When you set your foot in a new college,your mind is more agitated at the thought of meeting new people than your academic worries.And lets not kid ourselves,these are the people we would share the next few years of our lives with,so they better be good.Here is a list of typical characters you're likely to come across if you are in an MBA College:
1-The Jargon Master-He is the one who blurts out "credit/debit" in your very first finance lecture,or "returns to scale" in marketing,inviting questioning looks from the whole class and taking pride in his sprint start.While his intentions may be noble,his timing is not,and soon the prof. shoots him down!
2-The Startup Guy-Oh,the guy who's doing an MBA just so it helps pitch in investors for his next facebook,or to build contacts and leverage the right ones.He doesnt care about the final placements,and has dreams that most of us had as a kid.May he succeed,so that you all get hired by him :D
3-The Teacher's pet.-Here's to our own Chatur.This person asks the same question 4579039 times in class just to make sure teacher remembers his/her name,and unnecessarily drags the class.He/She also cries at every .5 marks lost,and makes sure he gets an A in internal assessment.In exams,he's God!
4-The Clueless One-Be it a usual engineer turned MBA student,or an ex IAS aspirant looking for a backup option,there is an air of sophistication around them.They know a great deal about interesting stuff,and are actually able to carry on a convo beyond Marketing and Economics.
5-The committee Guy/Girl- Whether its running around for placements,or organizing cultural fests,this person has to be involved in literally EVERYTHING!!.But as long as he/she gets you access to the most happening things in the college,you're happy!!
So,which one are you? ;) ;)
