To the most of you, it is one of the new IIMs that has been set up by MHRD in 2011, but as Bryan Batt said -“Labels don't really impress, it's the uniqueness and risk in decor that inspires.” So let me take you on the journey of uniqueness, risk and décor that makes IIM Kashipur,a preferable choice over many other IIMs.
Location:
Being located in the beautiful state of Uttarakhand, it is very close to the nature and scenic plains of the Himalayas makes our campus greener than any other IIMs. Also, it provides options to the plethora of outgoing activities, biking trips and quick getaways to some of the best hill stations of the country.
Industrial Connect:
Having located in the industrial belt of Uttarakhand and Uttar Pradesh, it is connected to more than 180 industries nearby which provides the students a lot of industrial exposure before taking a step out in the business world.
Academic Rigour:
When it comes to rigour nothing beats IIM Kashipur, which has been inherited by none other than its mentor IIM Lucknow. You are going to have some of the toughest but life lasting experiences here with late nights classes, assignment deadlines, quizzes with again attending next day class on time, and repeating this for weeks. One thing you will surely learn here i.e. how to complete any task on time.
200 Acres Campus:
With 200 acres campus, you have an awesome infrastructure, magnificent classrooms, 13 Bloomberg terminals, big library, single sharing AC hostels with all the amenities on each floor like a washing machine, microwave, water purifier, cricket and football grounds, basketball court and the list goes on.
The Amphitheatre:
It is our OAT (Open Air Theatre) which hosts all the fests and festival celebrations with lots of joy in them. Also one can see students in summers enjoying their evening in the amphitheatre with singers mixing the air with melody, chatterboxes sharing experiences and gathering around a bonfire during winters.
Excellent Faculty:
You will feel lucky to be taught by some of the best faculties of management. Be it Operations, Marketing, Finance or HR these faculties will give you life-long lessons which will make you a knowledge packed and confident person. Wherever you will go, you will feel the importance of your learnings and utilize it in different areas to achieve success in your domains.
Mess Food and Canteen:
Who does not like the taste of mangoes? Being situated in nearby mango rich forests you will enjoy the fresh aroma of mangoes. From Kadhai Chicken to Dosa, Vada to Khichdi, Chhole bhature to Rajma you will enjoy cuisines from all over India in fully AC mess. During late night assignments, case studies and competition discussions, Namo canteen will be your saviour.
Which ABG company would I want to work for?
It is “
Idea Cellular Limited” where I want to work in future. The rationale behind this is that I have prior work experience in telecommunication field. I worked as an Assistant Engineer in Ericsson where I gained the knowledge of culture and working methodology of a telecom company. I have worked in RCOM project which was shut down due to debt and also due to entrance of JIO and its market strategies. I know precautionary measures which could have been taken to avoid the shut-down of RCOM project and this I can utilize in
Idea to compete in this monopolistic market which JIO is trying to achieve with its unfair market practises.
