IIM Shillong And My Crazy Friend

One should be sure about what he wants to do in his life, what and how he will achieve those goals andfor me it is MBA so I gave CAT to get an MBA from one of the top business institutes in the country, and after the CD-PI process finally I am able to convert IIM Shillong. And I will always remember that moment when the driver pull over his taxi in front of IIM Shillong main gate, and I was amazed to see the place and realize why they call it the ‘Campus in the clouds’. I was with my family and they loved the campus and environment here in Shillong.

IIM Shillong - Into The Clouds

On June 21, I landed on Guwahati Airport, along with my parents. It was a usual sunny day in monsoon. We boarded a cab for Shillong at noon and started an unexpected journey. It was interesting to see the changing weather patterns. The sun was steadily replaced with drizzles and the with drizzles came the green landscapes with grasslands all around. It was around then when we reached Meghalaya. It was a three-hour journey until we reached Shillong. Shillong, the capital city of Meghalaya, is a hilly urban region and is almost but a hill station if it wasn’t for its height above sea level. Slopes are extremely steep, more than in any hill stations. Wooden houses, meat shops selling pork are some of the common sights along the roads. The city has a dense population in the city center. There are retail stores of all brands, local embroidery stores, Government buildings constructed in Khasi architecture, churches and cathedrals and yet the city lacks no greenery. As we were seeing all this in the cab, I had made my mind to explore the city whenever I would get the chance. But until then I had another call, the beginning of a new journey, the end of all worries and the pinnacle of all dreams. At around 5 pm, after checking in at the hotel, we reached IIM Shillong.

IIM Shillong - Getting Away To Get Somewhere

Coming to IIM Shillong was nothing less than a dream for me, but what I experienced right from the moment I got into the cab which was supposed to take me to the campus from Guwahati airport was nothing short of enthralling. The alluring sights of the mountains will always be part of my memories. But one thing that was even more beautiful than the journey was what I experienced when I got to the campus.

Sustainability - From Theory to Practice At IIM Shillong

A mentor had once told me that management is all about managing the three M’s – men, machines and money, that the key to success for any organisation is the effective management of these resources. While she was right in a way, I believe that not just management, but the sustainable management of these resources is more important in the present times. Today, organisations are trying to reduce their carbon footprint, minimize the environmental impact of their day-to-day activities by incorporating sustainability into their operations. Thus, there is a need for socially and environmentally conscious managers who can contribute to generating high throughput for the organisation without impacting the planet, and therein comes the Indian Institute of Management, Shillong.

My Campus - IIM Shillong

The most unique thing about IIM Shillong is that it strongly believes in sustainability and takes serious steps to improvise it. To generate awareness among the students of IIM Shillong, it conducts a one week course, also known as the foundation program, on sustainability where both theory and practical perspectives are taught. There is also a day dedicated to a trek to the hills of Meghalaya, which provides the students a great chance to experience the beauty of nature and to make students realise the importance of nature and its conservation. Apart from that IIM Shillong, situated in the capital of Meghalaya, is blessed with awesome weather, lush green valleys, full bloom forest, beautiful rain, rapid streams and captivating waterfalls. There is never a chance to complain about the weather while studying or working, and nature there has provided a wonderful cool outdoor study space beneath the stars or under the shades irrespective of the time of the day. Another advantage of being in the northeast is that students are exposed to a totally different culture.

IIM Shillong - Opening The Gates To New Opportunities

Entry into a B-school was the most awaited moment for me since the third year of college, when I first started to prepare for CAT.IIM is a brand everyone wants to associate themselves with and I was no different. Going through the rigorous processes of interviews and group discussions or writing ability test by the premier B-schools from where I had received the shortlists, I ended up doing a lot of qualitative research on all the B-schools. I realised that though IIM Ahmedabad, Bangalore and Calcutta are a league part from the rest of the colleges, the onus is on the individuals to make the most out the resources being provided by the college and being a part of the top 3-4 percentile of the country, it can be rest assured that one would get the best lot of peers. I never had a second thought of joining IIM Shillong as it has established a brand of itself in the industry and is now the newest of the older IIMs and also the oldest among the newer IIMs. The reason I wished to pursue a MBA was to hone my leadership skills, shape myself as an individual and to broaden my horizon of knowledge. IIMs whether new or old are completely student driven and provides the perfect platform for an individual to mould oneself into leaders of tomorrow. IIM Shillong was established with the mission to promulgate knowledge in all aspects of management education for sustainable development and this differentiates itself from the rest of the B-schools. It not only focusses on the teachings of sustainability but also on the practical application of it. Which better place can offer one the chance to appreciate the importance of inculcating sustainability practices into their daily lives than living within the untouched beauty of Shillong. Unlike the other B schools which are situated in the metro or the tier 1 cities, Shillong provides a very different environment to the MBA students. The city provides immense opportunities to the individuals to practically apply what they have learnt in their classrooms to overcome the challenges the city faces and being located in the north-east, it provides a very different cultural experience. For me life is all about experiences and it is rightly believed that experiences make man. The above reasons together encouraged me to join the Campus in Clouds – IIM Shillong.
