Though rigorous (read back-breaking) class schedules, assignments and intermittent exams keep us on our toes all the time, we always find time to celebrate the bond we share, during various festivals and the college functions. Supportive friends, competitive colleagues, helpful seniors and resourceful mentors around are truly the factors who have helped me to come out as the well-rounded individual I had aimed to be.

My first day in college was spent entirely on only introducing myself. I found out that I was the only commerce graduate in my class. Well, the thought that I had then and the experience that I have now is totally different. Words are limited, so the readers are supposed to draw out the tacit meaning behind. Great Lakes, as an institution has provided me a platform to learn, gain and grow. Overall, the “Great Lakes” experience has been literally “great”, and I wish to cherish this throughout.

Being energy students is not just learning concepts and applying them but simultaneously being well adhered to the fluctuations in the industry and changes in public policy. And this is where we have an extra edge over others. Guest lectures and experienced faculty from the industry gives us a clear picture about the methods to align our thought process in the right way. Personality development is given the outmost important as one’s knowledge becomes fruitful only if you know to communicate and present yourself well.

The thing about MBA is that you can’t mug up things and vomit it on the paper, its common sense which by the way we all lack. So if you are looking forward to just a degree in energy management don’t bother wasting your money but in case you want to learn something, get an edge over others and make a career in energy industry - welcome to Great Lakes!

Great Lakes is a place where I find a unique blend of excellence and commitment. Great faculty, wonderful ambience to learn, and excellent facilities is how I describe Great Lakes. When I joined (though I had engineering degree and notable work experience), I was lacking a broad perspective to manage the operations and to understand the business. Great Lakes has helped me to look at the world from a completely different perspective and to be a competent individual and business ready manager.
