Good morning, students!

Welcome to your first day at Paradiso Boarding School! I'm Ms. Adler, here to make sure all of you new arrivals can have a smooth transition into what will become your new home for - hopefully! - the next 8 years of your life.

As you are no doubt aware, Paradiso is the premier institution of middle and high level education in the Kingdom of Heaven. You, dear students, are privileged among the privileged. Here you will learn all you need in order to perform your role during adulthood.

Now, most of you were probably homeschooled all your life, and the idea of getting out from under your parents' wings seems very scary! But rest assured - it's an important part in the development of any elf. Your life away from home and your contact with other students and the faculty will teach you self-discipline and how to live harmoniously in society.

In addition to learning about history and the natural sciences, you will be taught a variety of subjects like art and music, as well as combat-oriented skills. Among these is the manipulation of our world's most important resource: Aether.

Aether is the very life force of the world. As descendants of the divine, we elves are attuned to it, and thus are able to manipulate it with training. Aether lingers in the air but cannot be propagated through it, so each student will be tasked with developing their own Aether Focus in order to better make use of it. Your focus is personal and speaks a lot about you as a person - so choose your design carefully.

You have certainly taken notice of the armband on your uniforms. These are personalized and must be worn at all times. The color on the armband identifies your grade, with the ones you all have right now - red - representing grade 1. Further grades will move along the spectrum of visible light - orange for grade 2, yellow for grade 3, and so on. Grade 8, your final year here, is represented by white.

As a safety measure, you must wear your uniforms both inside and outside the school grounds. While you have access to the entire colony, your uniforms will serve as a means of identifying you as students of Paradiso even in other Sectors, and the barcode inside the armband will help others identify you should there be any issue.

That is all for now! Please head back to your dorms and familiarize yourselves with your new dorm-mates. Good relations to those around you are paramount to a healthy life. Classes start later today, so please refer to your personal schedules and don't be late! If you have any further questions, do not hesitate to consult one of the many BN-UU7 units roaming the school grounds. They exist to serve.

We hope this is the start of a fruitful period in your lives. I'll see you all soon. Have a nice day!

Hundreds of protesters gathered at the Alberta legislature Saturday to express their discontent with Premier Danielle Smith and the UCP government.

The demonstration was one of many in the province, with attendees representing a wide variety of issues including the LGBTQ2S+ community, education, health care, seniors and Albertans with disabilities.

"I think the message that people want to send is that enough is enough when it comes to attacks on our public institutions on health care, education and even just quite frankly our democratic processes," said Bradley Lafortune, executive director of public interest Alberta.

At the rally, demonstrators from different groups shared their concerns with several pieces of legislation the UCP government has introduced. [...]

Story Preview: Magic/Dark Academia AU in which skating, linguistics, and time travel intersect

Professor Baranovskaya loudly cleared her throat and placed a hand on Yuuri’s trembling shoulder.

“Everyone, please take a moment to welcome your newest classmate,” she airily announced, to a rather stilted round of clapping. “If you didn’t get a chance to meet him at the Prospective Students Banquet last December– ” (to Viktor’s chagrin, even louder giggling erupted, making him want to throttle Isabella Yang) “ – or over the last few weeks, allow me to introduce first year student Katsuki Yuuri, hailing from the town of Hasetsu, Japan. I’m told by Professor Cialdini that Yuuri’s grasp of Reverberatory Theory could rival a faculty member’s, so I’m sure you’ll find him to be a valuable resource.”

Curious whispers filled the room at this last sentence. Aside from Viktor and just two other students – 4th years Sasha Samokhina and Kostya Kozhennikov – no one else had actually managed to grasp the intricacies of Reverberation, particularly when it came to its grammatical rules.

“That being said, do try not to resent his prowess too much,” Professor Baranovskaya firmly finished. 

Their eyes met and Viktor felt a bit insulted by her lingering gaze. Resent Yuuri?

Him?!?

Once again, Viktor reflected on how misunderstood he was at Pax. If he tried to befriend promising students like Sasha or his fellow dual major classmate Nao Yasutani, it was automatically regarded with skepticism, as if the Institute's top Reverberator couldn’t possibly want companionship without having ulterior motives.

It made him want to scream.

Had Professor Baranovskaya forgotten how he’d begged Drs. Piseev and Leroy to accompany them on the scouting trip to Japan, back in April? Had she conveniently forgotten that it was Viktor who had so zealously insisted on Yuuri’s recruitment to Pax in the first place, well before that wondrous video had been uploaded to the internet?

---

The above excerpt is a preview of a new 'Alternate First Meeting' Yuri!!! on Ice WIP/series I'm working on: a friends-to-lovers, magical dark academia AU that I was inspired to write after finishing the books Vita Nostra (by Maryna and Serhiy Dyachenko), and Babel (by RF Kuang). Both are so gripping and imaginative, and I couldn't stop thinking about how my favorite characters might intersect with the rich settings/magic systems in either.

Below is a tentative summary; if this sounds interesting, I hope you'll give me a follow!

---

The first known instance of Reverberation – the phenomenon in which a skater produces language and energy with their body, universally felt and understood by all in proximity – occurred in 1952, when Dick Button performed the first triple jump. Over 50 years later, Viktor Nikiforov is skating’s most prolific Reverberator and star student at the University of Chicago’s Pax Institute: the world’s premier research center dedicated to the training of Reverberators for global diplomacy.

When Katsuki Yuuri finds himself being aggressively recruited by his idol to enroll at Pax, he has no idea that the two of them will eventually become best friends. Or, that they will one day co-lead a student uprising once they uncover the true, sinister aim of their education: to master the art of stationary Reverberation that transfers language onto blank pages and creates enough energy to rip through time

(Preferably fantasy) games with a school setting, and a focus on non-fatal violence and mystery solving?

THEME: Magic School Mysteries

Hello friend, so I have a bit of a wide spectrum of options for you today, some of which are more focused on magic, some more focused on mystery, and some more focused on violence. I hope you find something that hits what you're looking for!

Lofi Bards to Study and Relax To, by Ross Eaglesham.

You and your friends are students at a magical high-school, college or university and exams are coming up! Go on magical adventures, reveal ancient secrets and forge deep bonds with your friends - just make sure you don’t miss class!

To help you on your journey, you’re equipped with one of your most prized possessions - the Notestrider. When a reel of magical tape is placed in this small, arcane box, it plays a recording of whatever is stored on the tape; usually through a strange pair of mechanical earmuffs. You and your tight-knit group of friends all put together a mixtape of your favourite songs for studying - 'lofi bards to study and relax to' - and the relaxing beats and chilled out vibes might just be enough to see you through the crazy world of arcane education.

With many secrets to uncover while you’re at a magical institution, Lofi Bards to Study and Relax To looks to have quite a significant capacity to really sink you into the skin of your character. Music can be very good at helping you tune into your emotions and put you in a specific state of mind, and since the Notestrider is meant to help your characters prepare and focus for all of the struggles ahead, you’ll be using that music to put yourself into the shoes of your character.

This is another game that doesn’t seem to prioritize violence at all, but it can make whatever mysteries you decide to unravel incredibly personal. There's also an expansion that includes Artifacts and character options for you if you want access to a broader span of game elements. If you want to really emphasize the student experience in a slightly more magical setting, I’d definitely recommend this game.

The Osterman Academy of Magical Arts, by Wheels Within Wheels Publishing. @ostermad-blog

Welcome to the Osterman Academy of Magical Arts, the premier school for spell craft. Our faculty are leaders in their fields, our staff unparalleled, and our students extraordinary.

All OAMA students are required to reside on campus for the duration of their studies, but the wide variety of campus events ensure that students always have many ways to spend their time, including student-run clubs, a bustling student center, athletic meets, and trips to nearby urban centers.

OAMA also boasts two unique educational opportunities: the class trip and individual projects. Every year, students in each class go to a special destination for a more hands-on educational experience. Furthermore, at the end of each year, all students pursue an individual project tailored to their specific interests and supervised by one of our esteemed faculty. 

The Osterman Academy of Magical Arts has a sliding scale to determine how popular magic is, and how entrenched it is in the world around you. It comes with a grand total of 66 backgrounds to choose from or roll randomly for, including Clown-gician (you thought this was clown school) and Fun Guy (secret colony of fungi masquerading as the life of the party in human form). You’ll also choose your character’s class schedule, create friendships with other characters, and take exams to determine how well they did in their courses.

There isn’t much that allows you to do violence, but if you want to solve mysteries in this game, I think the various character strengths and school classes present in this game give you a really diverse set of approaches to finding answers and solving problems.

Mystic Punks, by mysticpunks.

Students have gone missing at Star Valley High School and no one seems to care. You determine that their disappearances are the result of an otherworldly invasion.

As a teenage misfit, you’ve only ever used your mystic powers to perform dark rituals, but now those powers are the only thing that can save your classmates and stop a supernatural legion from consuming you and your school.

Based on the solo RPG Mystic Punks: The Collected Edition, Mystic Punks Tabletop RPG invites you and your friends to delve deeper into occult mysteries and explore beyond Star Valley High School. 

With supernatural threats abounding and dark threats surrounding you and your peers, Mystic Punks probably has a big chance to bring violence and conflict to the fore. The original game appears to be devoted to a solo roleplaying experience, but the Quickstart appears to allow for group gaming as well. I can’t guarantee that the violence is non-fatal however; this game is sold as a horror experience, so the threat of death probably looms over all of your characters.

Student Protectors of Malaysia, by Aaron Lim / @ehronlime

You are a 17-year-old secondary school student with extraordinary powers. You’ve connected with friends in your school who have similar powers and have been working together to protect your town from supernatural threats. It’s been hard juggling your commitment to use your powers for good with your responsibilities to your families and your studies, but it’s been rewarding.

Now, you’re almost done with school and you really should be focusing on your preparation for the SPM exams, but threat has surfaced that could mean disaster for the entire town if you do not act quickly. Your final year awaits…

Student Protectors of Malaysia probably best fits all of the criteria that we’re looking for here. There are three phases to the game: Student, Protector and Marking. In your Student phase, you’re using your abilities to investigate mysteries in order to figure out what exactly the threat is, and to prepare for whatever your big action scene is going to be. In the Protector phase, you’ll be targeting the threat, whether that be a roaming monster, a rogue magic user, or a more mundane (but powerful) threat. You’ll have to do this while balancing schoolwork, family obligations, and just daily teenage life. Finally, the Marking Phase reflects downtime, assessing how smoothly you solved the problem and how your adventure affected your journey towards personal goals.

The system for this game is influenced by Powered by the Apocalypse, with moves written out for specific situations, like Take Decisive Action, or Recall information. You’ll roll 2d6 and add modifiers up to a maximum of +3. There’s also bits and pieces from Forged in the Dark, most prominently in the Downtime phase and the Stress that your characters accrue through adventures and relieve through hobbies. The game definitely skews more towards secret superheroes than it does towards a magic school, but you could restrict the electives available to your students to make their powers seem more magical and otherworldly than technical or genetic.

The “Gardening” Club, by Wizard of Ox.

Welcome to our very legitimate high school club where we don’t actually do a lot of gardening! We are open to everyone: cheerleaders, talking vegetables and even people who actually garden. We only have one rule: keep our true agenda a secret. Grab a nice cup of herbal tea, water the cacti and search for clues. We must get to the root of things!

You are a group of high school students who, despite being different from each other, have an interest in common: solving mysteries. Since a detective club would be too on the nose, you made a “gardening” club as a front. Each one of you has different abilities you can use to get to the root of things, as well as codenames that give special powers. Can you work together and find out what is going on?

I’m very intrigued by this game. It feels like it would be very easy to modify to fit a setting of your choice. The instruction sheet is only 5 pages, and all of the character concepts are charmingly plant-themed (with a little bit of magic on the side)! The group will set out on missions to discover clues, hoping to piece together the answers to a larger mystery. You will collaboratively fill out a Deduction Tree to figure out how all of the clues connect. If you like collaborative mystery solving this is absolutely the game for you!

Update News

So, I think I can return back to a semi-normal schedule.

Next chapter of Department of Mysteries should be out next weekend and that should mark the return of an every-two-week schedule.

Thanks for your patience. Here's a sneak peak (not edited yet, subject to small changes, etc.):

Ministry Education Changes Report Early Success!

Minister Daishou’s education reforms, introduced at Hogwarts this year, are already reporting progress.

For the last few years, Hogwarts has faced mounting public pressure after a number of disastrous hiring decisions by the Hogwarts Board of Directors, most notably led by Headmaster Ukai. In addition, many have claimed that our country’s premiere school has fallen woefully behind in safety standards, including a rash of petrifications three years ago from a still unknown cause and--of course--the tragic kidnapping and death of a student last year during the Triwizard Tournament held on school grounds. 

With some even calling for Headmaster Ukai’s resignation, Minister Daishou answered public pressure and instituted new reform measures. This includes Ministry pre-approval of curriculum and hiring decisions, starting with the war decorated Auror Minaho Ono taking over for Defense Against the Dark Arts this year.

These measures are already being heralded as a success, as the Prophet learned in our exclusive interview with Deputy Minister Kuroo.

“Children are our future,” the Deputy Minister said. “And we had the Ministry understand that the most important part of making them thrive is providing a safe environment where they can focus on their education and leave the messy politics for the adults. After all, the last thing that belongs in school walls is politics.”

When asked about new professor Minaho Ono, Deputy Minister Kuroo had this to say.

“Oh, she’s doing brillant already,” he told us. “Of course, it’s a challenge catching up the students after years of Headmaster’s Ukai’s, well, less well considered hiring decisions. However, we are hearing every evidence that she’s been mentoring the students wonderfully, a result we should see come with the O.W.L.s and N.E.W.T.s this year.”

On student adjustment, Deputy Minister Kuroo wasn’t worried. “The students love the changes. In fact, I’ve been hearing from my son Tetsuro that the students are even hoping that the Ministry is allowed to do more in the upcoming--”

The newspaper caught on fire and rotated in a rather ominous flaming orb above Kuroo’s wand.

“Now, I definitely never said that,” Kuroo commented. “Think I can sue for libel?”

“The paper or your father,” Suga asked. “Either way, legally yes; practically no. I don’t think any barrister’s going to hear your case.”

“Bloody practicality,” Kurooo muttered in a tone of someone deeply shackled by the coils of the mundane.

“Anyone else vaguely concerned that the Prophet’s being even more obvious that they’re the Minister’s little lap dog.” Oikawa poked at the ashes that Kuroo had finally let drop. “I wonder what they’re wanting for treats. The Minister better watch out for his pant leg.”

Iwaizumi snorted. “Can’t believe they’re our only real paper.”

“They didn’t used to be.” Suga sighed, fiddling with his silver and green tie. “A lot of other ones were around before the war; but, they went out of business or, well, were put out of business by the Ghosts. The Daily Prophet was always the most…circumvent about their criticisms of the Giant.”

“And to the cowards, go the spoils,” Kuroo mock toasted. “Too bad, I heard some of the old ones were golden--especially the cartoons.”

“Oh yeah, they’re awesome,” Bokuto brightened. “Great Aunt Ena’s still got some Mad Bats preserved in the attic!” 

Iwaizumi quirked an eyebrow. “Mad…Bats?

“It was kind of a satire strip about, um….oh,” Suga’s eyes went to the Great Hall’s entrance. “That’s Daichi. I need to go talk to him about our Muggle Studies project.”

“Don’t you have class in like,” Kuroo checked his watch, “twelve minutes?”

“It’ll only take a bit,” Suga said distractedly, already heading for the door.

The group went back to their breakfast.

Bokuto made a weird twitch movement with his jaw.

They ignored it.

He did it again a few minutes later.

They continued to ignore it.

Bokuto lifted his toast as if he was going to start scraping it across his mouth.

Iwaizumi whacked him on the arm. “You’ve gotta quit doing that. Professor Takeda nearly called you out in class because he thought you, like, accidentally transfigured your teeth or something.”

“But, it’s itchy!” Bokuto complained, sticking out his tongue and poking at it…which didn’t really make anything look less weird. “Why didn’t Matsukawa and Hanamaki tell us the leaf was going to be so itchy?”

“Because they’re sadists,” Oikawa said reasonably.

Iwaizumi laughed. “What he said.”

“Look, just drink some hot tea or something. It helps, promise.” Kuroo shoved some at him. “We only need to make it like a bit more than two weeks.”

“That’s a lot!” Bokuto pouted.

“Just distract yourself,” Iwaizumi told him. “Weren’t you going to talk to Akaashi? How’d that go?”

“I haven’t done it yet,” Bokuto mumbled.

The rest looked at him.

“What? I’m still thinking about what I want to say,” Bokuto said. “It’s scary! I don’t like this. Talking to Keiji shouldn't be scary; it’s Keiji.”

Before they could respond, Suga dropped back to his seat. “Sorry about that.”

“Figure out the project,” Iwaizumi asked.

“The project?” Suga tilted his head. “Oh, yeah, we did. I think we know exactly how to go about it now. Anyway, how’s everyone else’s classes going?”

Under the table, Kuroo kicked Oikawa in the shin. 

Iwaizumi shrugged. “Fine, I guess. Really the only one that’s a hassle is Defense.”

Kuroo kicked Oikawa again and Oikawa turned to glare at him. Kuroo met his eyes before looking discreetly at Suga’s neck, then back at Oikawa.

“Oh, the patronus? Yeah, I’m not making progress with mine either.” Suga fiddled with his tie again, the colors red and gold.

Oikawa’s eyes lit up with unholy glee and he looked back at Kuroo. Kuroo smirked.

“Wait, why are you worried about patronuses already?” Bokuto asked. “She said we’ve got to the end of the year.”

“I know, but we’ve got the rest of our N.E.W.T.s then, too,” Suga said. “Do you really want to worry about both of them at once.”

Bokuto shrugged.

Meanwhile, unnoticed by the others, Oikawa and Kuroo were doing their level best at achieving spontaneous mental communication through eye contact alone.

“The Herbology N.E.W.T shouldn’t be too bad,” Iwaizumi said. “Professor Shimada’s got us working on cross-pollinating our own hybrids so it should be mostly done by the time they review them for the exam.”

Oikawa glanced at Suga then back at Kuroo, tilting his head in a question. Both paused before simultaneously shaking their heads.

“Yeah, I’m not that worried about Arithmancy either,” Bokuto said. “I mean the main thing with that is meeting Professor Yamiji’s publication timeline. Compared to that, the exam’s gonna be easy.”

“Sounds like it won’t be too bad, then.” Suga gathered his bag.

“Yeah, probably because we aren’t crazy enough to take seven classes,” Iwaizumi deadpanned.

“Right, how is that going…,” Suga trailed off, finally catching Kuroo and Oikawa whispering to each other. “What are you two doing?”

“Nothing,” they both answered quickly.

Suga blinked.

“What were you saying, Suga,” Oikawa distracted him.

“I was just asking how you’re class schedule’s going,” Suga said.

“Oh, that. Fantastic,” Oikawa gave a thumbs up. “Invigorating even. Nothing to worry about.”

“...Okay.” Suga stood up. “Well, speaking of class, I better get going. Are you sure you’re alright?”

“We’re wonderful,” Kuroo agreed, throwing an arm around Oikawa’s shoulder. “Better hurry to class, though. Don’t want to be late.”

Oikawa beamed. “Absolutely. Have fun!”

Suga shook his head and walked away, deciding to ignore his two friends’ decidedly weird behavior. He probably shouldn’t have known better.

You may expect All We Imagine as Light to be an angry film—an indictment of the country from the eyes of those who have been marginalised. After all, Kapadia has a right to be angry. She is currently battling a police case that’s dragged on for the better part of the last decade, for participating in protests against the appointment of the actor-turned-politician Gajendra Chauhan as the president of the Film and Television Institute of India (FTII), where she was a directing student from 2015–2018. The protests against the appointment of Chauhan were part of a larger movement of resistance led by students against an attempt by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)—the Hindu right-wing party—to curb the independence of educational and creative institutions by appointing compliant ‘yes men’ in positions of power when it came into office in 2014. After she was charged with rioting, Kapadia’s scholarship as a student was suspended. In her first full-length documentary film, A Night of Knowing Nothing (2021), she relayed the truth of the protest movement at FTII and the brutality with which the State cracked down on students. Premiering in the Directors’ Fortnight section at the Cannes Film Festival in 2021, the film won the Golden Eye award. It still hasn’t seen a release in India. And while her alma mater FTII and the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi jumped at the opportunity to congratulate Kapadia on winning the Grand Prix this year for All We Imagine as Light, it’s highly unlikely that even this film will see a wide release in her home country, due to her history of dissent against this government.

Searching for the Best Business School in Kolkata? Here’s What You Need to Know!

Finding the best business school in Kolkata that fits perfectly with your career objectives is critical. The right choice of business school is highly instrumental in maneuvering your career prospects to a great extent. That being stated, exploring every option may be both exhilarating and intimidating. 

Whether your priority is academic excellence, industrial ties, or specialization programmes, finding the right match is the key. So, to help you streamline your search and make an educated choice, here is an in-depth checklist highlighting crucial elements to consider when choosing a premier business school in Kolkata. This guide will provide you with the knowledge you need to decide wisely when to accept offers from the business schools in Kolkata that you have shortlisted. 

Best Business Schools in Kolkata: Highlights

Kolkata has a rich tradition of education, having nurtured numerous scholars who have excelled in fields ranging from arts and science to technology and business. When it comes to management education, Kolkata is home to two of the nation's most prestigious business schools: IISWBM, the country's first Management Institute, which was formed on April 25, 1953, and IIM Calcutta, India’s pioneering IIM, which was created on November 28, 1961.

In addition to these classic business schools, Kolkata has seen the rise of several modern institutions. The capital city of West Bengal, which has more than 150 business schools, including public and private, draws students from all across the nation by offering them a stimulating diverse atmosphere for learning.

Most national management admission examinations, like as the CAT, MAT, XAT, and CMAT, are recognized in Kolkata's business schools. To apply to any business school in the city, one must have a graduate degree with at least 50% aggregate marks and a valid score in any management admission test. For executive programmes, institutions frequently need confirmed proof of at least 3-5 years of job experience. 

Things You Need to Know While Searching for the Best B-Schools In Kolkata

Does the business school offer AICTE-approved courses? Will I get proper placement opportunities after the course completion? Who are the alumni of this business school? What specializations are offered by the MBA colleges in Kolkata? What are the course fees?

When deciding which business schools to pursue an MBA or PGDM programme, questions like the ones above are certain to arise. These questions emphasize the relevance of an array of factors in choosing the right business school. 

As there is no dearth of good business schools in Kolkata, navigating through them to choose the best one could be daunting. Feeling confused? Don’t be, as we've got you covered when it comes to finding the top business schools in West Bengal's capital.

What Programmes are Being Offered?

First thing first- what programmes a business school offers is something that every management aspirant should ask and research to know. For instance, IIMC is popular for offering an MBA in Finance. Similarly, IIFT Kolkata offers a flagship MBA programme in International Business. 

Once prospective institutions have been found, it is advisable to thoroughly investigate the curriculum for the programme. Evaluating reviews on the programme(s) from both former and current students might also yield insightful information.

Following these steps simplifies the process of selecting the most suitable business school in Kolkata based on the courses available. 

Am I Eligible?

Once the prospective business schools are shortlisted, the next step is to check the minimum eligibility criteria. 

This is significant because, while some specifications are common in most business schools, others may vary from one institution to another. In addition, the minimal cut-off % in management entry tests varies in most business schools. Furthermore, not all business schools accept scores from all management entrance tests. For example, admission to IISWBM needs a valid CAT score, whereas Globsyn Business School allows valid CAT/MAT/XAT/CMAT/ATMA results. Furthermore, some business schools may need an additional admission exam, followed by a group discussion and a personal interview. 

Therefore, before making a decision, confirm that you meet the qualifying criteria and are prepared for any further admission requirements that may be required.

What Is the Reputation?

You checked the eligibility criteria and shortlisted your favorite business school but what about their reputation? 

The reputation of a business school is critical for counting it among the best. A high reputation promises high-quality education, outstanding campus amenities, competent teachers, strong industrial links, and much more. Most significantly, a highly reputable institution is known for generating high-quality graduates, making it a reliable choice for employers and the industry.

What About the Industry Connections?

Industry ties are critical in developing a curriculum that meets current industry requirements. Collaboration with experts from diverse industries allows for the development of up-to-date courses that reflect the most recent trends and developments.

Furthermore, these connections are extremely useful during summer internships, which allow students to gain practical experience in real-world settings. Similarly, collaborations with respected organizations increase the probability of being placed in coveted roles with competitive pay packages.

How Are the Placement Opportunities?

Campus placements are critical in preparing students to enter the corporate world. Hence, prominent business schools in Kolkata typically have stellar placement records. They prepare students not just for college placement, but also for future careers. So, when assessing potential business schools to apply to, prioritize those that are recognized for generating career-ready graduates who are placed at top companies.

Who Are the Alumni?

When you browse the websites of renowned business schools in Kolkata, you will come across profiles of prominent people who have excelled in their respective fields, as a part of the alumni network. These institutions boast robust and influential alumni networks,  which demonstrate the quality of education they offer. As a result, while selecting a business school, it is critical to examine the achievements of its graduates and the quality of its alumni network.

Remember that a strong alumni network may help in multiple ways, including aiding with internships, offering guidance and mentoring, helping with placement (both on and off campus), assisting with the upskilling process, and so on. 

Is There Any Student Support Cell?

A student support cell is critical to improving students' overall experiences at business school. Not every business school in Kolkata has an active student support unit. So, seek this feature separately while researching the city's top business schools.

A strong student support cell usually assists students in the following ways:

Academic counseling

Academic guidance

Career counseling 

Helping in career planning, resume building, interview preparation, and job placement

Offer workshops and training sessions to develop soft skills

Organize social events to foster engagement among students, etc. 

What Are the Course Fees?

It is critical to carefully evaluate the tuition expenses. Management courses can cost anything from Rs 50,000 to Rs 25,00,000. Therefore, it's important to review the fees to ensure they align with your budget. Additionally, choosing a business school that offers scholarships or educational loans could help reduce monetary strain.

How Are the Faculty?

Finally, consider the faculty. Assessing the faculty of business schools is critical since they are responsible for delivering high-quality education to students. Faculty members have the potential to make lessons engaging or boring. Furthermore, they serve an important role in guiding students throughout their college years and preparing them for the challenges of the professional world.

The Bottomline

To summarize, the aforementioned are important factors to consider when investigating the top business schools in Kolkata. However, the list may be expanded based on your specific priorities and career aspirations. To make an informed selection, carry out as much in-depth research as possible on business schools.

This Month In History - November Part 2

This is quite a month for pop culture anniversaries. For Part 1 read here. Here is Part 2:

Nov. 10, 1969: Sesame Street premieres

In Nov. 1969, the children's educational TV institution known as Sesame Street premiered on public television. It was quite revolutionary. It was a show for kids with valuable life lessons, but told in a way that was also entertaining for grown-ups watching with the kids. Best of all it featured Jim Henson’s Muppets. More than anything, the show had and still has an important message about respect, decency and equality. A neighborhood where people and puppets of all different colors can play and work together. When I was growing up, I was a fan of the show. I especially liked Burt and Ernie, The Count and Kermit the Frog. Years after I outgrew Sesame Street, I would watch it as I babysat when I was a teen and realized some of their humor was really sharp, i.e. their Twin Peaks parody “Twin Beaks” or the Pearl Jam parody Fur Jam performing “Don’t Waste the Water”. In recent years I watched Sesame Street with my son, who liked the show too! How many TV shows began 55 years ago and are still just as good if not better than when they began? Happy 55th Sesame St!

Nov. 10, 2014: Sonic Highways released

In Nov. 2014, Foo Fighters' highly ambitious 8th album was released. The band went to eight different cities, studied the musical history of each city and recorded a song in each city with producer Butch Vig. There was an accompanying documentary series on HBO as well. The band remains themselves in each city and there's some serious bangers here and some cool guests like Scream's Pete Stahl. I included this in my Best Albums of 2014 list as well as my Best Albums of the 2010s. It's an album that doesn't get enough credit from them, but should. Happy 10 Sonic Highways!

Nov. 15, 1974: Desolation Boulevard released

In Nov. 1974, The Sweet's third and best album was released. I first discovered the British glam rock band through 80s glam metal, much of which was heavily influenced by them. As a teen, I checked this album out of the library, recorded it onto a blank tape and listened to it countless times. In addition to “Ballroom Blitz” (later covered by Tia Carrere for Wayne’s World, which also featured the original), the album had “The Six Teens”, “No You Don’t”, “Sweet F.A.”, and one of my favorites “Fox on the Run” (featured on the soundtracks to Dazed and Confused and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2). In 2021, I got to interview guitarist Andy Scott about the band's album Isolation Boulevard and he said "What better way than creating a similar path that our 1974 album, Desolation Boulevard produced. With that in mind Isolation Boulevard in 2020 was a piece of cake and the results speak for themselves." Happy 50th Desolation Blvd!

Nov. 16, 1979: Night in the Ruts released

In Nov. 1979, Aerosmith's 6th studio album was released. Here is my piece I wrote in 2019. Happy 45th NITR!

Nov. 16, 1984: Night of the Comet opens

In Nov. 1984 one of the best valley girl movies was released, this one a sci-fi horror movie. Here is my piece I wrote in 2019 and here is my brief interaction with star Kelli Maroney at the 2018 Rock and Shock. Happy 40th NOTC!

Nov. 16, 2009: Them Crooked Vultures released

In Nov. 2009 the debut album from supergroup Them Crooked Vultures was released. Dave Grohl of Nirvana and Foo Fighters, Josh Homme of Queens of the Stone Age, and John Paul Jones of Led Zeppelin came together for a rocker of an album. Even before this album was released, the band was announced and they did a mini-tour. I was lucky enough to see their 2009 show at Roseland in NYC and was highly impressed. The album sounds like Homme and his QOSTA tendencies took over much of the album which is too bad considering the other two, but it was a joy to hear these three playing and riffing off each other. Happy 15 TCV!
