IIM Shillong And The Many Reasons That Make It Unique

IIM Shillong And The Many Reasons That Make It Unique

IIM Shillong, the CampusInCloudS is not just a b-school; it is a home away from home. It is a place where teaching is not just restricted to class rooms but it goes beyond that. Here students are taught to take up live projects and apply the theoretical knowledge in a practical way. IIM Shillong is the college where sustainability is not just in words but in actions too, such as using dustbins made of bamboo in the campus. It is one of the few colleges to host a Golf Cup where more than 150 golf players come to participate. IIM Shillong not just believes in making managers but also in giving back to the society through the events like Nurturing Minds where school children are taught in an interactive way. IIM Shillong is an entirely different experience.

I presume many of you are already familiar with this popular cultural reference that was featured in the movie “The Matrix”. For those who aren’t, it’s a choice between taking the Red pill that grants you access to knowledge, freedom, and makes you face the brutal truths of reality or the Blue pill that provides security, happiness and the blissful ignorance of reality.

My Selfish Reasons For Choosing IIM Shillong

My Selfish Reasons For Choosing IIM Shillong

I have always been a narcissist, often finding myself unabashedly boasting about it, much to the annoyance of the present company. I am full of myself, and prioritized a smaller batch size over other parameters while considering a business school, with a promise of a greater faculty to student ratio. I wanted the extra attention from the faculty, to absorb all the invaluable insights they garnered from their experiences going through very enviable career trajectories. I feared that would be lost in other business schools, creating disconnect between the professors and the students. IIM Shillong, on the one hand, boasts of a highly acclaimed faculty team, facilitating a relatively small group of participants comprised of just under a couple of hundred. On a lighter note, the constant badgering to visit home and the emotional blackmail that accompanies it, would now be obsolete, owing to the location of Shillong.

IIM Shillong - Decisions Of Life

IIM Shillong - Decisions Of Life

There are phases in one’s life where decisions pave way for important consequences. One such decision for me was joining the “CAT” race and eventually ending up in IIM Shillong. From the very day I have set foot on this campus, I am amazed every moment by its beauty. IIM Shillong is one of the most scenic campuses of higher education, of India. I am in awe every time there are clouds around me when I am taking a stroll in the lush green campus. But beauty is just one aspect. It is a B School after all and that comes with its own unique environment pressurizing one to excel and achieve, become the person one dreamt to be in the first place. I had conveniently ignored the environment and enjoyed the student life without adding any such said pressure to my life.
