PGSEM 2006 commenced on 17th June, 2006 with a day-long inaugural session. The activities for the day comprised of inspiring speeches by the IIM Director and the PGSEM Chair Person, a Case Study (which we were provided beforehand), and interaction with senior PGSEM students, apart from other administratrivia. And yes, a nice lunch !
A few take-aways from the speeches :

• “Welcome to PGSEM, all the best, and my sympathies with your families who will see a lot less of you”
• “You will not have to manage your life while doing this course - you won’t have one !”
• HRs mention “work-life balance” to manage. This is to become “work-life-study” balance

We received the books for the courses for the Quarter - Strategy Management (SM), Financial Accounting (FinAc), Micro Economics (Not sure what the IIM Lingo for this is). A few cases to read for next week, some stuff to prepare..

The fun has begun !
