“Mum Dad, Guess what? I’ve finally found a
suitable college where I want to complete my Executive MBA Programme”. This is the
statement I would dream about hearing from you guys after you’ve had a chance
to go through my detailed review of Tapmi Manipal Institute.
So, let’s get the ball rolling shall we?
Hola again peeps! Welcome to another new college series on our
IES blog. As the summer is fastapproaching, it is that time of the year where
admissions begin for a new academic year. It is now, that we start searching
and hunting for schools and colleges. This time of the year is when most of the
admission sessions begin and admission departments in most institutes are very
active and busy working with the admission procedure. If by any chance you are
also one among handful of bright young adults who is looking for an exciting
change in your life waiting to create memories, well no need to wait any longer.
Let me take you through a story of an IT employee’s life who wanted to hit the
books once again but situations surrounding him didn’t aid him to work on it
the way he wanted to.
So
this is a story about my cousin brother. He was a very studious and ambitious
student who successfully completed his Bachelor’s degree in Information
Technology from a very reputed college. He scored very well and also got placed
in a good MNC with a hefty package. He always wanted to achieve aMaster’s
degree from the day he began his University tenure as a Bachelor of IT
Engineering. At this point of time he was not able to afford a master’s degree
and so was forced to take up his campus placement and then continue his masters
at a later stage of his life. But little did he know life had other plans for
him. When the time came for him to study, guess what happened? his parents got
him engaged and his marriage was fixed. Amongst his marriage rituals his academic
plans got postponed. Then he came to a point in life where he knew in his gut
that it was now or never. But he couldn’t quit his job to study as he had
family obligations that he had to take care of. But, unsurprisingly, he didn’t
let that phase him, I guess he was always kind a stubborn in that sense. He
searched for ways to pursue the missed education somehow. That is when he came
across the Executive MBA Programme at TAPMI Manipal and actually considered it
as a viable option. Later he researched and realised that this was the only way
he could make his dream come true. So without any further delays he joined and
pursued his degree and as I’m writing this, he has graduated successfully with
a Master’s degree. Today, as he looks back at all the hurdles he has faced he came
to the realization that they were all stepping stones creating a pathway for
him to conquer his goal. The road he travelled did not matter, all that
mattered was the means through which he would reach his destination. The
difficulties that he faced are numerous. When you have the willpower to follow
your dreams nothing or no situation can really stop you from moving towards
it. Are you an ambitious person like my
cousin? Do you also want to study while you work? If you answered ‘Yes” to both
of them, then let’s learn about the college and this course.
