IIM Shillong - Home Away From Home | Raghav Agarwal

Punctuality is of utmost importance in any B-school but it is extremely difficult to wake up on time, especially when you were struggling the entire night to complete your assignments. The bed seems too comforting and the alarm clock is never potent enough to carry you away from the arms of slumber. The only hope is that a Samaritan will come running to your room, reminding you of the consequences of missing the class. You are not supposed to leave your hostel wing before ensuring everyone is awake and ready for the session. The onus of every individual lies on the entire batch and this is what makes my campus unique.

IIM Shillong - My Study Group | Nilesh Kumar

To start with I would like to claim that from the very first day after the groups were formed, we are known as the best group.  There might be many reasons behind it; we never said anything bad about any of our group member in front of anyone. We never faced any problem in any group assignment as I believe we had a group of very diverse people in the aspect of the field of knowledge as well as work experience.  We never faced a problem in dividing the load of work among ourselves. To improve the efficiency we always helped each other in every part of the work.

I joined the 2017 batch of IIM Shillong after working a total of 46 months in Reliance Industries Limited. My experience at Reliance taught me a lot about corporate culture but this experience also lead to me having some preconceived notions about some of the classroom experience that I would be having and boy I was wrong. Not only the courses were different from the earlier engineering courses taught to me at IIT Guwahati, the manner in which they were taught was also totally different.

Our campus, also known as the "Campus In Clouds" is one of the most beautiful campuses I've ever seen. Situated in the beautiful city of Shillong, also known as the Scotland of the East, the climate is cool and soothing for the entire year. Located on a hill, the view from the campus is magnificent, covering various layers of clouds and scenic beauty. It isn't a rare sight to feel the clouds around you being here.

IIM Shillong – What Makes The Campus In The Clouds Unique

Attending IIM Shillong is a daunting and at the same time, a rewarding task. The first year is the toughest. The class is grouped into sections. A section attends the same courses, taught by faculty from both the academia and industry. Right away, you have to learn a new method of learning, as faculty is just a facilitator and the cases designed for study can have multiple potential solutions. One has to prioritize and prepare accordingly (and pray the cases once has skipped wouldn’t end up reflecting in the grades for a lifetime).

IIM Shillong - Making Men Out Of Boys

IIM Shillong - Making Men Out Of Boys

One of the quotes that I remember before joining a B-school was that “ They say that an MBA makes men out of boys, at least professionally". One thing that I can vouch upon is the fact that my journey here in IIM Shillong has been bumpy, adventurous and exciting. The time spent here has pushed me out of the comfort zone enabling me to explore new boundaries. Chaos is a part of daily routine, but a person who comes out of the B-school falls in love with the madness. Things that remained constant even after all this time is a smile, willingness to learn and a pinch of salt.

Very few people get the opportunity to experience an organizations life cycle from its origin i.e. starting out phase to its ultimate where it becomes a well established set-up. Where most IIM campuses are well established today and functioning since ages, IIM Kashipur is a relatively younger institution founded in the year 2011 and is still at its early phases of development.
