Every morning I woke up realising the number of days to kick start my b-school journey. Days traversed through many emotions and ended up with warm hugs from my family. And there went away another torn page of my calendar on the floor.
“And suddenly you know: It's time to start something new and trust the magic of beginnings.” ― Meister Eckhart. After spending a span of nineteenth months in India’s biggest software giant, I was really excited to become a part of the esteemed Business Management programme of XIMB. As an abecedarian in this field, I was really anxious about how rigorous life will be in the next two years. Ultimately the day came when I got the opportunity to face the real classroom challenge of a School. It's laudable to say the infrastructure provided by the college could easily give the ABC’s a run for their money. Before the classes started, got to know my peers from diverse academic backgrounds, having work experience in almost all sectors from the oil industry to Event management. Unlike Btech, the best thing I liked about the professors was their diligence and passion towards the field of teaching, thus forming the backbone of this college. Learnt about a lot of business jargons from various domains like Marketing, Financial Management, Statistics on the first day itself gave me the zeal to strive towards achieving my goals. The cynosure of this institute has been its teaching pedagogy, the way marketing is taught to us using Harvard Case Studies, which not only enhances our business acumen but strengthens our real-life case study solving ability. Overall it was a magnificent experience which I will cherish throughout my life. Thank You, XIMB
A combination of the top quality course curriculum, infrastructure and campus life with full of student-driven fascinating activities, makes the campus experience an impeccable one. These enable the institution to consistently provide 100% summer placements and stellar final placements in a city like Bhubaneswar, which may be viewed by many as not very metropolitan. The Jesuit campus produces highly disciplined all-round management and an enviable students’ pool. I filtered my choice by looking at the school’s reputation, where XIMB is carrying a 31-year-old legacy and it is in the process of getting an Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) accreditation. So I found this is the best B-school that I could have got into.
As a young and energetic engineering graduate, I got placed in an automotive company and started my career. I gained more experience by working along with people from a low level to top management level. I planned to pursue my MBA as I felt that I need to gain knowledge in various domains that make up a business. I gave CAT’17 exam and got selected for a few reputed institution’s next levels of the admission process. After the final results were declared, I had choices to choose from and finally, I selected IIM Raipur. It is one of the prestigious institutions in India with huge development within seven years of its inauguration. There are various factors that made me choose IIM Raipur over others. One main factor was the relationship with foreign universities from various countries for student exchange program. Any institution that needs to have an exchange program with IIM Raipur should be ranked one among the top 100 universities in the world. This criterion ensures that the student gets the best out of the crowd and experience world-class education. We get to interact with students from different countries and share knowledge with each other. Next factor that I took into consideration is the corporate relationship. Any institution that has a good relationship with corporates will give its students a wide range of options and knowledge. As IIM Raipur has a strong relationship with many corporates, we will get to attend workshops presented by most experienced and top icons of various industries. This will also help us to know more about the real-time business functioning and challenges. Then comes the alumni network that a college maintains. In the business world, building a good network is an important part. For an institute, the alumni network helps to get in touch with various corporates and ensures interaction with students to share their experience and knowledge. Students also can seek assistance from alumni for their project or research works. As IIM Raipur has an active alumni committee that conducts many city meets and functions, it ensures the relationship between the institutes and the alumni. Placement is one of the major criteria that everyone considers before choosing an institution. To create an opportunity for students to show their skills and to get placed, an institution should have a strong network with various industries and its top management. As I mentioned earlier, IIM Raipur has a strong relationship with the corporate world and a good network among its alumni base that helps it to provide a wide range of opportunities to the students of the institution. Apart from all these relationship and networks, the institution should provide a platform for its students to showcase their talents in various fields. The clubs and committees of IIM Raipur ensure to conduct various activities and events and ensures active participation of the students. As every other institute has various activities and networks, IIM Raipur is unique in every aspect that it tries out for the betterment of its students. All activities are student driven and hence we will get to learn and experience more challenges to make our self a better person.
As IIM Raipur campus is still operating at its temporary campus, there is nothing much to boast about the campus infrastructure, though we would be moving in our own 200-acre new campus in next two months. But there are still a few things which make this campus unique, that I would say are its student and culture that they have developed in these last 8 years.
Like every other engineering graduate, I had no idea where I wanted to go and what I wanted from my life. Being a mechanical engineering graduate from an average private institute, I was lucky enough to find a job without even sitting for a rigorous placement drive. I was offered a job in a start-up and to my luck, it was the kind of work that I loved to do. One year and half of scrupulous work made me realize that I wasn’t growing as expected: personally or professionally and my dream of launching a start-up was lost somewhere. This is when I decided to buckle up and get into a good business school. My idea of going into a b-school was fuelled by the desire of getting to know people from diverse backgrounds and learn in a competitive environment. So that, one day I could launch a start-up, catering to social causes.
Indian Institute of Management (IIM) was set up by the Government of India, Ministry of Human Resource and Development (MHRD) in 2010 at Raipur, the capital of Chhattisgarh. It was formerly a part of Madhya Pradesh before the state of Chhattisgarh was formed on 1st November 2000. Chhattisgarh is one of the fastest growing states of India with its rich mineral, forest, natural and local resources.
Wasn't it long back, when I had dreamt about learning the Management fundas from one of the premier institutes of the country. Little did my poor mind knew that soon the opportunity will be provided to me at IIM Raipur.
