During the first semester I keep a detailed account of everything I spent – literarily everything. At the end of each day I would record all spending for the day on a excel spreadsheet; I even organized the day-to-day expenditures into categories such as food, phone, travel, textbooks, durable items, recreation etc. This made me completely aware of what I was spending, and where.

All guys suited up, girls in their elegant dresses—get youself a partner, it’s time to party! When it comes to resting our minds before the exams, we are an ace at it. Last week was the pre-exams Barbecue. This week was our Grandé Ball 13'. Even this one forms part of our pre-exams culture. In Singapore also, we organized a similar party. However, this time, it happened in a 5-star hotel—Movenpick Hotel. Good food, dancing, chilling in some high class environment—the appropriate way of ending the weekend on this Saturday night. The party ended by rewarding the best dressed guy and girl, and also the best dressed couple—decision from one of the faculty members.

Letter Grades -- S P Jain uses a relative grading system, meaning that grades are assigned on a curve. The top 25% of students in each class receive an A. The middle 50% get a B. The bottom 25% get a C, D or F, with at least 5% getting a D or F. Professors evaluate students using a percentage system, and the Registrar's office converts the percents to letter grades, based on the curve described above. The system is designed to prevent grade inflation, and follows the practice of organizations like Harvard Business School. You should understand this system before you arrive, because competition is very fierce for the top grades. And just because you were one of the best students in your high school doesn't mean that you will necessarily get all A's at S P Jain.

Yummy grilled chicken, saucy veggies, BBQ by the seaside? Tempting, right? That’s the S P Jain culture—we always organize a BBQ one or two weeks before our semester exams. It is the perfect timing for this since it relieves stress us just before taking our exams and gives us a break from our very concentrated revision. This time, in Dubai, it was at the Al Mamzar beach park. Great scenery, beautiful gardens, fine sand, warm water—it was an amazing place to spend the evening together, with all the friends.

Want to see something kind of amazing? Okay, here’s an ordinary American kid, out deep-frying a turkey for Thanksgiving at his brother’s condo near Seattle. It’s embarrasing to admit it, but that was me a couple of years ago, when I had never heard of Singapore or Dubai, and wasn’t even sure if Sydney was in Canada or Australia. I was working at Best Buy, and pretty much going nowhere in life.

On November 7 of the year 2013, the BBA batch in Singapore took it upon themselves to challenge the very essence of nature by donning their sportswear and giving the Ketam biking trail a go. The trail, located in Pulau Ubin, is a world-class mountain biking trail which proved to be worthy of its title by challenging the students with its various terrain and merciless twists and turns.
