Daily life of MBA students can be quite tough. However, life at FORE (Foundation for Organisational Research and Education) School of Management, is an evolutionary process of a different kind! It offers something which can’t be experienced any other way. Ask any FOREian and they’d come up with all kinds of jargons and examples to describe it.
The process of learning and honing management skills at FORE is always full of energy and enthusiasm. Day in and day out you are going through presentations, case studies, classes, group discussions…… the list is endless! However, regardless of how intensive it all seems, there is not one student who doesn’t enjoy the entire process.
Furthermore, if you take a closer look, there is much more to FORE than what meets the eye - exciting events, committees, gruelling schedules, dhabas, functions….. You need to go through those two years of management education at FORE to truly get a grasp of what we are talking about here!
Let’s tell you about some of the ways in which FORE makes sure that your two years here don’t see a dull moment ever:
This council comprises of all the students of the FORE school of Management, including coordinators, vice president and president of various students’ committees. Driven entirely by the students, this council helps in enhancing the students’ thinking, leadership and managerial skills, through organisation of multiple events throughout the academic year. The aim is to give students hands-on experience in dealing with the corporates, creating plans, managing events, making critical decisions and planning and executing budgets.
The various committees that come under this student council are:
