Brief description of the activity:
The Department of Business Administration, in collaboration with the Dean’s Office, invited Ms Seema Parakkat of Singapore Management University to address the first-year undergraduate students and share information about MBA programmes abroad. The event was attended by a vast number of students, eager to hear about the possibilities of foreign education, especially at Singapore Management University (SMU).
The event began with an address by the programme coordinator, Dr Tridib Sengupta, who officially welcomed the esteemed guest, Ms Seema Parakkat, and shared his insights on the importance of such outreach activities. Following the welcome speech, Ms Parakkat began her speech by addressing the common fears and misconceptions that Indian students have regarding studying abroad. After debunking them, she began explaining why an MBA at SMU is a lucrative option and how it can really advance one’s career.
Ms Parakkat mentioned the requirements for admission to the programme, which included recommendation letters, a good academic record, as well as a GRE/GMAT score. She highlighted the eight core modules of the programme and their subsequent employment opportunities. SMU graduates are recognised for their diverse work experiences across various sectors, including financial services, technology, manufacturing, consulting, media/advertising, and real estate.
Having explained the structure of the programme, she also spoke about the tuition and living costs in Singapore, as well as the numerous scholarships available there. Her session was brought to a close after answering a round of questions from the eager students. They presented their queries regarding the institution’s rankings, electives available, and graduation requirements. After Ms Parakkat’s session, Dean Sir, Mr Dilip Shah, took the dais to encourage and motivate the students regarding the opportunities at SMU. The programme concluded with Prof. Sengupta’s closing address and a vote of thanks.
Outcome of the activity:
This activity was highly beneficial for first-year undergraduate students, as it provided them with relevant exposure to post-graduation opportunities abroad. The students ensured that they took down the details of the university and reviewed their MBA brochure.
