IIM Shillong And The Days Of Learning
Sustainability is something which resonates with IIM Shillong. All the participants go through the foundation course in the first month itself. The foundation course is truly enlightening. After the six days of learning various dimensions of sustainability, we were lucky enough to go trekking with the whole batch. The course could not have ended better. The trip started around 6 in the morning and we were among the first few who reached there. The weather was chilly with frequent mild showers. We were divided into small groups and were assigned a guide for each group on reaching our first destination, the sacred groves of Mawphlang. While we were entering the forest, our guide was continuously helping us with all the tree and orchids there. He told us about the history of the forest and the way the people have contributed to keeping the forest intact. We were not allowed to go near the more valuable trees which were used for medicinal purposes.

IIM Shillong - How I Entered The MBA Vertical After Law Graduation
I was a freshman in my under-graduation college and was deeply dispositioned to be a corporate lawyer. In my quest to join the corporate world, doing an MBA seemed like a great perspective but I shunned that thought because 5 years of law school was enough studies for me. I invested myself in various internships trying to hone and develop my skillsets and also trying to identify which area interests me. I had a life changing internship in FICCI-Flo Lucknow-Kanpur chapter where I was the organisational head and was primarily involved in setting up the organisation and conducting seminars and webinars to annex the great expanse in the whole of Uttar Pradesh. Soon the reputation of FICCI-Flo reached its apex and it became one of the major organisation hosting a range of 32 events within 2 years. Coupled to this internship and after 3 years into my law college, my inclination was flared by my uncles business and I was thorough in being an intricate part of the business or the corporate vertical. It was no later that I placed myself in one of the most eminent B-school of the nation i.e. IIM Shillong.

IIM Shillong - An Abode In Clouds
Indian Institute of Management, Shillong also called - The Campus in clouds- is my home for the next two years. I’ve been here for about 20 days now and I’ve already started admiring the culture here. There are several things about the institute that make it out-stand all others and one of them is “The foundation course on sustainability.”

Life At IIM Shillong
After all the CAT preparations, and the rigorous selection process of the B-Schools I finally made it to IIM Shillong, The Campus In Clouds. The journey so far has been quite like a roller coaster ride where each day we face a new challenge which disrupts our status quo. We have been shaken out of our normal and relaxed lives and made to face the realities of the corporate life. We at IIM Shillong have deep respect for the society and hence we constantly endeavor to give back to them. We consider it as our responsibility to take care of nature and have inculcated sustainability in all our operations. We work as a family where everyone keeps the other motivated through the highs and lows. There is a feeling of mutual sharing and a deeper bond among us. Together we face the upheavals in the path and united we party after the gloomy days. The birthday of each student is celebrated as a festival in the campus as all the folks join in the midnight craziness. The demarcation between the days and the nights have faded as we can find the hostel lights open till late in these cold nights. The only survival strategy is to keep hustling. We live in the natures abode between the calmness of the mountains, the beauty of the forests and the lovely localities. We have the night canteen which satiates our late night cravings. The mess is the common meeting place for the 180 odd people who have poured in from all the corners of India representing different regions, cultures, ethnicities, languages and academic backgrounds. Our batch has been privileged enough to boast of a high diversity which would allow greater intermingling of ideas and peer learning. The students are more than willing to help each others out in their respective areas of expertize so that the whole batch can learn and grow together. I am confident that this bond will grow stronger by the day and will even survive the test of time during the placements season when everyone rejoices when a fellowmate gets placed in his/her dream company. Irrespective of competition it is this amicableness which sets IIM Shillong apart from any other B-School. The professors whom we fondly consider as facilitators bring out the best in us through their facilitation and nurture. The classes are made interesting through a proper mix of all forms of pedagogy. The focus is not on rote learning but on practical application and understanding. The seniors are always there as a support system guiding us through this journey. I hope to make the maximum out of these 2 years of my life and imbibe all the qualities I had aspired for before enrolling myself for this curriculum.

IIM Shillong And Its Discreetness
After all the battle revolving around CAT 2017 and gruelling interviews, life brought me in IIM SHILLONG to chase my target and achieve my goals which is quite high. And it was a completely different experience in the the 3 weeks that I spent over here. THE CAMPUS IN CLOUDS, as the institute pitches itself, is distinct from the rest of the B-Schools for its scenic beauty and the peace that hung in its atmosphere which is perfect for academics and cultural activities.

IIM Shillong And Peer Learning
When I reached Guwahati from Delhi I was left in awestruck by the scenic beauty of Assam. While travelling from Guwahati to Shillong the view was panoramic. The campus of IIM Shillong is located between hills and weather is quite pleasant and it was such a relief after experiencing the heat of Delhi. It is indeed the Campus in Clouds and one is astonished by the surroundings.

IIM Shillong - The Place To Find Your Soul
“Why IIM Shillong?”, so many people asked me this question so many times and I have tried so many different answers. My answers have never been able to satisfy them and I don’t know if they ever will. But just after 15-20 days at IIM Shillong I have the answer for myself. I don’t know I am dreaming or not, I don’t know I am being rational or not, I don’t know I am being biased or not but I think everyone, no matter he/she is an MBA aspirant or not, should experience the way of life at IIM Shillong.
