Efficient time management is a critical asset for success in competitive management entrance exams like CAT, IBSAT, XAT, and NMAT. It goes beyond mere hour allocation, encompassing strategic planning and execution throughout the preparation phase.
Time Management: A Cornerstone of Achievement Effective time management isn’t limited to exam duration; it permeates the entire preparation process. A well-structured timetable acts as a compass, aiding focus, minimizing distractions, and fostering organization.
Verbal Ability and Reading Comprehension (VA-RC): Succeeding in VA-RC necessitates cultivating a robust reading habit. Devote 40-45 minutes daily to diverse subjects. Regular practice enhances speed and comprehension. Identifying and categorizing question types enables the adoption of appropriate strategies. Mastering para-based questions requires strong reading and comprehension skills, often utilizing elimination techniques.
Data Interpretation and Logical Reasoning (DI-LR): This section assesses managerial aptitude, stress management, and decision-making skills. Accurate data interpretation is vital. Focus on precise analysis of presented data.
Quantitative Ability (QA): The QA section, perceived as math-intensive, need not be daunting. Approximately one-third of questions focus on fundamental topics like equations, ratios, percentages, profit and loss, averages, etc. Overcoming fear of complex subjects such as quadratic equations and permutations is pivotal.
Success Strategies:
Conceptual Grasp: Divide preparation into phases. Start by mastering concepts and their application. Progress to intensive practice with various question types.
Speed and Accuracy: Refine skills in the final phase. Identify weaknesses and improve speed and accuracy.
Embrace Mock Tests: Regular mock tests familiarize you with the exam environment and enhance question selection ability.
Effective Time Management in Exams: Prioritize questions during the actual exam through comprehensive mock test practice.

“Our efforts today will pave the path for a glorious tomorrow. We have created India, now all we need to do is to create Indians.”
On behalf of IBS, we congratulate all the Indians on this special occasion; Happy 77th Independence Day.
Celebrating India’s Journey & Freedom
As the sun rises on August 15th, India stands adorned in its vibrant tricolor, celebrating yet another year of freedom and progress. This Independence Day, we commemorate the struggles that led to our nation’s liberation and reflect on the milestones and the road ahead. India’s path to freedom was fraught with challenges, marked by the painful partition and the struggle for self-governance. Today, we stand united, reflecting on the sacrifices of luminaries like Mahatma Gandhi, Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose, Babasaheb Ambedkar, Veer Savarkar, Rani Laxmibai, Jhalkari Bai, Chennamma, Begum Hazrat Mahal, and countless others. We honor the courage and celebrate their bravery that birthed a united, independent India.
At IBS, Independence Day isn’t just a holiday; it’s a celebration of our unity, diversity, and shared goals. We celebrate this day to embrace its lessons and apply them to our journey toward excellence. The flag-hosting ceremony signifies our respect for the sacrifices made by our freedom fighters. The performances and parade embody discipline and symbolize harmony and synchrony as essential traits in academic and corporate life. At the same time, addressed by our respectable Dean, Director, and Student Club Coordinator, we recognize the significance of this day in shaping our values and principles to uphold our duties.
Empowering India: Victories, Challenges, and Tomorrow’s Promise
The resilience of the people, their unwavering determination, and the leadership of visionaries like Dr. Rajendra Prasad, Lal Bahadur Shastri, Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam, C. Rajagopalachari, Savitribai Phule, Pandita Ramabai, Sarojini Naidu and many more shaped the destiny of the nation. India’s journey since 1947 has been a tale of victory as India has made remarkable strides from agrarian self-sufficiency to becoming a global IT hub. Our 3-stage nuclear power programme, largest single-site solar power project, and space program’s successes have showcased India’s potential. These achievements demonstrate our nation’s ability to innovate, adapt, and compete globally.
The future holds immense promise. India is the world’s largest democracy, with more than 1.2 billion of population. The country is showing strong endurance to external shocks and sustained economic growth, integrating into the global economy, fueled by government capex, robust investment in infrastructure, private consumption, strong service exports, and lower global commodity prices. Our initiatives like “Make in India” and “Digital India” propel us towards becoming a manufacturing and technology hub. A focus on quality education and skill development is shaping a capable workforce. India’s unprecedented growth with a growing middle-class income, dynamic startup ecosystem, renewable energy (green hydrogen sector), social entrepreneurship, and digital transformation can reshape our landscape. But as we stand at the cusp of the future, new emerging challenges like environmental sustainability, income inequality, and technological disruption demand our attention. Our population, a valuable resource, also poses a challenge if not harnessed effectively.
Embracing Unity, Vision, and Progress
As MBA students, we draw parallels between India’s struggle for freedom and our academic journey. Just as our leaders envisioned an independent India, we visualize our roles as future business leaders, and much like India’s defense forces exemplify unity, our position in the business world demands cohesive teamwork and strategic thinking.
Our leader’s resilience, perseverance, and vision inspire us to tackle challenges head-on, innovate, and lead with integrity. We honor this day not just through ceremonies but by embodying the spirit of progress, unity, and responsibility. Guided by the wisdom of our history and drawn by the promising horizons ahead, we stride confidently into a future that promises a more brilliant and prosperous India. Let’s march forward, inspired by the past, fueled by the present, and driven by the promise of a stronger, bolder, and wiser India, a more prosperous future – for ourselves and for the nation.
“When I came here in 1999, all one could hear was the sound of the guns as guns were booming all around. Today I am only hearing clapping of hands.” — Shri Narendra Modi.
In the heart of the mighty Himalayas, where the winds carry whispers of valour and echoes of sacrifice, stands a tribute etched in gold within India’s history – the Kargil War. As we honor Kargil Vijay Diwas, our hearts swell with gratitude for the supreme sacrifice in the line of duty by the soldiers who fearlessly faced treacherous terrain, displaying bravery and strength. This day commemorates 24 years of triumph and reminds us of their selfless sacrifices in safeguarding our nation’s sovereignty. Let us journey back, pay homage, and cherish the indomitable spirit of these extraordinary souls etched forever in our hearts.
The Kargil War 1999 – Unfolding the Summer of Valor
The Kargil War took place between India and Pakistan in the summer of 1999, on the 8th of May, and lasted for more than 45 days in the Kargil district of Jammu and Kashmir. Following the Indo-Pakistan War of 1971, direct armed conflicts decreased, but tensions rose in the 1990s due to both nations’ separatist activities in Kashmir and nuclear tests in 1998. The Lahore Declaration aimed for peace in Kashmir, but Pakistani intruders crossed the LoC, seizing defenses in Kargil’s Drass and Batalik sectors. They planned to control NH 1A, sever the Kashmir-Ladakh link, and force India’s withdrawal from Siachen Glacier. Operation Vijay, with 200,000 Indian troops, was India’s response.
Operation Vijay: Heroic Saga of Kargil War
It was an operation launched to reclaim the occupied territories. This daring military campaign is hailed as one of the most challenging wars in history. Soldiers fought the arduous war at treacherous high altitudes exceeding 18,000 feet and witnessed intense air power, infantry operations, and artillery use. Over 500 Indian soldiers lost their lives. The Indian Air Force played a pivotal role in “Operation Vijay,” with vital airstrikes driving the enemy from critical locations. The deployment of controversial Bofors FH-77B howitzers, with unprecedented use of 2.50 lakh shells, rockets, and bombs, marked a significant turning point as they were used for the first time in the war. While the war itself became India’s first televised conflict, bringing the raw realities of battle into homes. Amidst the challenges, Israel’s assistance with Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) showcased the unity of nations in the pursuit of peace and victory. The Kargil War will forever be engraved in history, honoring those who fearlessly fought for the nation’s integrity and freedom.
Resolute Valor: Uniting in Gratitude
As the sun sets on this significant day, may we carry the essence of their hope, selflessness, and belief in our hearts, igniting the flame of patriotism. We honor the heroes who secured our tomorrow and must draw vital lessons from their sacrifices which should constantly remind us of the value of freedom and the price our protectors pay to preserve it.
Let us stand united, forever honoring their memory, and strive to build a nation that upholds the values they fought for. On this Kargil Vijay Diwas, we bow our heads in solemn gratitude, knowing that the spirit of these brave souls will forever live on in the heart of our nation.
In the heroism of our soldiers, we find a profound insight – that unity triumphs over all divisions. They set aside caste, religion, and ethnicity, as one force for the nation. Let us learn from their unwavering commitment and overcome these differences by embracing unity, for together, as one united nation; we can conquer any challenge that comes our way.

Do you know? How many students enrol for Masters in Business Administration (MBA) in India annually?
In 2021, the intake was around Four Lakh students across the nation, and as per various reports, the number is increasing every year.
In this scenario, where no. of graduates is increasing, companies are on a rampant mass layoffs, and global economic slowdowns are peeping in. Such situations compel us to worry about our future employment status after an MBA.
To add to our growing concerns’, a surveys shows that more than Sixty percent of MBA graduates remained unemployed due to a lack of competency and requisite skills to be employed in the competitive market.
In such a situation, the first thing that comes to your mind is, will you get your first job by the end of last semester of you MBA course?
And if you ask me, then my answer is Yes! With a strong conviction and firm belief in my abilities and education yes I will.
It all depends on your MBA journey the programme, the efforts and preparedness for being future ready. It becomes the deciding factor of your personal and professional growth.
Like other Business Schools, the ICFAI Business School’s admission process for the new session has ended, and you may be looking for your name in the final selection list of your dream B-School.
Admission is a part of your journey and plays a vital role in deciding your career. To get your dream job or get a chance to work for your dream organization, you need to be an extraordinary, adaptive learner and intelligent player.
Here, you may find these terms generic terms, but they encompass different elements that give you an edge over others.
ICFAI Business School always focuses on individual progress and productivity by facilitating an environment that indulges these elements.
Now, let’s discuss how you segregate yourself from the pool of management graduates.
Here, you get a gist of crucial activities you should consider before starting your MBA. It helps you develop unique skills and capabilities per contemporary market demands, which are as follows:
Prepare a plan-B.
It is the first and foremost thing, but most of us do not consider Plan B necessary. Always remember that before taking any step or decision, you should be ready with the following plan to execute in case you fail in your original one.
Ask For support.
Many-a-times, students try to find out solutions on their own. But the right approach is to ask for support or discuss with your parents, teachers, and seniors. Also, connect with the Alumni of different B-Schools, who will help you know the accurate and effective ways to deal with your queries and help you build a healthy network for your future.
Start reading business-related books, magazines, and newspapers.
The experts, professionals, and seniors highly recommend reading daily news and being aware of the market scenarios to understand the economy’s pulse. Because if you decide to be a part of a corporate and pursue a management course, then you should dedicate yourself to it
Before going to the actual classroom, you should know the fundamentals of the major domains such as Finance, Marketing, Human Resources, Operations, Analytics, etc. This pre-conceived knowledge helps you to understand the concepts well and keeps you attentive during the class.
Learn about your B-school.
You should know about your B-School holistically. You can get the relevant information through different sources such as the management website, online reviews, and alumni. Every business school has an adequate alumni base, and you should connect with them through social media to learn about the institute effectively.
Improve time management.
You will be a part of the management program and get employment at the management level, but what if you are less efficient in time management? A management student’s first and foremost priority is to utilize time and perform the right action at the right time.
Maintain Body Fitness.
The life of the Corporate is very demanding, and reports say that people ignore their health as they indulge in different activities simultaneously. Also, working conditions make them sit and work long on electronic gadgets. These routines adversely affect their health, and they may spend much of their income on treatment or medication.
Therefore, you should maintain a healthy body with physical exercises every day.
Do a short-term certification course.
In the admission process of any college, there is a gap of a few weeks between the final selection and reporting day. Therefore, in this phase, you can join two to three certification courses related to different domains. These courses will help you utilize time and enhance your Knowledge, Skills, and Ability.
Learn professional software.
As you know, technology is the future, and software handling will remain in demand for a long.
