Samir Thakkar: November 2014

Dear MBA and PGDM student,
I sincerely apologize for not uploading the ppts on time and as per their sections. I have been busy doing other things which are not allowing me to do this task. Hence, I am uploading all the power points, without the audio lectures.

With this I sign off. I am glad to have good students like you with me. Thank you all.

It is time for you all to get some tips and hints about your final exam. Here are some suggestions.

First of all, read the question properly. Try to understand what is asked in the question. Many times students commit mistake in understanding question, and hence give wrong answer.
You will have good amount of time to write your answer. 180 minutes for 70 marks, that makes 2.57 minutes (approximate) for 1 mark. As per this, for every 7 marks question you get 18 minutes (for PGDM, for a 10 marks question you get 25 min, and 38 min for a 15 marks question). So, you should be able to justify and attempt all the questions. No excuses.
Use bullets and combination of black/blue pen and pencil to make your answer more attractive.
Highlight important points in your answer.
Draw diagrams and figures to explain your points.
While preparing answers, keep the question in mind as well. So that you don't mix two answers.
Use small and correct sentences. This is important for those students whose English is not very good.
Pray! May God help you in achieving your dreams!
