Big Move: IIM Visakhapatnam student chooses FLAME University to Study MBA

April 20, 2020: Mayank Choraria, a former IIM Vishakhapatnam student made a big move to join Pune based FLAME University. He appeared for CAT exam, scored 95 percentile and made his way to IIM Vishakhapatnam. However, his goals were not aligned with the curriculum of the premier institute. He made a calculative decision to join Flame University. The University offered him 100 per cent scholarship. Reasons that made him quit IIM and join Flame were:

• The blending of Liberal Arts and Management courses at FLAME University leads to holistic development, which is absolutely essential for today’s managers
• Courses such as theatre teach you about gesture, expressions, and body language; visual arts courses can actually help one with branding
• Sports is compulsory in the first year; you get to choose 4 sports engagements, which contributes towards physical and emotional wellbeing
• Courses like psychology and sociology can help one gain deeper understanding of caste, religion, etc. and insights into the various facets of the business world
• FLAME University has a state-of-the-art campus nestled in the lap of nature; the learning environment helps one maintain a good work-social life balance

The university also offered Mayank all the recognition he deserved, for example, he was the appointed Coordinator of the Sponsorship Department for the annual college fest and is a core member of the Placement Committee. He always wants to push his limits and works overtime to achieve his goals. At present, Mayank is interning with two finance companies, since finance is his specialisation, HDFC Securities in Equity Research and Metta Capital Advisory, an investment bank.
