Find out how Shefali secured admission in PGPM course at ICFAI Business School (IBS), Pune. Read more on Shiksha.

I gave MAT exam and got a good score, many colleges approached me but I wanted to take admission in a college where practical aspect of the subject was taught. I got to know about ICFAI Business School and then I searched details like teaching and placement of the college and found it to be impressive.

I and a friend of mine, cracked IBSAF exam for admission in this college. Then, we went to Hyderabad to give the Group Discussion (GD) and Personal Interview (PI) rounds. As luck would have it we both cracked it.

My college life: classes, extra-curricular activities and more

During my post-graduation, I was very nervous that how will I manage in the college. But, my faculty members helped me out in each and every step. There were more like friends to me. One of the most important thing that formed a part of my college life during my learning phase was case studies. Believe me, no book can provide you any education until and unless you apply the things taught in practical life. All management fundas we were taught, we applied in our case studies and this is a learning of a lifetime for me.

MAT is overall an easy exam, but if you compare the sections, usually the Quantitative Aptitude is considered tougher than rest of the four sections, due to calculation intensive questions.
