5 mistakes to avoid before joining B School Checklist | Things to do before joining B School Ep 5

This is Episode 5 of the “Things to Do Before Joining B-School” series, and this one is all about helping you avoid some of the most common and costly mistakes students make before starting their MBA Journey. The phase between converting to a B-school and actually joining it is often underestimated. Many students take this time lightly, while others feel lost without clear direction. Based on my own experience and conversations with students across multiple IIMs, I’ve identified five key mistakes you should consciously avoid before entering a B-school. In this video, I walk you through these mistakes with practical context, what typically goes wrong, why it matters in the long run, and how you can approach things more thoughtfully. The idea is not to overwhelm you, but to give you clarity so that you enter B-school prepared, aware, and a step ahead. If you’ve been following the series so far, this episode will help you connect all the dots. And if you’re new here, this is a great place to start thinking about your MBA journey more seriously.
