree I took it personal - but the credibility of the author needs to be brought out. I mean the author actually made fun of WORLD AIDS DAY and DALITS on 2 seperate occassions.<BR/><BR/>About STUPID - come on guys. Nitin,aren't you a bit carried away by Jitendra's post? Rashmi writes a post on ISB NOT deserving what IT DOES - and I can't call her POST STUPID? This ain't some business case or political speech - this started out as mudslinging - on her part. And I will defend ISB - coz I believe in it.Vivekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09082614685002728672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9605787.post-42634282202824595752009-02-02T10:13:00.000+05:302009-02-02T10:13:00.000+05:30http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=pol...http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=politically%20correct<BR/><BR/>Good morning guys!Vivekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09082614685002728672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9605787.post-21927467493533339972009-02-02T02:04:00.000+05:302009-02-02T02:04:00.000+05:30I think this discussion has gone to a very negativ...I think this discussion has gone to a very negative and personal level, Something which has disappointed me. <BR/><BR/>I personally feel that while we may dispute the points made in the blog, we should still not indulge in personal mudslinging, or in a derisive language regards to the person or even her points. There's a politically correct way to say things, for example, calling a point 'stupid' might be derisive, calling it 'flawed' would essentially still mean the point is wrong but would not sound degrading or insulting. <BR/><BR/>I think we as (future)/Management grads need to learn to be politically correct while offering our differing views on a topic. <BR/><BR/>I made a long post earlier and everyone is free to read it, I have not indulged in any personal mudslinging or berating the points made by the author, but still I believe i've made my points very clearly.<BR/><BR/>Pertaining to the topic, Well I was actually amused the whole weekend about the analogy to Slumdog Millionaire. And I'd still want to say, That maybe Slumdog got mixed reactions in India, and some Desi movie like 'Singh is King' set new Box office records, was more popular and had a bigger brand name in the general public, It does not necessarily mean that Singh is King is a 'better' movie than Slumdog Millionaire. :-). Right Rashmi Ma'am? We all know what is the analog to Singh is King here, Don't we.Nitinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06891242201770546685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9605787.post-62572444588306301922009-02-01T20:19:00.000+05:302009-02-01T20:19:00.000+05:30Hah - So easy to take potshots at any institution ...Hah - So easy to take potshots at any institution in India.<BR/><BR/>Some author which makes STUPID and RIDICULOUS statements like she has is defended - and I call her bluff on her STUPID post makes you judge ISB's student body?<BR/><BR/>And well your comment on ISB's student body or on me is laughable - this is not a diplomatic discussion dude. This post is read by thousands - and they deserve to know the reality. I really do believe I have the right to call a STUPID POST a STUPID POST - If you don't think 300 admits out of 250000 is a STUPID STATEMENT - your choice. I do. Because by that logic IIMK is better than IIMA - they get 250000 applications for lesser seats .. ?Vivekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09082614685002728672noreply@blogger.com
