Superstitious Me.

I had this subconscious feeling that saturdays and the number three are lucky for me and well this has to do something with my superstitious character. Anyways the news of my final selection for PGDBM course of IFMR came as a sweet surprise as i wasn't expecting the results before two weeks. It shows that why South India has developed at a rate faster than North India. These guys really understand the value of time and therefore qualifies as the better professionals. As a matter of fact, If IIMs can delay the results by a weeks time then we can very well forget about the rest of the pack. Institutes like IIFT announced the written scores 3 months after holding the test. Symbiosis didn't have a photo identity of the thousands of applicants who took their aptitude test this year and FMS which takes only the written scores into consideration, took more than 3 weeks to filter out the top 700 out of the possible 20000.

Here we can see that how marketing and branding can do wonders to even the reputation of an educational institute. Where the insitutes like IIPM, AMITY and RAI are riding high on the waves of advertising campaigns these better South Indian B-Schools are just hanging around the horizon. Will write about IFMR campus at sometime later.

Coming back to the numerology, this was my third interview and after failing miserably at the first and second time this was indeed a case of being "third time lucky" and though the results were out on friday i got to hear it on saturday. IFMR, here I come.
