Calculate it
While most students now work on laptops during their financial/ accounting classes, a financial calculator can often be a life-saver. Specifically designed to perform complex financial calculations quickly and accurately, this calculator saves time and effort in calculating complicated financial equations. Plus, some MBA programmes require students to take standardised examinations such as GMAT or CFA, where often the use of specific financial calculators, such as the Texas Instruments BA II Plus, is permitted. Sometimes, it is cool to be old school.

Keep a Record
While one can take notes during a lecture, nothing quite beats recording it. With a dictaphone, you can focus on learning the concepts instead of taking notes. While most smartphones have voice recording apps, given the volume of recordings that you have to make during a course, and the accuracy required, it makes sense to have a dedicated device to record lectures. This device from Sony, with its dedicated 4GB storage, slips easily into your pocket and is powered by AAA batteries, so you don’t have to charge one more device. Plus, you can easily transfer the recordings to your PC through the builtin USB connector.

Research Assistant
If you’re a management student, you’re often doing extensive reading and research and working on projects and presentations. This means you may need to print out articles, case studies, reports, etc., regularly. Having a personal printer makes sense—one that’s hassle-free and compact. This printer from HP fits the bill—it’s wireless and compact. Plus, since it features an ink tank, instead of replacing cartridges, you just need to top-up the ink. Besides this, the HP Smart app allows you to quickly scan images and documents—even on your phone—and print with a single command.
