At the point when a friend of mine initially articulated the words "Man, I love my college," I guarantee he wasn't discussing some crude gathering he smashed in the city. Something tells me everything a college town has to offer inspired him. Beyond the beer he so tenderly says, I’m talking the rolling green hills scattered with students on blankets, strumming guitars and singing “Kumbayah.”, I'm certain he thought more along the lines of grounds wide back ends, society chateau gatherings and college town conventions: college career staples you could never find on a city campus.
Settled in the foothills of the Himalayas, Indian Institute of Management Kashipur is what seems to me the real life resemblance of the famous John Keats poem, “A thing of beauty is joy forever”.
According to the Oxford dictionary, unique means “being the only one of its kind” or “particularly remarkable, special, or unusual”. So then what makes my college the only one of its kind or special or unusual?
How do you think it feels when a professor is teaching a core marketing subject and he suddenly stops because…Whoa!! There are clouds in the classroom and all over the campus!! How often and in how many institutes in the country or world do you think this happens? This is what makes my IIM Shillong My campus in clouds the most unique campus among any campuses of the country.
A little more than a year ago I was there trying to take the new surroundings in as our taxi drove up the long winding path with green, coniferous trees and a basketball court to the left along the entrance of IIM Shillong. I believe I am somebody who is all for new places and experiences, and the place I was going to spend 2 years of my life in looked really promising from the moment the taxi crossed the Umium Lake where grey clouds at eye level drifted over the waterbody and made it past the gates welcoming us to the campus and the 2-year life here.
It is always said that it is never about the number of people that surround you but it is about who they are. This is especially true for us in IIM Shillong. Though many people might see this as a problem I believe the best thing that has happened to this college and in my stay here is the only 180 people of us who stay here. TO add on to that the smaller size of our college due to the temporary campus that we reside in right now has also increased the uniqueness of my college as it is quite unique for a college of this stature to have such a small batch strength.
IIM Shillong was established as the 7th IIM in the country with an objective to bring business and management expertise to the North East region. Since its inception, college has been focusing on Sustainability as one of its core values.
