I just finished my B.Tech in computer Science and engineering in June 2016,and immediately enrolled in an MBA course.Sounds cliche right?
Allow me to begin by stating that I ain't no engineer who did engineering because of family pressure,nor did I join an MBA college because I couldn't get a job after graduation.And trust me,I'm pretty good at core CSE stuff. ( Check out my LinkedIn Profile here).I had multiple job offers in hand,and its safe to say I made a calculated choice.
Today marks the end of the first semester,I'm a 25% MBA now.Sounds very different,going from B.Tech final year of MBA first year in a matter of few months,but it is what it is,and it has been one hell of a ride.
Joining IIT K for MBA,the first question is "what? They have an MBA?".That was exactly my question when I filled out the forms.As destiny had it,here I am,loving every bit of it.It is a very beautiful place,and a quite different life than the one I had in B.tech living in the NCR. The pace is quite slow,but hey you get subsidized coffee (courtesy CCD) and Pizza ,so cant complain.
So it has been exactly four months,from July 26 2016 to Nov 26,2016 and I've worked in at least 9 different groups,whipped up 20+ documents about topics I had no idea to begin with,had the time to do things I've always wanted to do,Enrolled in some value added courses on EDX,blogged more often,had a joyride in a glider,waited for a train for 18+hours when the actual journey was only about 3.5 hours,spent long afternoons just talking to people way different than you,all the while attending classes you thought you have nothing to learn in but surprise yourself! :P
A year back,if you would have told me I'd be doing all this,I would have laughed in your face till my stomach hurt.There are multiple ways to reach the same destination,so here I am,on my own Voyage.
So an MBA from an IIT? best of both worlds'I'd say.
Life is climb,but the view is great for me. :)

One of the characteristic difference which rightly pointed out can now really summed to "Learning is fun".
