A Case For Bigger Batch Size At B-Schools - Networking 101 By IIM Indore Student

In addition to that, at the campus level, for the B-school competitions, one definitely needs to have a rapport with one’s team members. This batch size offers a person a myriad of options to choose people having subject matter expertise pertaining to a particular domain and ensure that their team in any B-school competition has the confluence of the best minds across all domains.

Well, networking doesn’t just happen within the over 1000 participants in the campus. With more than a thousand students graduating every year, the alumni base is as strong as ever. This only adds to the strength of the networks one forms at IIM Indore. It is rarely ever the case that a person studying at IIM Indore has absolutely no professional or social contacts built over the span of the two years of MBA.

All these points mentioned above highlight the fact why a big batch size is beneficial for networking – especially when it comes to the period when one pursues an MBA. Networking is about knowing the right people who are in the right places, and a big batch size definitely increases the sample size of people for building up networks in and around the campus.
