Colleges in Pune

Shared by two of my Symbian friends.

"Initial days were synonymous with 10+ hours of screen time because you were added to multiple WhatsApp groups. There was a WhatsApp group for everything, state-wise groups, city-wise groups, sports groups- you name it, and there was a group for it. Everyone was excited to know more about their batchmates; late-night video calls were the only way to do it, so we made the most out of it.

Later, when the course commenced, a typical day began with morning lectures at 9:30 am with breaks of 10–15 minutes, which continued until 1 pm. The visiting faculty at SCMHRD is good at their subjects if you pay attention to them.

Then post-lunch, the lectures continue till 4 pm. After which, we continue with our committee work which forms the exciting part of the day. This is an arena where you learn the most and share with each other how the college is going so far.

You do not get to sleep much, but you’ll embrace the hustle."

"First of all let's get this straight that MBA life is hectic but difficult. Hectic because you are always loaded with assignments, PPTs, tests, exams and stuff. Not difficult because I think the difficulty part gets over as soon as you crack the entrance, clear the GDPI and take addmission. From there you can just go with the flow and after one semester you will have your own tricks, methods and ways of understanding the subject, clearing the exams and handle the faculty members, staff and your owe college mates. It is all about how you manage people and play your cards. Coming to the hectic part, YES. It is hectic. There are times when we would have classes from 8 am to 9 or 10 pm or 11 sometimes in the evening and then preparing for the tests, evaluations or exams the very next day. Same was the case with HRD guys. Amidst all this, you will have to manage your respective committees, sports groups, tournaments, arts, drama group, college band and  alot more. Preparing for fests, guest lectures and boy, if you are a part of the placement cell then clearly you'll have to plan your meal time also. During the fest season, you'll work for it and also you'll find yourself giving 6 7 evaluations per day which lasts for a month or so. Then once the placement season starts you will have to divide your focus and concentration between your job preparations and your daily routine at the Campus and clearly there is no running away. You cannot. But it is fun too, all the extra curricular that you do and take part in helps you create memories for life, makes you a better person and also helps taking your mind off studies and thus help you in chilling out !

Once a Symbian always a Symbian"
