Slot system

There has been a change in the academic system at IIMA from our year. 3 terms have been converted into 6 slots to increase course flexibility. There has also been a change in the subjects handled in each slot/term.

1st slot - Enthu levels are high. Workload is relatively less. The pressure from the PGP office is limited. But students put fight and most work hard.

2nd slot - Tougher than 1st slot. But students start making CVs and getting a hang of things at A. If I am not wrong, endless hours spent on marketing assignments in groups. Slot ends with tnite. :)

3rd slot - Very tough. Summer ppts + CV making + Summer preps + Class assignments. In addition, marketing assignments and OM assignments. Life was real tough.

4th slot - Post summers slot. Chillest of all 6. Nothing much to do. Most subjects had no quizzes.

5th slot - A tough slot definitely. Enthu levels are low. Assignments are more in number. Sub groups within groups are formed to handle assignment load. Some groups start meeting less since it may be inefficient at times. A lot of fight compared to previous slots.

6th slot - Hell. You don't know what hit you. Everyday there is an assignment which is graded and assignments are there in almost all subjects and range from simple ones to extremely complex. Very high workload. However you are better equipped to handle it since you are used to case studies and know how much and what to prepare, if at all you decide to prepare!
