attributes necessary for management students: Always be open to
the market reality, always check whether your skill set is competitive or not
with reference to the current market trends, prepare yourselves for the next
step, keep learning-internally and externally, Have fun with friends.
2. How do
you balance your time? (work-life balance)
It is not at all possible to spend time with family and
friends once we get into the corporate world. So it is important to make sure
that at least one day a week, our time must be dedicated to our family. See
that personal relations are never affected.
3. What recommendations do you have for the
current generation regarding a job search strategy?
Keep watching for the trends in the market. If you have an
interest towards an industry, see that you know everything about it. Always
keep yourself updated.

Every subject is important while we study. Situations demand
us to apply concepts that we have studied. Concept application also depends on

Choosing a course is an independent decision. Go with
whatever interests you the most. In choosing marketing course, college helped
me the most in the elective subjects.

role. We had a lot of time in the afternoon, I used to play sports as the
university has many sports facilities. All of us friends used to hang out in
the canteen in the evenings where we used to discuss about our assignments.
Curriculum was more driven.
GITAM Institute of Management has Industry oriented curriculum which really
helped a lot for applying in the corporate world. GITAM University has a very
dynamic environment. Event management brought out the skills inside me. GITAM
Institute of Management gave me chance of practically experiencing all the
management functions.
