Fact to Fiction 

Yashodhara Lal’s second book, ‘Sorting Out Sid’, was launched recently. Her first, ‘Just Married, Please Excuse’ (2012), was a hilarious account of her trials and tribulations with marriage - almost autobiographical in nature.  By contrast, Sorting Out Sid is about a man going through a divorce - and is a work of fiction.

NDIM Upskills & Upscales 

NDIM and Bloomberg partner for effective education and learning in the field of Managerial and Financial Skills Development! Bloomberg is a leading provider of local and global financial information to Global businesses, banks, government ministries and universities. Bloomberg India team has established working relationships with key government associations and regulatory bodies, to ensure that local requirements are met. Bloomberg Institute has now joined hands with NDIM to help enhance the Management and Leadership Skills of young budding managers, by imparting its financial expertise. NDIM, with a unique culture of pursuing innovative ways to provide unparalleled learning and skills development to its students, has stepped ahead in the field of skills development by earning the tag of 'Official BAT Centre' for the Bloomberg Aptitude Test (BAT) - a test designed to help students connect with financial employers worldwide in a more efficient manner.Taking this endeavour further, Bloomberg Institute decided to hold this Test free of cost for students across the spectrum of different colleges in Delhi NCR. NDIM, in the same spirit, hosted Bloomberg official Summy Kataria, Country Manager - University Relations along with the Campus Ambassador - Ashita Modi, and conducted BAT at the NDIM Campus free of cost - which was taken by a huge number of NDIMites. With this, NDIMites have stepped up the ladder and gained unmatched and invaluable exposure, while receiving valuable feedback regarding their strengths and weaknesses related to a career in Business and Finance. An added advantage of taking BAT is that one is simultaneously marketed to over 20,000 global employers via the Bloomberg Talent Search. NDIM’s students got evaluated on their aptitude for a career while identifying their personal strengths relative to global peers, thus enhancing their exposure for full-time and internship opportunities. The students not only found the Bloomberg Aptitude Test very practical and comprehensive, but also a very effective, time-efficient and innovative tool to assess their aptitude and knowledge, as also their skills related to a career of their choice. The results were posted quickly and efficiently by Bloomberg. NDIM is proud to be associated with Bloomberg and looks forward to enhanced learning and exposure for its students through this wonderful educational drive.
