Taxila Business School

In the end, Taxila didn't disappoint, even if it wasn't always pure sunshine and roses. While the curriculum at Taxila remains rigorous and that largely owes to the case method. If we are completely honest and in a safe space, it is true that each business school is covering most of the same stuff in the first year. The reason I say the case method is vital in maintaining the rigor of the curriculum is because it has the potential to expose you. In speaking with folks from other programs during my bulge bracket internship and since starting consulting full-time, it sounds like preparing for class was a nice-to-do, but not an imperative. At Taxila, it is more of an imperative. There is a fear inside every sentient being that they'll be exposed in front of 120 classmates if they don't at least make a modest attempt at preparation.

Paying-it-forward is an important part of the mentality and students go to great lengths to help their classmates. Many students take leadership roles in student groups and help organize activities outside of school.

For example, if you are interested in investment banking or consulting, there is a wealth of resources (current students, alumni, clubs) that are available to help pursue an internship or job in these areas. However, if you are interested in some of the less common professions like marketing or PE, then much more of the onus is put on you to guide your search. Taxila still makes great efforts to help in these areas but it still lacks in comparison to others
