VIII Semester

The I week I could manage Shirdi and Nashik trip just at the start of the semester without any loss of classes because of the week off given by WMP Chair (thanks very much!). It was indeed a great break but we in turn had to compensate with many-many sundays. The frustration grew till the end when we had no weekends for almost half the semester. As a friend said: "WMPians are having a 9 day week  :)" (thu/fri evening included)

Sem 8 was a seemingly pleasant as the 1-month holidays were nearby and our completion of the course was just not-too-far. I had chosen 3 credits for this sem:

  • IM (Investment Management)
  • PBM (product and brand management)
  • QMSS (Quality Management and Six Sigma)


IM was a wonderful subject that taught us the basics of the investment and portfolio management. Prof. Alok Dixit was a wonderful, down-to-earth teacher who had put in amazing effort to teach us stuff  maximum possible. This was a subject that required real hard work right from the start and one felt like putting in effort in it.

Prof. Anita Goyal took the PBM with great dedication - she even took the pains of bringing various packaging to the class to teach us various levels of packaging. For some the course was a repeat of various concepts of marketing but it was a light and interesting one for me.

Qmss looked to be a fiasco at the start when Prof Tapan Bagchi (reputed name in Quality management) couldn't come to deliver the course as promised. Instead the course was delivered half an half by Prof. Sushil Kumar and Prof. Omi Prakash Vaidya and guest lecture by Prof K Maduletty. The course was done justice by them especially the six sigma processes.
