FMS-Delhi Students Return from China after Successful 10-Day Trip under Exchange Program

The visit also saw the future managers visit the much famed and oft-modeled Beijing Economic and Technology Development Zone, Tsinghua University, Yunnan University, Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronomies,

the 'Birds Nest' - the site where opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympics would be held, the Great Hall of the People that's their Parliament, and of course, the Great Wall of China.

"We got to interact with a lot of students. Surprisingly, their education system is very similar. They follow the similar ways of markings through projects and examinations. The difference is that they have huge campuses and all types of schools - arts, engineering, management nestled in them, something akin to our very own Delhi University," quips Ankita. "We also visited a few firms there - Pharma groups, manufacturing plants, software parks, etc., and could not help wonder at the entrepreneurial spirit of the Chinese there," adds Viral.

All in all, it was a wonderful experience for the two bright management students. The delegation was the first in a series of five that shall be sent by the government. Viral and Ankita now await their turn to extend the hospitality to their Chinese counterparts when they visit the country later this year. In what is being touted as the decade of the Indian and Chinese economies, a healthy interaction among the leading minds of management education in both the countries shall only strengthen the Sino-Indian ties. And having already had a tie-up with Lahore University of Management Studies (LUMS), Pakistan, last year, FMS is clearly having a head-start in grooming global managers; an art that the faculty has mastered since its founding in 1954.

Concluded.
