Each and every class in IIM Indore is exciting, engaging and there is so much learning. The learning comes not just from the professor but also from all my classmates, through all the class participation. And it is this very thing which I like the most about my B-school class as compared to my engineering one. All the students contribute actively to the discussion and maximise the inputs.
As a student of IIM Indore, to describe my campus as unique would be an understatement. Throughout my first year, from interacting with people from all walks of life to being part of activities I never imagined I would get into, to balancing the stress of academics, this campus has played a huge role in shaping who I am as a person.
Having always lived in the comfortable environment of home, coming to hostel for the first time was a drastic change. But the change was imperative.
My life so far has been, very nearly, no different from the life of the average, clueless person. I like to believe that this very cluelessness reached its pinnacle in those days when I, too, used to be studying engineering. That is a path so trodden, so trampled upon, so crisscrossed all over with footprints that when you walk to the end and look back, it looks less like a path and more like a sinking patchwork of directionless feet.
On 23rd of June, 2018 as I landed in IGI Airport, I had a heart full of dreams and a head full of expectations. After all the 2 years one spends in a B-School are supposed to be the best years of their lives. It was my 3rd visit to the national capital and this was going to be a long one!!
Everybody - and I mean, literally everybody - is fighting everyone else to gain control of the entire landmass of Westeros. IIFT Delhi is no less than a real world Westeros. IIFT is 7 acres long ; the splendidly cold north- New Hostel inhabited by the Starks (seniors), the mid-region – academic block, the hot southern desert – Old Hostel inhabited by the Lannisters ( juniors) and not to forget the Wildlings – C9 (few junior boys). Although the journey to conquer Westeros does not involve murderous plotting, it sure does involve paradoxical climaxes, fantabulous fantasies, assassinations (figurative), forced rituals, battle scenes and tentative tragedies.
The journey to get through MBA entrances just for a seat at a premier B-school is so fierce that we are prepared to think it is 'us against the world'. Many of us entered the red old building with the same thought. But little did we know about the culture within these historical walls which has shaped us to think differently. JBIMS is all about its people.
