Of course, it has been tough … anyone who’s done an MBA, especially from IIM-A, can attest to that.”She further reflected on the personal growth she has experienced during the past year, which included adjusting to being back in exam mode after six years away from formal classroom assessments, and learning from the diverse pool of classmates around her.“The best part for me has been the friendships. What I’ve learnt from my batch-mates is far more than what I’ve learnt inside the classroom.” She praised her professors and the curriculum, and described the overall experience as one of the most fulfilling so far. Navya received a lot of backlash when news of her admission emerged. Some critics questioned why someone from an elite family would choose a domestic institution rather than studying abroad again.
