A memorable incident in classroom: I would like to talk about an experience in the classroom which I felt very infatuated with. It was the class of “Human Behavior in Organizations” and the faculty had made us fill up a personality check questionnaire in the previous class. There were two totally opposite traits and a student would fit in either of the two based on his/her response.
Being an engineer the life is much different from what it was in IIT. Life at MDI is very fast moving. The first week is Induction week in which we get a lot of exposure from various industry people about their business. It was a time where we get only 3 to 4 hours of sleep which was a different experience for me.
Through sleepless nights and exhausting interviews, there I was at the entrance gate of MDI on the 14th of June. The last six months had been tiresome but the result was all that mattered. I was walking into one of the premier b-schools in the country. Sweating in the scorching summer heat of Gurgaon, I was one of the many who chose to explore the campus at that moment. Surrounded by well-trimmed greenery, the buildings on the campus stood tall and red. The chirping of birds and the sound of hushed conversations of seniors were the only voices you could hear. Hostels looked lively. I was looking forward to the next 2 years of my life here.
Having multiple new IIMs calls, researching on every one of them, writing down pros & cons, discussing with family and friends. Choosing a college is a long process for sure. And I chose IIM Raipur over all the other new IIMs call I had. But that feeling when you finally face it becoming reality is amazing.
One of the most exciting events that marked the beginning of my B-school in MDI was KOK: inter-section sports tournament. The event was flagged off by the much-awaited marathon, ‘Mandevian Miles’. All the first-year students actively participated in the high spirited marathon to run for a cause and to earn points for their respective teams. This was followed by a week-long sports championship involving a fair mix of indoor and outdoor games.
It was 14th June, 2018 when I stepped inside the MDI campus. Roaming around the red-brick academic buildings left me mesmerized to the core. The strategically located campus in the heart of corporate hub of NCR, gives one an immense opportunity to learn from the industry leaders, compete and showcase their skills among/to the best minds of the nation.
My journey in MDI started with drastic transformation in my routine as well as personality. This one month was full of excitement, enriching exposure and rigour. First time in my life I got golden opportunity to interact with corporate leader and listen to their views on MBA, purpose of life and their rich experiences. For me, this one month set the perfect foundation for my vision and view of life. It was after long time that I paused for a moment to realise the real purpose of life.
