College Gate - SIP

College Gate – SIP

First year students were preparing resume for the Summer Internship Program of the curriculum. A four-months program between first year and second year designed to bridge the gap between the industry and college. This is more of a trailer of what is going to be the corporate world. We need to prepare resume, rather curriculum vitae. There will be number of companies tied up with college to provide internship. We can select the companies for giving interview according to our specialization. But for finance, none of the company is ready to provide the internship. Companies do not want to share their financial strength with interns. So did not get the intern in finance department.

College placement coordinator sent me to Birla Global Finance Company limited. Along with me three more students were there (Bharati, Shiladitya and Neha). Mr. Chetan was the Branch Manager. He took the interview. The company provided Mutual Funds, Insurance and Loans. We all did well with the interview. After interview the usual dialogue “we will inform you” was conveyed to us. Next day, placement team informed us we all four of us were through and we can do our internship with BGFCL. Probably, we were the first to get the internship. This made the class to feel J factor with us. But the other side was it was beginning of an excellent friendship in college days. Narendra Chopra’s birthday came. The other three were close to him and because of this did have blasting birthday at “Gullu’s Chats -Shesadripuram”. Gullus provide variety of chats like Bun Nippat masala, Puffs masala, etc. By this time we were part of many projects together and we did came up with a firm team to do all project. We (Nehan, Naren, Sheela, Shiladithya, Bharati and myself) were the noted-team among the faculty as well as students for our teamwork.

We never used to bunk the classes. We were the motivation factors for faculty that if no one is there our team definitely there. People thought that we never enjoyed college life because we were always in the college. But enjoyment depends on the your perception and it is very subjective and individualistic. After class we always used to go for “Churumuri Gadi” eat there and have juice in “Ganesh Juice Center”. We used to talk so much and enjoy. Some times we did speak about our projects and subjects. This kept us focused on MBA.

The Second semester final exams were approaching. We need to make a book review for soft skill class. I chose “Five Point Someone” from Chetan Bhagat. I did the review by giving slides names fusing with cricket terms like opening, slog overs, extra innings. Mrs. Jyothi was very impressed with my presentation. Class started spreading the book is really good. Now it has been history by being part of Bollywood biggest grossed up movie ‘3 Idiots’ screenplay.

We need to share our wild dreams with the class and face the class for questions. This was an exercise to build the confidence in students for public speaking. My turn came. There are 3 dreams in my life. Write a book in Kannada language and direct a film in Kannada. The final one was roaming around with the relatives and friends in Scorpio especially in Malenadu (western ghats).

Mrs. Jyothi -  which is your most desired destination.

Suraj: Kailasa Manasa Sarovara.

Mrs. Jyothi: why don’t you take your friends there.

Suraj:  it will be difficult to survive in extreme conditions. I don’t want to give trouble my friends, but if anyone volunteer’s to come then no issues.

Time passed. Second semester exam came. All were busy preparing for exam. Also, they were excited to enter into company for summer internship. We finished our exam. There was an inaugural function of summer internship program. Next day all has to report to companies.
