MBAGuru in collaboration with Zakir Husain College (ZHC) has brought to this vibrating campus a series of stimulating sessions to educate students on skills they should develop to achieve success in future and achieve their goals.

The First session was conducted on 6th October, 2009 at ZHC by Mr. Nikhil Chawla, (NMIMS) a prominent faculty at MBAGuru. The objective of the session was to make students aware about the analytical skills required to excel in their future job and higher education entrance examinations and check their Management Quotient.

The MQ Session was an experience that both the faculty and students will remember for a long time. It was a great learning for students’ in terms of how to crack an Aptitude test, how to prepare and especially when they overcome the phobia of mathematics. The success of the session lied in the level of interaction during the session. The ease and comfort with which the students understood the objective of an Aptitude Test learned the approach to crack it and in the end able to answer those questions easily on which they stuck earlier speaks a lot about it. It was a pleasure for the faculty to interact with such a talented and career conscious bunch of students.

In continuation, MBAGuru presented its second session on “How to Crack Personal Interviews”, designed specifically for the college’s 3rd Yr. students. The session was conducted on 7 th October, 2009 at ZHC by Sharad Saxena (IITD, IIMA), a QA, DA and GD/PI faculty at MBAGuru. The session extended MBAGuru’s legacy of conducting grand and successful events at ZHC.

It was a pleasant surprise to find that all the students, who attended the first session, took out time from their busy schedule to attend the second session as well. This amply displays the seriousness that all ZHC students have towards their career. The session was able to achieve its objective of charging up the students about their career and making them ready to face real PIs.

The audience was also highly interactive and the session was laced with intelligent and interesting questions. As a result, the session became a dialogue and discussion rather than a lecture. The highlight of the session was the mock interviews that were conducted at the end of the session for all the students who attended the session. After the mock interviews, a few tips were also given on mastering telephonic interviews.

However, one cannot overemphasize the difference that mock interviews with MBAGuru’s PI experts (from IITs/IIMs) make to the student’s preparation. MBAGuru therefore decided to conduct free mock PIs for all interested ZHC students at their centers itself. Even as we speak, more and more serious and career conscious students from ZHC are coming to our centers to get a first hand experience of a real detailed interview along with the superb MBAGuru faculty.

Looking back, the success of the entire program goes to the unconditional support and motivation provided by the faculty and staff at ZHC who not only organized the sessions but also motivated their students to attend the same in the middle of their college break. We hope that the faculty, staff and students will continue to partner us in pursuit of career awareness for their students in future.
