I remember walking into this expansive campus and wondering how different this place was from DU, the place I’d called home for 3 years. Even before it started, each person and thing made me realise how different it was going to be, after all, I wasn’t even officially a graduate the day I sat in my first class at IIM Lucknow.
I sit here typing in the cosy comfort of my room and this is exactly what I want to do, I have done some surfing on the internet (Apparently 3M makes many more products apart from post its) and I am thinking about a lot of my fellow mates here. Yesterday I was at a regional dinner, I was trying to 'socialise' - by that, I mean I was trying to talk to people I do not know. Networking is a buzz word in b-schools and everyone tries to follow it diligently, from mess halls to elevators everyone is always interacting, talking and learning, after all we learn mostly from our peers here. But sometimes I crave for the odd moments of silence, where I can reflect on all the things going around and introspect in peace. Sometimes I need hours of it.

Now that I am about to complete the first year at IIM Indore, I can proudly say "Been there, done that". Through this coveted space, I'd like to give the world a sneak peak into what goes on at IIM Indore. So, here it goes:
A study by the Economic Times has found that only 7% of India's B-school graduates are employable. While this may seem shocking at first, knowing that there are 6,000+ B-schools in India puts things in perspective. So yet once again, as over 2 lakh applicants battle it out over the CAT and the rigorous selection procedure of the IIMs, here’s exploring what makes life at an IIM different from other B-schools and how this shapes one for the journey ahead.
Greetings to all the Students of the MBA class of 2017-2019
