Six weeks at XLRI

Six weeks have passed by and it feels to be just one week of sort. Thats the busy schedule which the Professors here have for you. Not a single day passes without an assignment, case study, or quizzes. Incidentally on the very first day GMPians evolved a live case study from their own batch; discussed it to the core and already have built into a professional case study for future MBAs to crack. To learn swimming you jump into the water first seems to be the moto at XLRI. Whereas in other B-schools grads study how to solve a case, GMPians rather evolved a new case itself. Eleven sessions and you have already completed around 400 pages of a text book. Seven such subjects make for a term and within three weeks from now we are going to have the end term exams. Seems too tiring but when the going gets tough the tough gets going. Though not tough I am enjoying the days out here.
A great adventure trip of three days that included an enterprising interaction with the first Indian lady Everester Bachendri Pal. Three days of fight with the rocks, caving, leadership & team building strategic games; water rafting; living in tents were the order of the day. One would really enjoy the trip to the maxim.
Then when the government was hanging on its Nuclear Deal, GMPians were visiting a Uranium Mine around 350 metres down the surface of the earth as part of the Industry interface as part of the programme. Six weeks has passed by and GMP has already started to make its reverberations in the Industry and among its peers.
