One of the unique features of IIM Kashipur is the radiant cooling system installed in its hostel block which is one of the many state-of-the-art infrastructure facilities. It employs heat exchangers in between the walls to keep us cool during sweaty summers and warm during chilly winters of Uttarakhand.
The hostel blocks are designed Harvard style. These three-storied buildings have six rooms and a common room on each floor. While you can enjoy your privacy in your room (single occupancy), you can also have endless debates and interaction with your floor mates in the common room. After all, what is MBA without peer discussions! The campus is equipped with almost all sports facilities like Football, Volleyball, Frisbee, Basketball, Badminton, Tennis and Table Tennis. Even Taekwondo practitioner is available on weekly basis to give lessons.
Whenever campus of IIM Kashipur is being discussed, it would be sinful not to discuss what it is like in the winters. The winters usually start around the month of October and by January it is in full force with temperature dwindling to almost 2 degrees. It is difficult to have a clear view of anything beyond fifteen to twenty meters as the campus gets engulfed by the fog. The nights are particularly chilly and we organize bonfire to get both warmth and some great stories of our friends. Mess complex also becomes a hot spot during winters and all of us try to finish our dinner as slowly as possible. When the fog gets cleared, you can have a picturesque view of snow-capped mountains far away kissing the light blue sky. While many students dream of such campus, we at IIM Kashipur live it.
Which ABG company would one want to work for and why?
Although working in any company with the heritage of Aditya Birla Group would be a privilege, however given the choice, the ABG company I would work for would be Aditya Birla Capital Limited. This is due to my personal interest as I am fascinated by the Finance domain. Working in the coveted Asset Management profile in an esteemed organization like ABCL, which is one of the largest financial service provider in India and has achieved significant milestones like the revenue increase of 94.9% YoY would be a dream come true for all finance enthusiasts like me.
