One of the best aspects of IIM-Raipur is the friendly atmosphere. Although it is a large campus. Everyone including the students, faculty, and administration really puts in the effort to create a welcoming environment and provide the resources necessary to not only allow a new student to acclimate successfully to campus life but also to flourish via the provision of programs such as orientation, prep-lectures and tutoring sessions, wellness, counselling services and recreational activities. Garnishing success for all students who wish to and do attend the university.
These advantages, combined with the extensive diversity of the university, provides for a unique experience that prepares students to be extremely competitive upon graduation.
When the first time I came to the campus I tried to manage myself big time. Cause this was for the first time I was getting out of my comfort zone and staying at a hostel as this a residential programme, I thought that it would be really tough for me here. But nothing as such happened, I started feeling nice in a couple of days. My roommate, my dorm mate and even the seniors, all of them made the life in here really pleasant due to which some small glitches were left unseen.
I even enjoy the mess food, obviously! There is always a room for improvement, but I like it the way it is. I like the food served and the quality plus the quantity of the food is also nice. I had an image of a different kind of mess system and when I arrived here things were pretty fine and so I didn't have much problem adjusting in here. Tea and coffee are available most of the time, in total four meals are served and there are no quantity constraints, that’s really good. We can have as much as we want. Plus the night canteen serves delicious Maggi, which again is a win-win for IIM Raipur students.
The area is calm and the evening breeze is awesome. People coming from various background have a lot to share about there past as well as the ongoings. We get a nice time to mingle and enjoy the atmosphere of IIM.
People coming in here come with a lot of expectations and IIM Raipur is standing upright on the expectations of the people. The seniors and the faculty is so co-operating that it feels so comfortable. Plus the teaching technique is so different that it makes it special on its own. It’s all good and warm in here and that makes my campus more unique. There are a few things which can be changed and I think that it will change gradually because the type of exposure given in here is pretty different which would improve people in all ways.
Which ABG company would you want to work for and why?
One of the companies of the Aditya Birla Group, which I would love to work for is the ULTRATECH Cement. This company comes under top ten cement companies in the world. It is a different field for a person to go in but still, I would like to go there as they are in need of new managerial qualities which would enhance their marketing and hopefully it would be able to rise more. This cement industry is not known to much, I just want to bring the positive changes in the company with which it would rise high.
