MBA FMB @ SPJIMR

Recently took up this course at SP Jain Institute of Management, Mumbai in Family Managed Business (FMB). After a couple of years of working in the family business this course did seem like the right option. All the alumni I managed to spoke to also gave a big thumbs up to go for the course.

Now I am one contact old into this program and can say a few things about it.  

What could be gained?

Contacts: I always that that this would be the last thing I would ever require. That surely proved to be really wrong. The kind of people you meet here, the varied businesses you get to hear about and more importantly you get to meet same aged people doing your kind of work which is a rarity. I've hardly had a friend before joining with whom I could actually discuss work with both being able to relate to it. 

Faculty: So far so good. Few of them seem to be brilliant. Knowing them is a good long term asset and will defiantly have short term benefits like knowledge sharing and business consulting.  

Facilities are good. Have to be there once a week. Attend classes from morning 8 to evening 7 30. Accompanied by loads of semi sensible assignments for the rest of the three weeks back home. I have spent too less a time there to be commenting confidently on these details. Will update.
