“The world is the true classroom. The most rewarding and important and important type of learning through experience, seeing something with our own eyes.”

By now you would have come across hundreds of articles and tips on how to cope up with term 1 in your b-school. But hey, here’s the real deal! Why would you want to “cope up” when you can ace it at your pace!? One year back, I was in your shoes as well. I reached my b-school and took a long deep breath at the gate. I took a moment to myself before entering in and recollected all those words from seniors, mentors, parents, uncles, aunties, countless articles… “Term 1 is going to be a roller coaster ride! Be focused! Study hard! Term 1 will determine your position! Take it seriously! You will be balancing 10 elephants with 2 hands etc etc!!!” *feeling nostalgic already!?*
15 years of school in Joka made it my second home during childhood. Going to and coming home from school every day gave me a glimpse of the hallowed gates of IIM Calcutta just across the road. Even the bus conductors shouted ‘Management! Management!’ to contest for passengers; such is this institution’s aura! One thing became clear right then – my choice of b-school would be easy if I ever looked for an MBA.
With glittering lights sparkling my eyes, cool breeze soothing my heart and light music easing through the winds, the horizon of skies end and Life at SIBM begins!
Life at IIM Indore can be hectic with all the lined up classes, back-to-back schedules, chasing deadlines and what not? Imagine, amongst all this rush, if students have to go out to get daily supplies, yummy food, etc. and considering Rau circle (3km) as the closest civilisation spot…UFF! That is when Merchand-I (The Retail Club of IIM Indore), Planet-I’s very own Retail Club comes to the rescue… Sticking by our motto, “Bringing Life to Planet-I”!
9th January 2017 was the day when they declared CAT-2016 results. I had scored 99.04 percentile. Never did I know that this will play little role in getting me a top college. Some institutes gives the CAT score a 40% weight while others had it at 30%, my parents, on the other hand, gave it 100%. Loud they went on to send messages on WhatsApp “OUR SON HAS SCORED 99.04%ILE. [WE ARE] PROUD OF HIM”. Little did they know that dreams were about to be shattered. IIM A, B or C seemed a distant dream and I had to reset my goals towards IIM Indore and Shillong.
