Read business cases not the ones they thought you in college
The ones in college are old and shit.

Read better cases online form an idea how each dept work in a company Networking is bullshit term You hardly require 20 around you. If you work hard and deliver you dont need stupid networks.

Invest 10k in a company and see their performance apply your finance subjects in real time

Enjoy dont stress MBA in Indian college is shit !

Network like crazy, not just on your campus but across campus'. Single best thing that'll come out of the 2 years = people you build bonds with.

Go and attend intercollegiate fests if they are still a thing. Participate in whatever floats your boat. Easy platform for in person networking.

Experiment. Most folks join with an outcome of the MBA in mind and after the first trimester realise that they like something else. So be open to experiences and mould your path accordingly.

eg. When I went in I thought I'd focus on getting into a large MNC FMCG, but realised quickly that FMCG sales is not for me. The focus then took a different path.
