Every campus is unique in its own way and our campus in clouds is no exemption. From chilly hill-view hostel rooms to the cosy knowledge-enriching classrooms, IIM Shillong is always ready to offer a place full of summer and spring at the same time.
Far from the territory, there lies a lovely place, into the mountains and the woodlands that flourish in the middle of the valleys of stream Brahmaputra and waterway Surma. Indeed, even the terrain lies at the most distant corners, toward the North Eastern domains of the area – India. The place which is the capital city of "The Abode of Clouds" and regularly known as The Scotland of The East, is the city of Shillong. Inside this wonderful, green city lies the evergreen grounds of the seventh IIM of the nation – IIM Shillong. The school, IIM Shillong, which I'm a PGP member of since 2017, is known well known for its umpteen one of a kind projects and activities, also about its one of a kind manageability program which keeps running for a whole week as the establishment courses on maintainability, there exists incalculable different uniqueness related with the foundation and its teaching method. Among each one of those exceptional projects, one which I accept energizes me the most and contacts my spirit is the IIM Shillong Annual Golf Cup. The Tenth Season of IIM Shillong Annual Flagship Event, The Golf Cup initiated on eleventh of November 2017. Generally, the occasion is introduced on Day One with a formal 'putt'. The debut this year was done in nearness of Dr. Amitabha De, the chief of IIM Shillong and Mr. Shishir Bajoria, the administrator of IIM Shillong. The occasion saw support of in excess of 140 golfers, which mirrors the gravity and the noticeable quality the occasion. What I discovered astonishing was that the golfers were not simply from the North Eastern conditions of the nation, however, were even from the most remote locales of the nation. The sort of support talked in itself the earnestness and the hugeness the occasion plays in the lives of the member golfers. The occasion is an embodiment of the quality that the foundation is fit for conveying to the province as well as to the whole world. The occasion saw cooperation from corporate golfers, that aides in making a genial situation for connection between the corporates and the understudies. Being a piece of the plan group of the Tenth Season of IIM Shillong Annual Golf Cup, I view myself as blessed to think about the occasion. Since I knew about the corporate golfers taking an interest in the occasion, I was all around arranged to have a significant discussion with them. What I observed to be strikingly amazing is that the intuitive sessions in the restful settings of the Gleneagles Of The East truly increase the value of the understudies, giving them critical experiences with respect to the corporate world. The quiet green condition of the area leaves delightful recollections for the excellence of the whole three days encounter. The occasion was before chosen to be a two days occasion. The occasion was sorted out next to each other with Khlurthma, the Annual Fest of IIM Shillong, that which welcomes interest from all head B-Schools crosswise over India from different rivalries. The tenth period of the Golf Cup finished effectively with the victors being congratulated by the central visitors amid the night supper at the Meghalaya State tradition Center. The heart-throbbing knowledge at the occasion is something that I'm certain will dependably stay brilliant and clear in the brain of the considerable number of members.
A successful business owner needs to be both a strong leader and manager to get their team on board to follow them towards their vision of success. Leadership is about getting people to understand and believe in your vision and to work with you to achieve your goals while managing is more about administering and making sure the day-to-day things are happening as they should.
Indian Institute of Management, Shillong or IIM Shillong as it is widely known as is nestled in the lap of nature, in the Scotland of East, far away from the hustle and bustle of a metro city. Yet it is full of life and enriches its participants with life experiences which are unparalleled. From the day, a participant decides to join IIM Shillong after going through the gruelling selection process, the learning starts. First, it is about moving out of one’s comfort zone. The northeast part of India is relatively less explored than other parts of the country. People perceive it to be a far-off place, a different altogether even when the culture over here is a forward-thinking one, and this place is relatively far from political and other tensions. This creates a sense of being a part of a family amongst the participants as everyone is far from their hometowns. This feeling percolates down to the way of life of participants here at IIM Shillong as everyone supports, motivates, help other participants in ways unimaginable at other institutes. Also, since the batch strength is quite low at IIM Shillong hence it gives a golden opportunity to its participants of networking, and that too not only in one’s batch but also across batches. Participants at IIM Shillong know each their batchmates and senior batch participants personally. Even alumni make a special effort to help current students.
It’s been 1 year in the beautiful campus of IIM Shillong, the campus in clouds but it seems as if it was yesterday only when we came here for the first time, the time has just flown. Though the whole journey will be cherished all my life the most memorable one would be of sustainability trek. All the students were taken on the trek of 1 day as a part of foundation course at IIM Shillong which also makes it a unique attribute of this campus as no other institute takes their student for any kind of trek. It was a privilege for me to be a part of it and being able to witness the natural beauty so closely. Truly it was the best experience of my life.
My journey of IIM Shillong started in June 2017 and ever since my life has been entirely different from what I have been living before it. Everyone one will talk about the natural beauty, serene environment and Zen that Shillong offers. Everyone will describe how rigorous the life at IIM Shillong (same goes for every other IIM). But I want to express the number of opportunities that IIM Shillong has offered and how it has helped me to introspect and be a better myself.
Have you ever dreamt of sleeping at night and waking up to a morning filled with white misty clouds floating in the sea of blue sky and lush green background so soothing and picture perfect that you want to pinch yourself to make sure you are not dreaming? You surely must have! Just a year ago, it all seemed a dream to me too until I made my way to our very own campus in the cloud at IIM Shillong. Now it is all a part of my daily life.
Situated in the royal complex of Mayurbhanj, which earlier was the summer palace of Mayurbhanj royal family, probably Indian Institute of Management, Shillong is the only institute to be situated in an old palace area. Apart from the scenic beauty of the campus, the crown jewel of our institute is the faculty fraternity. The highly qualified faculty, teaching a lesser number of students when compared to other comparable institutes. This has given heed to more student-faculty interaction, creating a more cordial learning relationship with each other. The faculty is balanced in all the major domains of the business administration along with special focus given to sustainability. Sustainability conference held every year, at international level, is the main event of the institute which invites international level research papers to be presented in this event, to create awareness, introduce new technology regarding sustainable business and its development. The institute was one among the pioneers to add sustainability in their core courses of post-graduation program. This makes the students imbibe the sustainable way of business development and thought development. Dr. A.P.J Abdul Kalam sir was the most esteemed guest faculty to be hosted by the institute. This has added a lot of value to the institute and the students as well. But it was very unfortunate for the nation as a while to lose him while he was doing the thing he loved the most-“teaching,” the stage still echoes his voice, and the student fraternity of IIM Shillong still remembers him and his teaching. Golf is the game of business elite; the institute hosts a golf season every year, which invites business leaders for a season of golf, which also includes interactive sessions with students and corporate discussions regarding important contemporary business proceedings. This would help in analyzing the current business trends and the perspectives of business leaders regarding the situations. These valuable insights would help the students to develop a more analytical and logical thought process towards the change in market situations. The college along with the development of students in-house also aims to develop the north-east region. It has included this in its core principles, the college provides free career consultation for the students in the region, making them know about the available future career options. The institute also conducts survey projects for the development of north-east, collaborating with government agencies and ministries. These projects also include a feasibility study, environmental impact analysis, and many such things. To promote the entrepreneurial spirit among the people of nearby localities, the college conducts entrepreneur summit every year called EMERGE, where the business leaders of well-established firms, along with founders of some of the successful start-ups and entrepreneurs will be invited for a weeklong event. There will be discussions moderated by in-house faculties; there will also be recognition of best entrepreneur who has developed a sustainable business model in the north-east region, aiding to development of the region and also the people directly or indirectly. The journey in this institute is filled with chilled weather, continuous rainfalls and occasional earthquakes, apart from all the studies, there has to be time pulled out to explore the unexplored raw nature in north-east India, and enjoy the local culture in the sister states. This is a lifetime experience, no matter how fancier words you use, it is never fully portrayed, to live and experience north-east would be the best decision of anyone.
