After a year of proper analysis ;), here it comes.
Students in B schools, typically fall in the following five categories:
1. Silent Assassins: They are the real smart guys. They do not get deterred by the fact the profs give marks based on the number of sheets you fill, or on the number of arbit graphs and diagrams that you make. Their sole purpose is education, knowledge and exposure. They do not do a lot of talking in the class, but when they do, they talk smart stuff. People around are left admiring at the quality of what was said. They do not have anything against anyone, they are willing to help out other students, majorly because they know that they would still be better. They do not copy in quizzes, assignments or tests. They are amongst the toppers and usually get placed in the first or second day.
2. Head Bangers: They are the other extremes. They do not study. They keep partying almost everyday. There is a regular stock of alcohol and cigarettes in their rooms. All Head bangers usually form one group, unlike silent assassins, because of the extremity of their activities, interests and opinions. In a group of five, there would be usually one loser(read rich, arrogant, brainless, but full of attitude). However, the presence of a sensible and intelligent guy in this group evens it out. These people get placed fast, because they are street smart. They are the anti system people. People who do everything that the system prohibits, and yet achieve the results that the system wants them to achieve. They typically are two pointers, with the better ones becoming three pointers.
3. Jack of all trades: These guys are good at everything. They study, they party hard, they have good number of pretty looking friends around them. Everyone holds them in high regards. These guys however, are at the middle of the spectrum. In the end, its all a smooth easy life for them. They neither go through extreme lows, nor do they ride on the high waves. These guys mingle with everyone. They are extremely social and liked by everyone, other than those who are jealous of them.
4. "Three point Five" pointers: These guys have a grad college kind of an attitude, but a good grad college, mind you. They are independent. They hate the fact that grading in B schools happens on criterion which is not necessarily depth of knowledge. They get frustrated somewhere around the third term, decide that they are good and that they need to learn things but in their own way. They usually end up trying to do a lot of good things, both for themselves and for the college too. In life usually, chances are high that these people end up being success stories. Such people, in B schools, usually form groups within themselves. They like observing and analyzing the people around. They try to be good to everyone, but within themselves they know who is to be trusted and who not to be. They usually like the same people and hate the same people. They usually end up being in charge of events. They interact a lot with their profs, but outside the academic scope.
5. Blood suckers: This is the most dangerous group of all. Typically, they thrive on the concept of relative grading. They do stuff like 'not taking photo copies for a friend who always does it for him/her'. They are essentially hypocrites, who bitch behind the back and act best friends in front of them. They are highly fake and artificial, and show chameleon like properties. They change color like everyday. From best friend to 'I have seen you somewhere' to 'Yet another stranger': these are the kinds of behavior typically shown over a period of two weeks. They fake intelligence and even quality, and are usually the most aggressive during placement seasons. If we were to believe them, the A and A+ grades that they got, were all the results of LSDs the profs took while correcting only their paper. They somehow never know anything, and never study anything; but end up taking five extra sheets. They never find their performance in exams satisfactory. The least they are is 'fake'. Everyone should stay away from people belonging to this group, unless you are one amongst them. Guys usually do not have to deal them. They are typically girls. However, exceptions do exist.
