To Top At BIMTECH, Communicate Your Ideas And Justify Them," Says PGDM (RM) Topper Garima Gupta

Online, April 1, 2012 (Newswire.com) - To those who know her, one thing that comes to mind about Garima Gupta - apart from the fact that she has topped her batch at BIMTECH - is the word 'fiercely competitive'. The only difference is that she is constantly competing with herself, and not someone else.

"Unless you try to do something beyond what you have already mastered, you will never grow", Garima quotes Ronald E. Osborne. "Whether it was school, engineering, or BIMTECH, I always ensured that I beat my own performance. Be it sports, academics or extra-curricular, competing with myself and doing better each time, was my key to coming out with flying colours."

Garima is an out-and-out Delhi girl, with schooling from Father Agnel School, New Delhi, followed by a B.Tech in Computer Science from IILM, Greater Noida, and now, an MBA from BIMTECH. She chose BIMTECH because of its brand name; the fact that BIMTECH is in NCR made matters easier.

Her colleagues at BIMTECH describe her as focused and determined, as well as fun-loving; someone who doesn't neglect academics, while enjoying college life.

"The journey right to the top of my batch at BIMTECH has been terrific. Infact, the high CGPA cannot simply be attributed to studying hard. It was also because of an understanding of what the examiners expected me to know, and writing just that... and getting across my ideas and justifying them. That's what BIMTECH transforms us into - 'thinking' managers of the future. This requires a certain kind of confidence that develops in a relaxed learning environment like BIMTECH's."

Garima, who has landed a placement with Titan Industries Limited as a Retail Executive Trainee, believes that her top-of-the-class grades at BIMTECH did get her the big interviews, but inside the interview room, it was her knowledge and communication skills that counted more.

"The faculty members at BIMTECH are very knowledgeable and possess remarkable industry experience. Their guidance during our 'on job training', was priceless. But the most important quality that BIMTECH embeds in you is that easy confidence with which you communicate your ideas. My advice to my juniors at BIMTECH is to be completely honest with the recruiters. They are very experienced and a fake answer can pull down your entire interview."

Garima has specialized in retail management from BIMTECH - a course which very few B-schools in India offer.

"Skills acquired at BIMTECH, are bound to come handy in my contribution to my company. The future for me will depend very much on what is it that I'll excel in, during my training period. I'm confident that my BIMTECH-edge will set me apart from the rest of my colleagues."
