Soon after we completed our admission procedures, we were asked to fill up a Google form on the facebook page. A couple of days later, we received an email from the SIMSREE induction committee welcoming us and then providing us the information about when the college will begin. They also told us that out Pre-Induction assignments will begin on 20th July.
A whatsapp group of all the students who had taken admission to SIMSREE was formed. Yashodhan from the Media and Marketing committee was the admin of the group. He patiently resolved all our doubts. Silly or genuine, he replied to everyone.
On 20th July at 12:01am we received our 1st pre-induction assignment. We were given time until 11:59pm on 20th July. Initially I took it lightly, thinking the assignment was easily doable, and started late. I missed the deadline on the 1st assignment itself. This taught me my first lesson in MBA. Never take things lightly. Always first complete the work.
SIMSREE has a tradition of collecting fines from those who don’t come on time or those who do not submit their assignment or project on time. I realized that I had to pay the fine for the first assignment. So henceforth, I submitted all my assignments on time. The assignments we a mix of all the important and basic concepts that we ought to know before we enter a B-school. There were some difficult concepts which helped us improve our knowledge.
We were also told that we had to be thorough with all the assignments as any of the question could be asked during the induction period. In the end we also had to submit presentations. All the assignments and presentations made me realize that MBA is not going to be all that easy.
