I document my first day and ongoing experiences at London Business School (LBS) starting in October 2000. I share personal reflections on the classes, environment, and my journey through the MBA program in London.
I compared London Business School and IIM Bangalore across faculty, placements, and campus life. While LBS leads in industry connections and location, IIMB offers superior physical infrastructure and a traditional student campus experience.
I practiced case interviews with the consulting club at London Business School and attended lectures on the US economy by Andrew Scott and Nick Craft. I also noted the school's newly renovated lecture theatres and unique presentation styles.
I explore the surprising results of the Business India business school rankings. I'm reaching out to LBS to get their take on these unexpected shifts in the management education landscape and ranking methodologies.
I explore how my identity is perceived by strangers in London and compare the high-pressure grading at IIM to the private, low-competition evaluation system I encountered at London Business School during my exchange program.
I analyzed Business Week’s 2000 B-school rankings, highlighting London Business School’s high non-US ranking while noting the surprising omission or poor performance of top Indian management institutes like IIM-A and IIM-B.
