Tips to make MBA easier
1. Planner is
your best friend.
Be prepared for
herculean amount of assignments that you will be getting almost every day. In
order to save yourself from losing points over late submission of work, make
notes of subject, title, and description, submission date of every assignment
in your planner.
2. Make notes
No matter what happens,
keep notes of every class ready with you. If you are on leave, ask someone to make
them for you or copy them. In case you are not comfortable with using separate
notebooks for every subject or a 5 in one notebook doesn’t seem your type, use
different colored pens for every subject. It will make it easy to differentiate
subjects during exams.
3. Participate
in class
Try to answer
questions or ask sensible questions at least once in every class. Nobody will
tell you this, but there is a percent of grades kept aside for those who
participate in class. Also, the population who enrolls in a degree of
management in India is still pretty
high with 9379 MBA students from Gujarat itself in the year 2014. Thus even
with a slight downfall you can expect your class to be full too. The need to
participate becomes even more important in big classes.
4. Don’t wake
till late
It’s understandable
that assignments, exams etc. keeps you awake at night. But, try to not make
this a habit because there is a good chance that the performance might get
affected both in assignments and during exams. However, revise every notes
discussed in class to stop it from piling on during exams.
5. Have good
inter personal relation with everyone
Maintain good terms
with everybody in your class, as regular MBA program is known to give out
multiple group assignments, which will need working with people whom you don’t
know so well but are important to make it success. There are a few points for group
work too in every assignment.
These tips are pretty easy to
follow once you get into the habit. They will only make your life a little
easier in the crucial time; giving you time to spend with family and other
loved ones. The ultimate secret of sailing through MBA is strict schedule and
hard work. So, Do that and you’ll be good!
