Diversity in Business Schools

As PGPX 3 start their last Term, the next batch to take their place at WIMWI (Well Known Institute of Management in Western India) is almost finalized. This year, emphasis has been on diversity. It is reported that the following unusual profiles (for MBA) have been shortlisted to join WIMWI.

One guy is from Hotel Management. He has worked as Chef earlier and is specially looking forward to a course by Prof N Venkiteswaran. He heard the expansion of M&A course as "Burgers & AC kitchens" and found it specifically relevant to his past experience. There is a surgeon in the batch too. He can't wait for Prof Mukherkee's classes as he wants to specialize in "Operations" Management. An Architect has also been selected who is specifically interested in the "Building Blocks" segment of PGPX. There's a former Miss India who vowed to serve humanity and act as an ambassador for peace while fighting against hunger in Africa. She is an aspiring actress now and is attracted by "Modeling" for Decisions course. One person has worked in the courier industry before and is now interested in "Delivering Customer Value". If time permits, he also wants to specialize in "Delivering Service Levels".

There's a Mechanical Engineer who was given a case question in the interview. Case was "a mad man in a mental hospital raped one of the nurses and ran away". He was asked to describe the case in mechanical engineering terms and he answered "Nut Screws and Bolts". Yes he is joining too.
