During the first week of our orientation into Indian Institute of Management Tiruchirappalli, fondly known as IIM Trichy we got a glimpse of how we will delve into the academics. The session on Operation Management conducted by Professor Sirish Gouda and Professor Sivakumar S. was one of the greatest surprises. When we entered the classroom we were greeted with the warm smiles of the professors and were instructed to occupy any of the chairs around the several round tables.
Every campus is unique in its own way. Our campus, situated on a hill is no exemption. With clouds entering the classrooms during lectures to the versatile professors, there is always an excitement and amusement.
Well in simpler terms I can say I'm from Trichy and that's why I chose IIM Trichy. But that’s not the major reason for choosing IIM Trichy. IIM Trichy was found in 2011 and it was mentored by IIM Bangalore. It was the 11 th IIM to be set in India. It is located on the outskirts of Trichy on the Trichy - Pudhukkottai highway and has a campus of 175 acres. The values of IIM Trichy include Academic freedom with professional responsibility, Dignity, Fairness, Ethical behavior, Sustainability and Diversity to promote inclusiveness. These are the things which creates an environment where the students can achieve their maximum potential and also helps in creating responsible leaders by providing values - based and application-oriented management education. IIM Trichy provides a culture inspires entrepreneurship and innovation. This is exactly a culture which I’m looking to be for my MBA. I am a fresher and I wish to learn, formally, through the wisdom of some of the best faculty in the country, which IIM Trichy provides, before going in to the corporate world. IIM Trichy has one of the healthiest faculty-to-students ratios in the country. Well experienced faculties are key members in nurturing a learning environment and in creating the business leaders of the future. Even though IIM Trichy has been in existence only for a few years they have met the highest standards of knowledge creation and dissemination through their research and pedagogical methods. The placements in IIM Trichy is better than the other new IIMs. Being close to Bangalore (IT Capital of India) and Chennai has helped Trichy in bringing reputed companies to campus. IIM Trichy has various clubs and committees that ensures all the needs of the students are being taken care of and also aim at the well being of students during their stay at the campus. The academic clubs help the students to have a unique learning experience and non-academic clubs ensures the students have an all-round exposure with the adequate amount of extra- curricular activities. One of the toughest choices I had after my cat and interviews was to choose a college to pursue my MBA. First I devised a plan to make a priority list of all the colleges. I included various factors such as faculty, placements, infrastructure, prominent companies, clubs and committees, sports facility, public opinion and personal bias. I gave different weightage to each factor and awarded marks to every institute and made the list. When I converted all the new IIMs except IIM Trichy I felt bad but joined another institute. After a couple of days in that institute I converted IIM Trichy. I couldn’t be more happier. I withdrew my admission there and joined IIM Trichy without any second thought because I didn’t want to miss the opportunity of studying in this prestigious institute.
People all around the world love to travel to hilly areas and enjoy the beauty of nature but a few are fortunate enough to stay in such a place and also study. I am one of those fortunate people where every day I wake up to get greeted by the clouds.
One of the most memorable days in the life of an IIM Shillong graduate would be the Sustainability Trek we go on in the second week of the first term. I vividly remember that day and I shall put my memories into words here.
It has been one year from the day when I first stepped into IIM Shillong, a campus in clouds. It would be injustice towards IIM Shillong if I limit it to “Campus in clouds” tag. No doubt, it is much more than that it is a campus full of hopes, happiness, determination, positivity, surprises and many more. In fact the bucket of tags and association that I can make with my college is overflowing.
