Masters in Business Administration is one of the greatest degrees a person can pick up, giving themselves a massive boost to their profile, and by extension, their career and their quality of life. Due to the nature of the program and the various types of people it attracts, it is only natural that there are variations of the degree and a difference in how fast you can graduate with a degree in MBA and a specialisation of your choosing. That being said, getting into the meat of the matter, it is important for us to understand the difference between 1-Year MBA course (or Executive MBA as we shall refer it from here) and the more traditional 2-Year MBA course.<\/p>
The Executive MBA course is for working professionals who have an experience of 7 to 10 years or higher in the industry and often cannot afford to attend classes like the students of traditional MBA course do. It is also for those who wish to rejoin the workforce without taking a bigger break. In short, this is the perfect course for working professionals who have enough experience to navigate their way around the tiny details of the industry and are getting their degree to further their career, an admirable prospect, to say the least. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1496142505427","data":"592d5b91be88c"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1496142507323","data":"
The traditional 2-Year MBA course offers students a chance to grow and get used to the industry work ethics and standards. You get to rub shoulders with the best and the brightest, network and grow as an individual and as a leader. It goes without saying that where you study will be the brand that will be associated with you, and the name of your college will open doors for you. So if you have to do an MBA, make sure you do your best to be picked by the best. <\/p>
So, you may be wondering at this point, what are the pros and cons of the two courses.<\/p>
Choosing Traditional MBA over Executive MBA, <\/b><\/p>
The Pros:<\/b><\/p>
The chance to grow is tremendous, the chance to network is even more so, the bonds you will make here will help you throughout the country, and sometimes even across the world. Networking is king, and the best way to use your MBA network is to build them over the course duration of the 2-Year MBA program<\/p>
The 2-Year Course also allows freshly graduated students, or professionals with less than 5 or 7 years of work experience to equip themselves better to navigate the fine details of the corporate world. It will train them for a leadership role, giving them industry exposure and, provided you study in one of the top colleges, open many doors for you. Which brings us to the cons<\/p>
The Cons: <\/b><\/p>
In today's fast-paced world, even professionals with 2 to 4 years of work experience cannot afford to lose time by giving away 2 years of precious experience. This is a gap that is perfectly filled by Executive MBA, which we will get to now. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1496143876503","data":"592d5b5a14c46"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1496143878122","data":"
Executive MBA over Traditional MBA<\/b><\/p>
It's fast, it's efficient, it gets the job done, and you have the advantage of attending classes while working, or taking weekend classes and finishing your coursework as soon as possible. This is the best thing a working professional with over 7 years of industry experience can opt for. For such people, they already have roots in the industry, all they need is a solid foundation upon which they can build their careers, which is why Executive MBAs are popular. <\/p>
The Cons:<\/b><\/p>
Executive MBAs are sometimes as expensive as a Traditional MBA course, but as a wise man once said, you get what you pay for. There's also little opportunity to build connections which will go on to pay dividends later due to the nature of the course and the amount of time you'll be spending, but if you're a working professional with a good chunk of experience, this should not be a problem to you at all. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1496144398192","data":"592d5b323f993"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1496144399803","data":"
Since most of our readers are students and young people with not many years of experience, the best option for a majority of our readers would be the 2-Year MBA course, just make sure you do it from a reputable college, the kind of doors the brand of your preferred college can open can soemtiems lead to extremely well paying and interesting jobs.

A few years ago Ranjan did not know what a startup meant. The young 21-year old man from Paharpur, Bihar, speaks about always having the drive to do something above and beyond what is expected of him. In the process, he did not achieve what was expected of him, but he excelled in his field and did so with style. <\/p>
Speaking with stuMagz in chaste Hindi that made us wish we could speak as well as him, Ranjan speaks about his journey so far, and the reasons behind the decisions he's taken in life, as well as the challenges faced.<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1496314447907","data":"592ff4d058e6d"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1496314451480","data":"
\"It is funny really, now that you think about it,\" smiles Ranjan, \"I dropped out of college because I felt that they were wasting my time, and I knew I wanted to do something special. And now, I've taken it upon myself to ensure children study well and complete their education.\" <\/p>
After experiencing the unfairness of admissions into a premier institution, Ranjan realised how unfair the system was, especially for someone like him who had the talent and the means, but no opportunity. He transformed this into an opportunity to teach kids from rural Bihar so they aren't as disadvantaged as other regular kids are from the same backgrounds.<\/p>
If there was ever a word to describe Ranjan, it would be 'self-taught'. He began teaching kids about programming and programming languages without ever having attended a single class himself, \"I've already had experience teaching kids back when I myself was in school, and I carried that here. I've taught myself the programming languages I know,\" he says, before elaborating \"the biggest challenge Bihar faces is negative perception. This has to change for Bihar to grow, and I will continue fighting against it.\"<\/p>
To combat Bihar's negative perception, Mistry also launched 'Startup City', where 17 startups working in various fields out of Bihar could collaborate, build a future together with a proper ecosystem.\" <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1496316370169","data":"592ffa2187989"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1496316377857","data":"

As a matter of fact this June 5, we're organising an event where participants will plant trees,\" June 5 is celebrated worldwide as the World Environment Day. <\/p>
Ranjan goes on to talk about the challenges faced by them when it comes to educating children in rural Bihar, \"It is extremely hard to come by good teachers, or teachers at all, for that matter. We are also almost always short on funding, and we are in requirement of new laptops so we can teach children. The nature of this area,\" he continues, speaking about areas hit with Naxalism, \"it is difficult for someone to accept a position here.\" <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1496316990974","data":"592ffcd3d2598"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1496317032521","data":"
When we asked Ranjan what his advice to students who want to break out and make their own path would be, he laughed and said, \"It's simple, if you think you are capable of providing a job and stable income to at least 5 to 6 people, and can make a positive impact on people's lives, then I think you are wasting your time in a job, and you should become an entrepreneur. It is a big responsibility, and nobody ever said it is easy, but don't forget that until last year I didn't even know that one has to register a company first. It's all the matter of what you are confident in what you can do, and of course, you can do it. So go ahead and make your own path, because if there is one thing India needs the most right now, is more entrepreneurs.\"<\/p>
We wish Ranjan all the best for his future endaevours. <\/p>"}]

There's a charm to building something on your own with parts you've either scavenged or bought in a shop. The entire process is sacred, like bringing home computer parts and assembling the entire thing yourself with care. It gives a person a renewed sense of purpose and ensures that whatever they've built is used for what the user intended. This is one of the cornerstones of being an Amateur Radio Enthusiast, the feeling of building something on your own and then communicating with people many kilometres away from you, all without relying on any other form of communication, the internet, sometimes even electricity. In fact, communicating with 'very low power' is something the community takes as a challenge. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1496300597669","data":"592fe9a20b93b"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1496300599570","data":"
However, not many people are into Ham radio, and that is understandable, considering the amount of red tape required for simply getting a license to operate one, and yes you do actually need a license. Paying for the license is the easy part, the difficult part is waiting for months on end just to get it. This, however, has not stopped or discouraged the Ham Radio clubs across various cities in India. This is one hobby that unites both the older generation and students of today, with a common interest in building and running a Ham Radio. <\/p>
Speaking with stuMagz, 16 -year old Ishan Dubey talks about his father's interest in Ham Radio which later piqued his own, \"My father has a license to operate a Ham Radio, and it was under his supervision that I used the radio for the first time. We do not have the equipment at our own place but my uncle has the entire kit,\" he says, \"A lot of people today use the Hamsphere app, which is easier and saves you the hassle of buying the equipment.\"<\/p>
However, the world of Ham radio goes much deeper than that. Ask a Ham radio enthusiast what their favourite part of their hobby is and chances are you'll get different answers from all of them, as we've observed. A conversation with Farhan Ashar, one of the founding members of Lamakaan and an avid Ham radio enthusiast, shed light on many aspects of the hobby. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1496310367805","data":"592fe9c5342a7"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1496310369989","data":"
\"It is a very technical hobby,\" says Farhan, upon being asked about the pursuit of Amateur Radios, \"There's an exam you need to take before you are eligible for a license, and even then it is not for everyone.\"<\/p>
The exam Farhan refers to requires knowledge of electronics, communication procedure and an understanding of the Morse Code, which is basically a series of dashes and dots that can send out a message without using any known language's script. <\/p>
\"This is a hobby for those who love building stuff, especially building electronics, from scratch. There's also an element of intrigue and mystery to it that only adds to the hobby, it feels like you're part of a secret club, something only you know and someone else doesn't\", smiles Farhan. <\/p>
He describes Hyderabad as an active city on the Ham circuit, with two major clubs, including one that meets at Lamakaan second Sunday, and the National Institute of Amateur Radio. <\/p>
The norms to get a license have now been significantly relaxed compared to earlier. A student from Vijayawada, who wished to remain unidenitified, spoke about how the town in Andhra has quite an active Ham radio circuit, with almost every engineering college being a part of the club, and one of the many games they play on Ham, \"There's this 24 hour game where we have to make the maximum number of contacts in the given time period, and often this leads to us not even moving from our positions at the radio,\" the student laughs, \"at the end of the time period we compare our numbers and the one with the maximum contacts win. It is incredibly fun!\"<\/p>
In the age of the internet, when communication between two people from opposite ends of the world is a matter of a few microseconds, and especially in a time where red tape is abhorred, students and adults alike are keeping the tradition of the Ham radio alive and well. It may be outdated tech, strictly speaking in today's terms, but it still is a reliable source of communication should all else fail. Some habits do die hard, and we are glad that they do. <\/p>"}]
Ever have one of those days in college when the day seems to drag by, the very air seems heavy and you mind is sluggish like a marble moving through honey? I used to have them pretty often. Used to. Not anymore. I have so much to look forward to and keep me moving when I'm part of the basketball team.<\/p>
Exploring sports is a very important part of college life that a lot of students don't give the importance it deserves. If not committing to being a full-time part of the college team, just participating in intra-college games and goofing around during free periods is enough to change the way you see college.<\/p>
Sports have been proven to increase the amount of endorphins your brain releases, making you happier and more content. Besides that, it has actual physical benefits that range from mental health to bodily health. Those who play sports are more likely to be complete human beings.<\/p>
More practically, it looks really good on your resume, to know that you've played sports at any level. It shows that you're willing to try things and make a good teammate and leader. So put some shoes on and go out. You might just surprise yourself by being good at it!<\/p>"}]
There's something special about long distance endurance sport; it takes a special kind of person willing for committing their body to the limits of endurance. People who dare to dream, go that extra mile and reach out to grab what should always be rightfully theirs.

He is very particular about taking precautions before going on a long distance ride, \"Hydration is extremely important, especially with our weather,\" he says, referring to Hyderabad and it's surrounding area's unforgiving Sun, \"even on rides it is always a good idea to travel in groups as you always have help around when you need it.\"<\/p>
Sanath and the group he travels with, plan their trips days in advance to avoid any untoward incidents, \"We preselect checkpoints where we can stop and rest up a bit, get fresh cold water and then continue our journey. Sometimes we also take pictures at these spots,\" he explains, \"We've also started to let our family know where we are periodical, it's not a good idea to disappear off the map without your family knowing where you are.\"<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1496148344055","data":"592d69d55bbf7"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1496148372882","data":"
\"A lot of newcomers make the mistake of having a heavy breakfast before they start the day,\" says Sanath, asking about the kind of nutrition and food a long distance cyclist must take, \"this often leads to drowsiness, even nausea. I only eat a plate of idly before we start our ride, it has all the nutritional values I need for the trip.\"<\/p>
Sanath and his fellow cyclists have certainly displayed their indomitable spirit by cycling even in the harsh weather conditions of the typical Indian summer. Talking about his last ride on April 29, he says, \"We had to stop frequently for refilling water. It simply is not enough to have 2 litres of water and hope it'll last the entire trip. We rode 140 kilometres, and it was incredible.\"<\/p>
Sanath, however, emphasises on staying safe on the rides, \"If you're in a big group, you will mostly be okay but if you're a solo rider, or in a small group, you can run into trouble with people. There are way too many people happy to ask questions and touch your cycle without consent, some even demand I give them a ride as if it's their right. I recommend new riders to refuse to give their cycles for a test run and be ready for self-defence, should the near arise.\"<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1496149009876","data":"592d6c88b1b76"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1496149062622","data":"
Sanath hopes to conquer the Manali to Leh route, which is one of the most difficult paths in the world. It is notoriously difficult even on motorcycles, but to do it on a bicycle is a whole different game, \"I've always dreamed of doing it, cycling from Manali to Leh. Hopefully, one day, I will go through with it, because the stories I've heard about this route, they are incredible, and I want to see it for myself.\"<\/p>
They say that once a person goes to Leh, they leave part of their soul behind, nestled in the mountains high above the sea level, a part of the soul that calls out to them to return and visit it once again. It is one of the most beautiful places on the planet, and to conquer it on a bicycle is a challenge that young students like Sanath Swaroop can achieve. We wish him all the best and hope to hear more about his adventure to Ladakh in the days to come! <\/p>"}]
There's no shortage of hearsay floating around in the lead up to joining college. We're here to bust those myths out the water \u2013 for better or for worse! As if surviving college isn't stressful enough, it's likely that you'll hear a whole plethora of misinformation and urban myths floating around that will sometimes make it totally impossible to separate fact from fiction. <\/p>
We've been there - we swallowed the tales whole and as a result either wasted time worrying about stuff that was completely fabricated, or panicked last minute once realising we'd been lulled into a false sense of security by fellow students.\n\nAnyway, it's time to put some of these myths about college to bed, so we can all get on with our lives. <\/p>"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1496217822046","data":"
